Up Movie Description:
Carl Fredricksen, a 78-year-old balloon salesman, is about to fulfill a lifelong dream. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, he flies away to the South American wilderness. But curmudgeonly Carl's worst nightmare comes true when he discovers a little boy named Russell is a stowaway aboard the balloon-powered house. A Pixar animation.
Up is a 2009 American computer-animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film was directed by Pete Docter, co-directed by Bob Peterson (in his feature directorial debut), and produced by Jonas Rivera. Docter and Peterson also wrote the film's screenplay and story, with Tom McCarthy co-writing the latter. The film stars the voices of Ed Asner, Christopher Plummer, Jordan Nagai, and Peterson. The film centers on elderly widower Carl Fredricksen and Wilderness Explorer Russell, who go on a journey to South America in order to fulfill a promise that Carl made to his late wife Ellie. Along the way, they meet a talking dog named Dug, and encounter a giant bird named Kevin, who is being hunted by the explorer Charles Muntz who is Carl's childhood idol.
Originally titled Heliums, Docter conceived the outline for Up in 2004 based on fantasies of escaping from life when it becomes too irritating. He and eleven other Pixar artists spent three days in Venezuela gathering research and inspiration. The designs of the characters were caricatured and stylized considerably, and animators were challenged with creating realistic cloth. Composer Michael Giacchino composed the film's score. It was Pixar's first film to be presented in 3D format.
Up debuted at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival on May 13, 2009, and was released in the United States on May 29. The film received critical acclaim from critics for its screenplay, animation, characters, themes, narrative, Asner's vocal performance, Giacchino's musical score, and the opening sequence. Organizations like the National Board of Review and American Film Institute named Up as one of the top 10 films of 2009. It earned $735.1 million worldwide, finishing its theatrical run as the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2009. Up was nominated for five awards at the 82nd Academy Awards, winning two, and received numerous accolades. Among these, it became the second animated film in history to receive a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

When we lose someone, we all seem to forget that they wouldn't want us to just stop and be frozen in grief. Maybe Ellie sent Russell to Carl's house to get him going again--or so I'd like to think. "The ones who love us never really leave us."

[@thomasvlaskampiii6850]

It is possible that Ellie had some influence in Russell going to Carl's house. Though the timing couldve been better. I honestly wonder why Russell was hiding on the porch to begin with. It had been several days, court proceedings take a long time, so why was Russell there?

Carl never looked through the Adventure Book because of guilt. His whole life, he had promised to take Ellie to Paradise Falls so she could fill that book with her adventure, but life got in the way and they never got to go before she passed. He couldn't look because he thought those pages were empty and that emptiness would hurt him even more, because he thought he failed her. It never occurred to him that as she grew older, her idea of what an adventure was could change and that for Ellie, their life together was her adventure. Thank you for being open and vulnerable through this reaction - I'm crying right along with you. :)

It is one of the greatest setup / payoff moments I've ever seen in any film. It happens at exactly the right time to recontextualize everything he's done up to that point. He couldn't take her to the falls but she cherished their life together. It wasn't wasted.

They kinda missed with Lightyear, not because of any one thing imo, they just a failed at capturing the Genre that Inspired Buzz Lightyear as a toy, the original and more fantasy-like Sci-fi shows. They couldn't capture that energy, or get the right abount of Campiness, which is what those kind of Space Stories were, because they were focused on what might be Possible out in space, not the grim and sometimes depressing reality.

[@Wastelander1972]

I’m sure this wasn’t lost on you, but Carl watching the house fall down to parts as of yet unknown was a very significant part of the film. He tells Russell that “its just a house”, because that’s all it was. It was a possession. Ellie loved the adventure she had with him during their lives together. The house was just where they got to share it. But it wasn’t Ellie. Carl learned not to equate his loved one with a possession, and that can be a hard thing to do.

[@wordforger]

Exactly. The house symbolized his grief and attachment to her memory. He never took her to Paradise Falls, so he took the house he thought contained her spirit. In the end, though, he realized her spirit wasn't in her possessions, but in him. Chucking out the furniture and leaving the house in Paradise Falls was his way of symbolically leaving behind the grief that had been weighing him down since she passed and starting his new life without her.

[@Stickmations1]

@BaylanAndShinand the song playing is called memories can weigh you down

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

Interesting. What would you guys (and gals) think about it ending with the house landing where Ellie had always pictured it, But instead of Muntz _dying_ he would instead have remained in the house and it would be his new home, since they took "The Spirit of Adventure". Honestly asking for a reply.

