I don't know what movie you people saw, but I thought this was one of the best movies (let alone Pixar) that I have seen in awhile-and I see A LOT of movies. I saw it first with my husband. We laughed, we cried, and laughed, and cried some more. I took my 10 year-old neice to see it tonight. She thought it was great. I think they told the background story the man's life with his wife BEAUTIFULLY. No words. Adults can figure it out. Younger kids-it will probably go over their heads. Either way, it was no more "frightening" than any other cartoon or Disney movie. I couldn't believe the negative reviews! The themes were many: "stuff is only stuff"; stick by your friends; sometimes you have to re-think your dreams and you may realize that you are living your dream; it's not what you do, it's who you do it with that makes it special. It also beautifully depicts a long-term loving marital relationship, you know, "til death do us part." I have never written a review before, but I had to set the record straight.

This is one of the most beautiful stories ever told. The characters are lovable and endearing, and finally an animated film with real life human matters that we will all experience, and some we have already experienced. But I don't get the hate that is in the negative criticisms from johnQ Public? I can understand someone being disappointed in a film or just not liking it that's fine, but the level of anger that many people are expressing seems a bit extreme and unsettling. It's as if the public is angry they felt emotional and cried! And you know ********** good that children see that marriage is a lifelong commitment and not something you do for a few years until you become tired of it. And as far as the subject of death is concerned, to those "parents" who hated the movie, do you tell your children no one in their family will ever die? That's the problem nowadays, if children see something profound, they might ask mommy or daddy a question about divorce or death that the parents themselves don't have an answer to, at least not an honest answer anyway. To those who have not seen it, I highly recommend UP for you and your children. There is nothing wrong with this elegantly written movie. Pixar has a strong moral compass and it will not disappoint unless you are expecting mindless entertainment. For those of you with low IQ's you can always hope for Family Guy 3D.

I saw this Saturday with my dad and it was very cute. I love the dog and bird. The 3-d aspect was a bit lacking, but overall a good movie. My dad liked it as well. It is a tad sad at the start, but it had to be to understand Carl. It's life. Not all is happy times. I loved all the characters!

I think this movie was excellent. I didn't find anything distasteful. Infertility was never mentioned and neither was child abandonment. I don't know what some people were watching. They're afraid to let their kids see this movie but when these same kids turn 15 they have no problem letting them pierce their naval or leave the house with no clothes on. I find that interesting.

This movie really caught me by surprise. It touched me so deeply that I thought I would have to leave the theater sobbing. There is a very touching relationship story line that draws you into the emotion of this movie. I took my 11 year old and he thought it was OK but would have rather seen Terminator. Nice 3D effects some humor and fun charactors but still a very sensitive story. I wouldn't say this is a kid movie, it has it's moments but so did Bambi...

Not one of Disney Pixae's best 3D was not thru the whole movie adult theme about husband and wife's relationship.Did not stray away from the plot of so many other Disney movies.

I'm not sure what movie you went to - but this was a great movie! I concede that the beginning was a bit much - but so was Nemo losing his mother & Sully putting Boo back in her room! But that is also life!!! There was no mention of inferility - actually could have been them losing a baby - that is left to the observer to interpret. The bottom line is that this is a beautiful story about a man & his wife and his love for her. And then how that love motivates him to fulfill one of their dreams and the relationship he builds with this adorable boy who is missing a father figure. I have an 8 year old & a 12 year old and was more than glad we went to see this one! People need to talk with their children about death & dying and life's issues when age appropriate... This movie didn't push the line about issues that would be too much for young viewers... I laughed, cried, and was very pleased with this one!

Ok, so reading the reviews, I wasn't sure if I should take my son, but since my friends gave it better reviews, we went. I will tell you that in the first few mins of the movie the old man meets his wife (as children), then there is a musical montage of events in their life together leading up to her death. As concerns infertility, within the musical montage there is a few seconds of screen time where the couple is looking at clouds and they see shapes of babies, then the couple is in a doctors office (with a poster of a pregnant belly) and the wife is crying. It takes less time than it took for you to read the description and there is no word spoken nor is it mentioned in the movie. The whole movie is a trip the husband takes in honor of his wife who wanted to go but never was able to before she died. Yes, it is dark and there is violence. I don't think much more so than when the evil queen wanted snow white's heart cut out and put in a jeweled box or when Ariel was being chased by Ursula at the end of the little mermaid, but yes, there is violence. I don't see why this would initiate a deep conversation about death anymore than the lion king, cinderella, or any other disney movie in which someone dies. The movie was OK, I would say it was on the low end for pixar taking the place of Wall-E, but the movie was OK.
