Usually I HATE children's movies, with their stupid plots and their bathroom jokes. But "UP" is not your typical children's movie. It has a storyline that manages to deliver a number of deeply resonant messages in a way that doesn't leave you feeling like you need a shot of insulin. It is bittersweet, and I heard the (teenaged) viewers behind me talking about how they were crying during the sad parts. But it has a very positive ending. There was no creepy or offensive message or image, just a very well done and enjoyable film. You do need to suspend your disbelief, as this move has a very fantastical premise. But don't miss this one.