[@kriscynical]

The "Married Life" montage: The fact that Pixar was able to make all of us SO ATTACHED to Carl and Ellie in less than FIVE MINUTES with ZERO DIALOGUE is a testament to what masters of storytelling they are. A friend of mine from art school is a character animator at Pixar and started working there right after UP was released. The day after it won the Best Animated Picture Oscar, Pixar execs threw a party for all of the staff in the studio's atrium complete with champagne. Everybody at the studio - including the new people like my friend - got to have their picture taken actually HOLDING the Oscar, which I thought was amazing. She sent me that picture as well as one showing the toast given by the execs and Pete Docter (UP's director) with the entire studio raising their champagne flutes. She's told me since then that that's what happens EVERY TIME one of their films wins Best Animated Picture.

[@stacy9312]

I think this movie has the most grown-up message of any Pixar / Disney movie. That you may not get to do everything you planned together (be it a friend, partner, family or even a pet) but you can still cherish the times you had together, and that its ok to move on and keep going with your own life even after someone close to you has passed away.

[@tallyp.7643]

This movie is the literal definition of "life is what happens when you're making other plans." I bet that was the basic pitch for the writers to work around, and boy they delivered!

[@CinJyxxe]

I think this movie is incredible because Ellie, a character who only speaks a few lines, and is basically only present in the first few minutes of the film, is so PRESENT throughout. Like, everything Carl does has a little bit of Ellie in it. It's such an amazing display of genuine human connection and emotion.

[@edwardseverinsen5598]

24:42 "I thought he would have been looking through that book." Grief is rough man. There are songs I avoid because they remind me of people that've passed. It's like I hear the song and no matter what my day was like before the rest of it is colored over by the emotions that song brings on because the memories it holds. It's a way to stay sane and not get down. I don't think it's particularly healthy but it's a band aid for the moment until you heal enough to take it off. And in a way Ellie's part in the book was the last bit of communication they'd ever have. To read that last passage from her is, in a way, letting go. And he wasn't ready for that.

[@deviantassassin8141]

24:32 when his wife was in the hospital, she gave him the book, but she died and he never read her last entry till now. Them being together was her greatest adventure. That was the closure he needed😢 Film is a Masterpiece.

[@the_nikster1]

nah, I don't think anyone would disagree with you connecting with Carl at all. in a way, the bulk of this movie was Carl's journey through his grief and each of his emotions and decisions were simply an outward expression of him reaching and going through one of the stages of grief. while this movie doesn't make me ugly cry anymore, it still makes me tear up at two specific scenes: (1) when Carl discovers Ellie's note in the Adventure Book and (2) when Carl gives Russell the Ellie badge. two very small moments just full of emotion and meaning. thanks for sharing your reaction with us Mello! ❤

[@torontomame]

As the movie was ending (when I first saw it at the movies), I thought "okay, it's almost over, no more crying bits, I can relax". Then Carl pinned the Ellie badge on Russell and, BAM, water works. 😭

[@pol1229]

I think one of the saddest parts about this movie, is that in the opening scenes with Elle she was shown to work in the Bird House at the Zoo while she was married to Carl. Carl was so focused on completing their childhood adventure, that he didn't realise the things that gave her joy during her marriage. Russel is truly Carl & Elle's spirit child.

[@moeball740]

The opening sequence with Ellie just about breaks you. It is so sad, yet happy, too. It also points out that the grumpy old "get off my lawn" guy in the neighborhood may have been happy once upon a time.

[@billbill6094]

I think a lot of people overlook that Carl wasn't always or naturally a grump (unlike his entire family). He and Ellie had a happy and complete life together, his only regret is that he was never able to actually get her to Paradise Falls as they always wanted. But in his grief he lost sight of the fact that at some point they didn't have any obstacles getting in the way, they had both simply forgot about it because they enjoyed the life they built together so much. Him buying the tickets was a good gesture, but Ellie didn't need it any more than he did, it was just really bad timing that made him feel guilty about that one last trip. He lost sight of himself while he was in mourning, but found it again with a kid just as lonely as him but with the same spirit of adventure he and Ellie had back in the old days.

[@LolGurrl91]

Catharsis from something that might seem small or even trivial to others. Thank you for reacting to this film - it's hard to be vulnerable like this on camera in front of a bunch of people.

The beginning always does me in. Pixar knows how to get folks in the feels.

[@piane_e]

Pixar REALLY excels in creating stories with characters who connect with and touch everyone’s hearts. I’m thankful we have their work to teach us such valuable lessons.

