What was your favourite part of this movie? 🥰

[@ransomg9479]

When Carl gave Russell the Ellie Badge.

[@tombo1984]

I'm permanently broken because of the beginning of this movie. Still love it. 🎈🏡

[@totomomo18]

The Squirrel part with the dogs is so funny :) . Also the part where Carl looking at the album and discovering he did not fail Ellie and they did have adventures.

[@jasonstinebaugh8447]

I was married and very much in love the first time I watched this. During that opening, we just held each other and sobbed😢

[@johndaily263]

I think my favorite part is the fact that it’s a standalone epic. No sequel to dilute it. Wonderful film. Thanks for tackling it.

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

Ellie could very well be the character that has caused the most people to cry in the history of cinema. 😭

[@Gabriel-hr5oy]

I believe you are correct.

[@tyroneloki5131]

ellie?? she died, its the old man who made people cry. to live without your person is 1000x sad than the one who left. those who are left behind gets to bear the heartache

[@thatoneguy8096]

I would agree with you, but bridge to Terabithia exists

[@michaeldavidfigures9842]

She made me cry.

"Is it normal to cry this early on?" For this movie? Yes.

[@sathvamp1]

LOL I just made my own comment with your EXACT same quote... but I swear I didn't copy you :P I did also suggest to her "Miracle in Cell No. 7"... have you ever tried that? I just saw that one a few nights ago and let's just say that one is... in a total class of its own.

[@13jasonvoorhees]

@@sathvamp1 I haven't watched it, but I have heard it's a tearjerker, too!

[@sathvamp1]

@@13jasonvoorhees Total understatement lol. Well, for ME it gets more complicated than that, but hear me out: I saw the Korean version a few nights ago (there's many versions apparently). And... relevant to its famous tearjerker status and why I said it "gets complicated for me"... Here's something I've noticed about myself: Although I usually enjoy tearjerker movies (ever since "Inside Out", when I noticed that feel-good brain endorphins can often come along with tears)... BUT if there are ANY significant feelings of anxiety OR anger in me, it usually has the effect of suppressing external tear shedding from me for some reason. And there was DEFINITELY a lot of certain other emotions from me during that film. There was ALSO a lot of extreme sadness in me, and those two different emotions were competing and fighting like crazy... the sadness was fighting to get out, to let the tears make an escape (and I consciously was WILLING to let them...) but the [other emotion] was NOT letting them. I've never had such an epic battle of two different emotions in my head like that before... I literally felt emotionally constipated [lol]. But... after I watched some reactions of the same movie... MOST people who see it have a much easier time letting it out!

[@sammywilliam8156]

I've seen this movie so many times that I might not cry in the beginning but I definitely do feel sympathy for him and I do feel emotional hfrom him losing his WI can understand why he's so cranky and mean first his wife is taking away then his wife and now they won his house yeah I would be an a****** too

[@Brett33]

Every reaction of this move is literally " I can't believe we are only 10 minutes into this movie and already crying "

[@WOLVERINE25TH]

The most brutal opening 10 minutes of a movie EVER. AND pure genius. We fell in love with them as they did each other, and then suffered the loss as Carl did.

[@hughfuller8416]

Agreed

[@michaelevans1193]

The beginning is the best 10 minutes of animation I have ever seen.

[@Jim87_36]

Best emotionally. Gut wrenching. As far as best opening ten minutes in animation though, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish holds that candle... until death shows up

[@justwondering5651]

It's the best-happiest-saddest-heart-wrenching love story in film history!

[@stephentg1]

Agreed. The only thing comparable is the opening to Wall-E

[@hughfuller8416]

Breaks your soul.

[@j3pelfrey]

Arguably the best 10 minutes of cinema of all time if you ask me.

[@michellebarry1555]

Did you know that you can buy one of the Ellie badges (grape soda lid) at Disneyland? You are supposed to award it to a cast member that you felt went above and beyond to make your Disney experience wonderful. I’ve given out two. ☺️

[@LialaNaema]

Omg what?! I love this 🥺❤️

[@charleslee8313]

How am I just now hearing about this?! Can this work for WDW as well?

[@michellebarry1555]

@@charleslee8313 I’m not sure…I’ve never been.

[@nathaniellollis3868]

I believe that anyone who's heart is working/pumping would be crying in the first 10 minutes of this movie. And with all the comments from others who've seen it, you're not alone at all, Liala.

