Up

dir. Pete Docter
USA, 2009

Strange, strange film. Not sure the animation style did it any favours. I kept thinking that the visual imagination cried out for a live-action film - the balloons and the house would've been rendered so much better that way. When it got into the parallel world or whatever it is I lost interest. The real heart of the film seemed to have been abandoned - the man missing his wife and the city's and the developers' threats to his house.
