The latest Pixar film "Up" may just have earned its place up there (no pun intended) with my other favorites, the "Toy Story"series and "Finding Nemo." Don't get me wrong, I enjoy ALL Pixar creations. Their magical and clever storylines never cease to amaze me. But this one really touched and stood out to me.
Besides the breathtaking visuals and quarky characters, the storyline and themes were very profound to me. As with other Pixar films, it was a story of friendship and adventure. But what made "Up" so beautiful was how it portrayed the conflict of what to do with your dreams and aspirations when life throws you for a loop and causes you to take a detour. It was such a touching story that highlighted the sponteneity of real life and that these detours, though frustrating and tempting to resist, can lead to wonderful and amazing experiences if one is just willing to try and see.
And, okay I have to admit. I really appreciate the main child character being an Asian kid. Very hip, Pixar, I approve.
Both children and older folk alike can be taught a lesson about the stubbornness of the human will, but also the resilience of the human heart. "Up" was definitely an adventure for the spirit and left me inspired and quite enchanted.
