When you see Up, and you will because I predict it will be the movie of the summer, you will join all those who have given it five stars!! The animation is amazing, the story is wonderful and the portrayal of the dogs is worth the ticket price.
Not to give away too much of the story, this is a classic tale of love and letting go--two of the most difficult things we humans ever have to do. It is also the story of how animals and children temper the effects of loss and aging. And if you ever wanted to know what Sammy would sound like if he could talk, look no further than the character of Dug in the movie--the lone retriever type dog.
The interaction between human and animals is fascinating and once again animals lead the way--reminding the human what is important--family and loyalty. Get a dog? Maybe. But also get back in the natural world to help cure whatever ails you.
In short, go see it. Don't even wait to take a child with you. This is a film that is perfect for everyone, with minimal dialogue, wonderful music and absolutely brilliant animation that will enthrall you. An "upper" in every sense of the word!
