'Up' web reviews

Pixar's latest animated family film is "Up," an exciting adventure directed by Pete Docter and co-directed by Bob Peterson. Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer and Jordan Nagai lend their voices to the characters in the film, which follows a 78-year-old man who decides to take his entire house on a big trip to South America. Here is what the Web's critics have to say about it:

• CinemaBlend's Josh Tyler: "Pixar uses pictures to deliver something that's so much more than visual. No matter how you see it, you’ll be moved by it. Real men cry at 'Up'."

• RopeOfSilicon's Brad Brevet: "'Up' benefits from fleshed out characters and imaginative story-telling, and the beauty of the film is found in its animation and its story, not in its third dimension."

• Joblo's Chris Bumbray: "Still, the best thing about this movie is the story and characters, which drew me into the film so deeply, that I truly forgot at times that I was watching an animated film- not because of the animation being so good, but more due to the fact that I connected so deeply to the characters."

• George Roush at LatinoReview: "Pixar's movies have all been hits and their latest film, 'Up,' is a testament to the dedication and drive of each and every person at the studio."

• Neil Miller at FilmSchoolRejects: "It is a fun, epic adventure story about two age-separated explorers traversing out into uncharted territory. But it also never loses sight of the very intimate, very touching and essentially human story that it is trying to tell."

• Cinematical's Jette Kernion: "'Up' is good enough to be included in arguments about which Pixar film is best, although I would still fight for Ratatouille, myself."
