If you’re in for the adventure of Carl Fredricksen, you better prepare your heart.
Disney-Pixar brought another film about love, intricately wrapped in an adventure packed story of exploring the wilderness. For almost a year of advertising the movie in cinemas for some parts of the globe, watching only the trailer gives a totally different story for what “Up” really is.
“Up” is a story of Carl Fredricksen and his quest of flying his house and parking it next to Paradise Falls. His unusual travel includes the giant bird Kevin, a talking golden retriever Dug, and the Wilderness Explorer Russell who accompanies Carl in his new life adventures. Along the way, they meet the sinister Charles Muntz who was a famous explorer Carl and his wife Ellie admired when they were still kids.
People of all ages enjoy watching Disney- Pixar films because of the colorful world of fantasy that brings out the child in everyone. Although kids are the foremost fans of animated movies, for the movie “Up”, it’s a tale for people who have been kids long ago.
Three relevant key things give important messages – Carl Muntz’s blimp Spirit of Adventure, Ellie’s Adventure Book, and Carl’s and Ellie’s house flown to Paradise Falls using thousands of balloons. The blimp has inspired Carl and Ellie to dream and imagine their own adventure, a time in life when children believe that all things are possible. Ellie’s adventure book documents her goals and all the stuff she wants to do in the coming years – all of which are shared only with her husband Carl. Finally, what used to be a worn out and broken clubhouse becomes Carl and Ellie’s humble home, a standing witness to their love, plans, and dreams.
Watching the film once is not enough to appreciate the simplicity and beauty of life with the foundation of love and dreams. 
Who wouldn’t love Carl Fredricksen who withstood age, time, and physical limitations just to fulfill their dream of getting their house up to Paradise Falls? Who wouldn’t adore Russell who accompanied Carl all throughout the journey and willingly aided the old man beyond performing his duty as a Wilderness Explorer? Lastly, who wouldn’t be moved by Ellie, who dreamt not just of Paradise Falls but more importantly envisioned of achieving all her dreams with her husband Carl?
Prepare your heart. And think about what you want to do with your life and who you want to spend it with. A little reminder about THE transcending love may keep you directed to your path, your dreams, your reason for living.
