Up

I never thought a kids cartoon movie would make me cry in the first fifteen minutes. People I know who saw it told me it was sentimental and made them tear up, yet I did not believe. I didn't get to see the movie in 3d because I had to rent it, but the visuals of the colorful balloons and animated people were still really cool. I really liked this movie because it was so well done and actually had a plot. So many kids movies now are really bad like the talking chihuahua ones that parents are forced to sit through for their kids. The fact that Up appeals to both children and adults is probably the reason it was so successful. It really touches on the idea that relationships are so important in our lives and that we need to appreciate the people we are with while we are still together with them. I thought that the little boy was cute, albeit annoying at many times. I guess I liked him from the moment that he stood on the porch and tried to help the old man to earn his patch. I thought that the way he advertised his help was really funny. The middle of the movie dragged on kind of long and I was sort of waiting for their adventure to end, but the ending of the movie was really good. It is strange how you can feel so much sympathy for these weird square headed people, but you really connect to them. I know that I am one of the last people to see this movie, but I would recommend it to people.
