I saw Up in 3-D over the weekend and I absolutely loved it. However, I wouldn't really recommend seeing it in 3-D. It's not worth the extra money, even though I did look pretty cool in the Rivers Cuomo-style 3-D glasses. I thought the story was pretty quirky (even by Pixar standards)-- I found the whole talking dog thing to be hilarious, even though it was a little odd that talking Bulldogs and Doberman Pinscher were roaming around the mountains of South America. I only had one gripe throughout the movie: I know it's a cartoon and I'm supposed to put common sense aside (they did fly to South America in a Victorian airlifted by balloons), but throughout the movie I couldn't stop wondering about the kid's mom. Wasn't she freaking out back at home wondering what happened to her son? But common sense aside, I thought it was one of the better movies I've seen this summer for the following reasons:
- Chubby kids, chubby dogs, and little old men are the cutest things known to man, when combined, the combination is fatal.
- "Dogs Playing Poker" NEVER gets old.
- A female bird named Kevin.
That movie has copyright infringement all over it... I mean look at the chubby kid! Does he or does he not look like someone you know? Ahem! ;) Where are my royalties? Great write-up, Elisa. - Ansel
