Cinema Genius

In childhood sometimes kids believe that if they have enough baloons they can go up in the air and fly away. As we grow up this belief vaporizes along with Santa Claus and Easter bunny. Obviously, the creators of the lastest animated film Up still somehow retained that childhood dream as they make that come into reality, at least on the big screen. They send grumpy old loner Carl with the  young scout Russel  to to South America on a house suspended from helium balloons.

This escapist fantasy produced by Pixar Animation Studios proved to be attractive to the audience and as it brought over 68 million dollars during the opening weekend.  The film lured a lot of family oriented movie goers even though in reality it would require 23 million balloons make Carl’s house fly, according to the calculation of the specialists.

Usually dissatisfied critics praised Up calling it really special and giving it great reviews.  And Robert Egbert liked it so much that he gave it four out of four stars.