[@SFAPowerhouse]

Man, every single person in the movie theatre was bawling when he looked through Ellie's married life photos towards the end. Cherish the one's you love....now and forever.

[@annemusk6609]

Around the time I saw this movie I was told Russell was supposed to represent the child Carl and Ellie never had. Sad and touching 😢 .Until the next time Mell thanx a lovely reaction and commentary 💜

[@drakeredwingofficial]

This has to be not only one of the greatest animated movies of all time, but, I would argue, one of the best movies ever made. This and Inside Out and Pete Docter's finest works, and I was completely obsessed with the airship as a kid. It's also a borderline perfect role for Ed Asner, who tragically died last year. He was always, in my head, whenever I had a story going, the voice I defaulted to for the crotchety old man characters. 10/10 movie, would fly my house to paradise falls again.

[@rcsskier]

An A+ film indeed, UP creates an iron-clad emotional connection in the first 10 minutes and then rips your heart out 10 minutes later. It's incredible.

[@user-wl8ii5kb1u]

I have seen many reactions to Pixar movies both old and new. I have seen many reactors cry to these movies including the beginning of Up. I have not seen a reactor cry throughout this movie with as many tears as you. Hats off to seeing tears stream down your face to the themes and elements that are presented throughout. From the house being personified as Ellie to Russel being the child they never had points out how things are given and taken away. Life is meant for living, and that is exactly what Ellie did.

[@Kimhuxx]

I loved every minute of this video!! You had me laughing and crying right along with you ❤

[@howardbalaban7051]

The first 10-12 minutes of this movie are in the elite tier of Pixar segments. It's just incredible.

[@andreaislandgirl720]

This movie can still make me cry, even though I've seen it many times (not including reaction videos). The way they managed to tell almost an entire lifetime together in the first ten minutes and still have the same emotional weight as a full-length movie is amazing, and watching Carl work through his grief is also both sad and heartwarming.

[@Lucky_Gurl-Luna]

Honestly I love it when he show his emotions. I literally get emotional watching him cry and wanna give him a hug . He’s such a teddy bear . I wish men would allow themselves to cry more when they feel . ❤❤❤❤

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Notice how the dogs flying division is “Gray leader”, etc., since Dogs Are Color Blind!

[@spicywiener2084]

May the voices of Carl Fredrickson and Charles Muntz Rest in Peace “ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!”👍

[@amandacantcometothephone]

i like that you said you wish carl had left the house at paradise falls and had moved on without it just to cry more when the final scene is of the house at that location 😂💖

[@strife_fox]

who doesn't cry in front of this movie ?? I mean, the "Thanks for this adventure" scene, it killed me

[@mrspatches1205]

Dang! I’m right here sobbing and laughing right along with you. This might be my favorite reaction you’ve done.

[@chriscowey7464]

Like some others have said. Your reaction to this was very emotional and real. Somebody was cutting onions over here too. When I watched it for the first time, certain emotional scenes caught me off guard too. It is a great move.

[@jessquinn6106]

Let the tears flow man. Almost everyone that saw the film admittedly broke down in tears at the same scenes. It's all good. God gave you tears and emotions for a reason. Sadly the REAL house here in Seattle based on this film was finally demolished a few years back. I lived a couple of blocks away. Now there is a memorial plague where the house was.

[@tookitogo]

Ummm… that aspect of the movie was based on the real life house. The house wasn’t based on the movie! Also, a memorial _plague_ sounds like a really bad idea.

[@captain_powow]

I'm watching this video in a fairly public room and boy did it hurt holding back tears. I literally had to put my hand on my mouth to cover up the frown and acted like I was watching something cool

[@nikkismith6845]

This was such an emotional movie but I loved this movie. I'm also glad that you are comfortable enough to show your real emotions to this movie and share that with the world. With each reaction I see of yours I become a bigger fan! Thank you for your reactions and keep them coming!😁🥰❤

[@Gregory.19037]

I was 5 years old when this movie came out and I still love this movie to this day (still gets me everytime)

[@Steelburgh]

Yeah man, that opening is something else. Greatest montage in the history of movies, in my opinion. Within 5 minutes, they make you care about the characters, feel like you've been on a journey with them, and experience their joys and pain. And all without a single word. Really incredible storytelling.

[@kingkindle4568]

Your heart and openness from an emotional black man to another just gained you another follower.