[@robbiehooley3639]

I think Up is one of the best animated movies of all time. The level of emotional impact within the first 10 minutes is outstanding, and with so few words even being spoken. It manages to make you care so effortlessly, while also being funny and telling a memorable story! Really glad you enjoyed it!

[@ajandrianjafymusic]

Carl and Ellie are legitimately the ultimate Disney couple goals. No magic, no big surprises just pure true love

[@TheeGoatPig]

I knew from the commercials that Carl was a widower. So the moment the movie introduced Ellie as a child? I started weeping immediately. On a plane flying out to Vegas... And I cry every time I have seen it since. It's my favorite animated movie of all time.

[@BigMike246]

I never get tired of this film. From the opening montage to the revisiting of the Adventure Book during the closing credits.

[@maximillianosaben]

The opening of this movie is infamous, and it doesn't disappoint. There's a reason it is on many "try not to cry" challenges.

[@StevesTubes]

The first 10 minutes are pure genius. With almost no dialog and subtle but powerful music they make us care and move us to tears in record time.

[@xtop23]

The beginning is just brutal. Nobody escapes the first 10 minutes of up with dry eyes. It’s inescapable.

[@TheTradge]

The opening 10 minutes of this film probably made everyone who watched it sob uncontrollably, so yes it is normal to cry that early 😅

[@chiefcrash1]

The most gut-wrenchingly effective display of "show don't tell"

[@Jim87_36]

I think the only thing that comes close is Kitbull

[@jessquinn6106]

Interesting bit of news today: the REAL Up House that the film is based on, here in in Ballard Washington, was given the go to become a permanent memorial. People are still bringing their balloons and leaving them tied to the fence.

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

The "UP" waterfall is real. The inspiration for Disney/Pixar's 'Up'. With a drop of about 1,000m the " Angel Falls" in Southern Venezuela falling from a flat top mountain is the highest waterfall in the world . Pictures of it I'm sure don't do it Justice. It's Located in South America. that's like America, but it's South !

[@songwright]

This movie get the Oscar for Best Animated Feature for 2009 and also for Best Score, written by Michael Giacchino, but I'm sure you noticed how gorgeous the music is.

[@matthewayvar9393]

This is my childhood movie i never understood how emotional this movie was when i was younger but watching it when im older it hits different and im glad you loved it liala

[@nsasupporter7557]

The funny thing is Pixar movies didn’t always use to be so emotional… Toy Story was the very first Pixar movie ever and it wasn’t as emotional as their more recent movies

[@skullandbones1832]

Paradise Falls in Up is inspired by Angel Falls, a real-life landmark in Venezuela that is considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world.

[@aaronburdon221]

yea, that first 10 minutes was a heart punch. Probably my favorite piece of animation ever.

[@william_santiago]

If you haven't watched "Tangled", it's a must see. The movie that ends an era of Disney movies. That was the last time they made a Disney movie in the classic tradition. I would be so bold as to say that it is the best animated movie Disney ever produced.

[@jaytrace1006]

Such a great story! I’m glad you enjoyed it. That’s what cinema is all about.

[@Aceries_]

Oh God, it's like Pavlov's heartbreak. The moment I hear that song, I'm already getting teary lol

[@songwright]

The fact that there aren't any words in some of the opening scenes about their relationship is called the silent film paradigm. It creates an extra bit of connection with the audience because you don't have to hear what they say. You can just see how much they love each other.

[@adamblackwelder5863]

When I saw this movie for the first time, I cried my eyes out 😢 (doesn't happen very often ). So, your reaction was perfectly okay.

[@sathvamp1]

I totally hear you regarding the "doesn't happen very often" thing- I've noticed that about myself ESPECIALLY since I've actually been TRYING to seek out tearjerkers for myself. Some may wonder, "WHY" would I do that on PURPOSE? Well, it did take until about age 30, but with a viewing of "Inside Out", for the first time in my life I actually noticeably felt those feel-good brain endorphins that can come along with tears. But it was ironically frustrating how, once I WANTED to find more movies that would make me cry... it was notoriously difficult to find them, lol. A few YEARS after Inside Out... "Interstellar" and "My Girl" both got me (moderately), then "The Land Before Time," and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" both tied for most intensely tearful reactions from me in my LIFE. Those two were a long 7 months apart from each other. So yeah... quite frustrating lol.

[@ronweber1402]

It has been an honour crying with you all again. Until the next time we watch Up. Cheers! I saw that toilet paper and thought, she's gonna need a bigger roll.

