Treat the Grandkids - Go UP!

From Disney/Pixar comes UP, a heart-warming comedy adventure about a 78 year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfils his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8 year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell…..

UP is the 10th film from Disney/Pixar, which has gone nine from nine with an unprecedented streak of hugely successful films comprising “WALL-E”, “Ratatouille”, “Cars”, “The Incredibles”, “Finding Nemo”, “Monsters, Inc.”, “Toy Story”, “Toy Story 2” and “A Bug’s Life”.




















UP has been met with rave reviews since its New Zealand release on 10 September – here’s a sample of what they’re saying:-

“Up is a ready-made classic; an imaginative, invigorating story that will transport you to a time in your childhood, like Carl’s, where dreams were just a handful of crayons away” – Andrew Hedley, flicks.co.nz

“Pixar's best film since, well, the last one” – Russell Baillie, nzherald.co.nz