[@michelef3398]

Mel, I love ya meng. I took my nephew to see this at the theater when it came out. I was tearing up just like you and my freaking nephew half way through the movie looks at me and yells “ are you crying?! Why are you crying?” shut it kid 😂😂😂 big hugs to you my dude

[@TJordan1986]

This movie is such an amazingly powerful story about holding on to our most cherished memories while also knowing how to move on and have new adventures when we lose the things we love most. Really emotional and I was right there with you during this reaction!

[@modelotimefooooo1853]

You know, I've watched this movie a couple times and seen some reactions but the beginning of the movie never hit for me as hard as the creators intended. My grandmother passed around 8 months ago and ever since then my grandpa was just done with life. as much as it pains me, I cant help but feel solace in the fact that my grandpa who just passed away last week is with her again. all he wanted since he passed was to be with her and now hes got that. that being said, the intro to this movie now has made me feel his pain on *ANOTHER LEVEL!*

[@r.i.psteez929]

I’ve always gotten watery eyes watching this, never remember crying but the empathy this move makes you feel is second to none. People now underestimate how important a real bond in a relationship is, that a person can really be your soulmate. Yes you both make children and you could love them more cause you made them but children grow up and start their own lives. When your kids grow then who do you spend the rest of your life with ? Were in an era where cheating, divorce, “independence", and all that stuff has been normalized that it’s hard to find someone who is truly valuable and worth it. Ellie is a legend man.

[@nerdoseven332]

Im telling you when this movie came out in 2009 I was 14 and didn't really give it my full attention when watching it and always just thought it was.. fine? Never really understood the hype. Now a few months back I put it on while on a Disney/Pixar binge and the way I cried like a little child with in breath sobs and everything. Bust out laughing at myself at the end when I started crying for like the 5th time just being like GODDAMN enough already. I think this music has some tear inducing stuff in it. Sweetest movie ever!

[@josearroyo8008]

This movie is epic, it take the emotionally shattering shorts they do. Start with that then proceed to break you more with the movie theygive us.

[@Lifeonasofa]

UP really destroyed all of us. This one defo hit a lot of us who grew up in the 80s/90s with Disney movies since a lot of us were adults when UP released. It really hit us all with a more adult message. It’s a beautiful movie ❤

[@JosephBegay]

This movie became very personal to me since my wife passed away last year. At least I was very blessed to have been able to spend many years with someone who was my perfect soulmate.

[@kitty4lifesk150]

I love and appreciate how vulnerable you are with reactions like these Mell! Much love

[@tree6787]

I love this movie ❤️ I can't watch it without crying! 🎈

[@flightdub6056]

Hearing little Ellie at the start saying ‘I’m saving these pages for all the adventures I’m gonna have’ is fucking beautiful when you realise the defining adventure of her life had just begun that day

[@seattlecryptid]

The first 10 minutes never fails to bring me to tears every, _single_ , time. 😭😢

[@Laurenjoinsyoutube]

Our boy Mellow was going thru it 😅 those tears flowing

[@thatguywholovesmovies409]

I had the video game on Play Station 2 and all the chase levels where you play as Kevin was the highlight of my childhood!!! Amazing movie forever!❤️🙏🏾

[@SareyGamp]

People always go on about how tearjerking the opening of this is, you're the first person (other than myself) I've seen bawl throughout the whole thing. I've only been able to watch it once (just your review had me like frikkin Niagara Falls), but it's a beautiful masterpiece.

[@chellesama8256]

New sub for the honest reactions. I was crying with you! Without grief weighing him down, Carl definitely has a life left to live.

[@Spthomas47]

Gahd I love this movie no matter how brutal the first segment(you know what I mean)is, and maybe more because of it.

[@tallyp.7643]

Giving you a virtual hug, Mello. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, sweet, sad, and fun in turns. Definitely a helluva picture of grief, old and new relationships. It took me a few viewings to realize Carl kept stopping himself from going further in the Adventure book, so sure there would be nothing but blank pages and he'd feel he failed her in their life together. But once he dared to look after some photos got knocked loose, it's like he could finally grieve, because their life together WAS an adventure. And watching this with you, I finally remembered that walking scene where Russel was talking about the way things used to be with his dad and how he actually remembers the boring stuff the most. And Ellie's photos were full of those little moments in their life together. Between those two scenes, Carl finally got it.

[@meganmichaels9510]

I saved all my tears til the end When he took him for ice cream just like his father used to do, I bawled for 10 min

[@hectoralarcon3491]

I'm an old man and I can't help but laugh and cry at this movie. I usually don't give a damn about the forced emotionality of some movies, but this one hits me in an indescribable way that I can't help myself.
