Up is a movie I have been waiting for quite some time. :D
After watching the trailer, obviously the characters Carl and Russell caught my attention.
Carl, the old man who previously was a balloon salesman.
Russell, the overly zealous young boy scout.
I really like how Carl has that tendency to go "No!" to whatever Russell wanted. Like when Russell offered him help, when Russell asked if he could come inside, and when Russell asked if he could keep the dog. And I like how he used balloons to move from where he lived to South America. As if to say "Just because it is something you think is not normal, does not mean that I should not do it"
I love how he is part of the comedy action going on when he has absolutely no intention of doing so.
And Russell, I love how he is always so enthusiastic about everything like wanting to keep that talking dog and that weird bird. :D And him thinking of ways he could earn badges for himself.
Pictures of the characters in action. :D
And in case anyone is interested, the voice actor for Russell is an Asian American. :D
This movie is all about adventure, with an awesome moral behind it. :D
Regardless of age, in times of adversity, you will always end up finding a true friend who is there for you, by your side, all the time.
And Carl is like a reflection of us people in real life. As compared to young Russell who is so full of life, enthusiasm, and so full of dreams, we seem to have lost ourselves as we age. Carl has only decided to pursue his dreams at age 78, when he is old and graying.
In contrast to Russell, Carl is always dull and rigid, not doing things that he really wanted to do. It seems that Russell is there for him to remind him of his dreams, to do what he wanted to do, which was to fly to South America.
We conform to what society deems as proper and normal, anything else is just being frowned upon. Lucky for Carl, he managed to achieve what he wanted to do all along. And we should too.
... After reading so much on my blog, do you think you should catch the movie?!
OF COURSE YOU SHOULD! :D UP WILL BE TOTALLY AWESOME!
So do remember to catch Up when it is showing in the cinemas near you. :D

"I could help you... cross your yard~"

He is 9 this year, and he got the part because he had that innocent look which fits the character really well.
... And also because he could not stop talking. HAHAHA!
Jordan Nagai, voice actor for Russell.
