Up

Up (2009) is one of the best animated movies ever made.

The opening sequence is probably the most emotional and beautiful montage in cinema history. It tells the story of Carl and Ellie, a couple who share a lifelong dream of traveling to Paradise Falls, a remote location in South America. Without any dialogue, we see their joys and sorrows, their hopes and disappointments, and their love and loss.

Pixar doesn't innovate much in this movie, but you don't really have to when the formula works. Up is a masterpiece. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it today. You won't regret it.

Sometimes the greatest adventure is not out there, but right here with the people we love. 4/5.
