Stream Up Movie Online.
Movie Title: Up Up is available for streaming or downloading. |
Here’s a movie for dog lovers, the elderly, children of divorce, FOBs (Friends of Birds), used Boy Scouts, people yearning for adventure, and anyone who has ever loved… and lost. Up is for everyone. It made me laugh out loud, and it made me yowl.

I idea it would be tough for Up to match the emotional power of Wall-E. The two Pixar films are similar in their lack of dialogue in the first act, which helps deepen the emotional impact. Up begins with Carl, a insecure young boy star-struck by a well-known explorer; and kookie Ellie, who has a similar obsession. The two kids become quick friends, and enlighten to one day move to Venezuela’s Paradise Falls. After getting married, they engage their dream home and fix it up, hoping to bear it with children. Carl and Ellie’s life together from childhood through old-fashioned age is depicted, silently, with delicacy and subtlety. The first 15 minutes is like a celebration of a overjoyed marriage, and you truly feel Carl’s wound when he is left alone. He sits slumped in his chair, talking to the house as if it is the missing Ellie.
When developers halt in on Carl’s beloved home, he decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie and disappear to Paradise Falls. A venerable balloon vendor, Carl lifts his home with hundreds of quick-witted balloons. Stowing away on the porch is Russell, a bulky, valorous kid trying to come by a scouting badge.

After landing in Paradise Falls, the outmoded man and the small boy are joined by a golden retriever named Dug who can talk with his collar, and a broad rare bird that bonds with Russell (he names her “Kevin”) . Dug is priceless: spot-on for every dog that ever lived, including an obsession with squirrels. Through a series of terminate calls and adventures, the quartet vanquishes a villain, saving the day. And Russell earns his scouting badge.
In the process, Carl learns to let go of his dismal mourning for Ellie, and live life again. When this happens, a truly magical thing happens. Before, Carl’s craggy face is gray and monochromatic. At the moment of his transformation, Carl’s face is awash in color, and he is surrounded by delicate hues. It reminded me of The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy steps out of her gray world and into a candy-colored Munchkinland. Carl, too, enters a whole modern world.
Up is a deeply emotional film, burly of truth. It’s the year’s best film. Salvage another triumph for Pixar.
Someday, Pixar is going to do it — they’re going to gain an emotionally uninspiring, lackluster appealing movie. But in the meantime, they’re aloof putting out luscious absorbing movies like “Up,” which defies the usual kid-movie conventions by starring a crotchety former man. It’s a charming, fun cramped adventure tale with flying dogs and balloon-powered houses, but underlying it is a bittersweet miniature yarn about loss and adore.
As a child, the tremulous Carl Fredricksen bonded with the oddball Ellie over their shared cherish of adventure, the explorer Charles Muntz, and Paradise Falls. They later married, travel into their “clubhouse” together, and lived a long, sadly childless life together. When Ellie died, she had never fulfilled her dream of going to Paradise Falls.
Now crotchety, alone and harassed by a trusty estate developer, Carl (Ed Asner) is finally ordered to a retirement home. But he isn’t going quietly — instead he attaches thousands of balloons to his house and floats it away toward South America. But he accidentally takes an interested, naive Wilderness Explorer (a thinly-veiled Boy Scout) named Russell (Jordan Nagai) along for the wander. Unpleasant kid was unbiased trying to win an “assisting the elderly” badge.
And the jungle dash to Paradise Falls turns out to have some surprising obstacles: a titanic emulike bird that Russell names Kevin, a talking dog named Dug (”I am jumping on you, bird!”), and a mysterious ragged man who lives deep in the heart of the jungle. Turns out the extinct guy is very familiar to Carl — and to remove Kevin, he’s willing to sacrifice Carl and Russell.
Industry experts were babbling about how “Up” wouldn’t be as current as the previous Pixar movies, because the protagonist is basically a crusty extinct coot. Well, shows what they know. It ended up becoming one of those classic movies that somehow appeals to all ages — while the humor and action appeal to children, adults can relish Carl’s like for his lost wife, and his tedious realization that he’s clinging to the past.
In fact, the first ten minutes are some of the most heart-tugging, quietly bittersweet scenes I’ve seen in a long time. Without a word, they reveal all the ups and downs of a realistic marriage — joys, sorrows (Ellie’s inability to have children), growing old-fashioned together, and finally loss.
But it’s not a depressing movie by any stretch — in fact, it’s like a childhood fantasy arrive to life, complete with a floating house suspended on hundreds of balloons, and biplanes piloted by a talking dog army.. Plenty of ample dialogue (”Do you want to play a game? It’s called Stare Who Can Go the Longest Without Saying Anything.” “Frosty! My mom loves that game!”) and an action-packed climax in an customary airship.
Ed Asner is absolutely perfect as ubergrouch Carl — crotchety, grumpy, and positive to fulfill his wife’s lifelong dream, but gradually realizing he’s clinging to the past. Nagai is equally perfect as Carl’s polar opposite: a naive, chattery Scout who is clear to reunite Kevin with her baby chicks. And the utterly adorable Dug and the other dogs deserve special leer. These creatures are utterly hilarious — they talk (”I hid under your porch because I savor you”) and act the device dogs would if they talked. Three words: cone of shame.
The two-disc edition is going to have some very nice extras, but once again people with regular-def DVDs are going to bag shafted because the Blu-ray edition will have a bunch of curious stuff. Grr. As for this one, there’s a digital copy, the director’s audio commentary, kinda-alternate-ending “The Many Endings of Muntz,” and the documentary “Adventure Is Out There” about the research for this movie.
There are also a pair of adorable spicy shorts. “Partly Cloudy” has a much-abused stork having to vow potentially nefarious baby creatures from a kind but clueless cloud. And “Dug’s Special Mission” is a sort of backstory for the adorable Dug, explaining what the heck he was doing before he met up with Carl and Russell.
“Up” continues Pixar’s running tally of gloriously enthralling, emotionally layered movies that the entire family can relish. With that, I have only one more thing to say… SQUIRREL!