[@whitegoldakarawstahh]

one of my fav tear jerking films ♥️🐺

[@EvilTheOne]

There are so many movies that try to be emotional, although they fail. "Up" is like so many animated movies, where they pull on your heartstrings because they allow us to invest in their characters so deeply, if not for a short time. It doesn't matter how many times I watch this movie, it gets me every time.

[@henrytjernlund]

The opening scene is phenomenal, super sad, but so well done. Thanks for the reaction.

[@jerrykessler2478]

Every time I watch one of your reactions I fall in love with you all over again. Your reactions never fail to touch my heart...

[@sathvamp1]

"Is it normal to cry this early on?" ...for THIS movie, YES! :) If you're feeling really brave sometime, just try "Miracle in Cell No. 7" (in my opinion, preferably the Korean version) ;)

[@CaddyJim]

You said imagine if we seen a floating house on the news no one would believe it. The closest thing is probably balloon boy where a saucer shaped balloon was released & parents claimed their six-year-old boy was in it, it dominated the news headlines

[@evelynmeneses4280]

You crying was literally everyone when we watched this movie😭 and honestly it hit home for me when I watched someone react to this movie. It hit home because my aunt passed away and I felt like my uncle was living just like Carl, i bawled my eyes out due to sadness but also the joy of seeing my uncle love my aunt the way he did holding her hand always💖 they were my everything and in my heart always, he did pass recently so watching this brings me to tears but I’m so grateful to have had all the memories I did with them and will cherish forever💖❤️

Both of you (and everyone) really needs to try the Korean version of "Miracle in Cell No. 7"... just saw THAT one a few nights ago, and man is it in a league of its own...

[@cooperstanley3438]

This movie😭 Beautiful

[@CarlWheatley-wi2cl]

Love the reaction. Some of the scenes are so unexpected and completely knock you sideways. The best for me is towards the end when Carl has been dreading the end of Ellies's Adventure book and he's never wanted to turn the page of Ellie's new adventure because he thinks it's blank and he's failed her. He then finds she's filled the book with the rest of her life with him and her "adventure" and her life have already been fulfilled. Just simple happy pictures. Oh man that hit me like a train when I saw it.

[@Kill0trocity]

I never cried on the first 10 minutes when this came out because I was relatively young and didn’t understand the overall premise of the true love these two had for each other only for the love to be cut short in their old age. Now that I’m older I cry every time and I’m a 24 year old man. This movie just yanks at my heart strings which no other movie does. Truly a masterpiece and a definite go to movie if you need to shed some tears and laugh.

[@nintenmetro]

My family and I grew up with Pixar, but this film in particular is one of my mom’s favorites. She likes to rewatch this particular film every now and then. Paradise Falls is based on the real-life Angel Falls in southeastern Venezuela, which continues to be the tallest uninterrupted waterfall in the world. Ed Asner, the voice behind Carl Fredricksen, has sadly passed away in 2021. Before he passed though, he was able to lend his voice as Carl one last time in the sequel series titled Dug Days.

[@Vektorix28205]

There is an exceptional piece of fan art out there of Russell as an adult, still wearing the Ellie Badge on his lapel, holding a balloon, while Carl, Ellie and Doug look down on him from the afterlife. It GETS the movie so clearly - how much the relationship with Carl - something he didn't have with his own father - shaped him and helped him grow up but never grow old.

[@Worrell057]

Your editing choices are interesting, Liala, especially during that first 5 - 10 minutes, what you included and what you excluded.

[@macaronicism]

"Is it normal to cry this early on?" 😂 I don't think I'd trust anyone who doesn't! I went to see this in the cinema and was completely unprepared, just bawling.

[@kissmy_butt1302]

What gets lost in the beginning of UP and Wall-E is Pixar really brought back the silent film. That whole part of just watching them grow up, finding out she can't have kids, then his excitement they can finally go on the trip and she dies is absolute AMAZING emotion without a word said.

[@MrGadfly772]

This is a very heartfelt movie, and my favorite Pixar film

[@astroboy6515]

That special guest joke made me laugh enough to sub.

[@ShinyAvalon]

The first ten minutes of this movie are INFAMOUS for making people cry.

[@totomomo18]

Great movie. it is such a great and different animation movie. It deals with real life you almost forget it is an animation movie. It is both funny and sad. I was never interested seeing animation movies until I saw this movie. You should also watch Big Hero 6 which is also a great movie like this.

[@LialaNaema]

Such an amazing movie! I’ll keep Big Hero 6 in mind ❤️

[@KennyYoutubeMakesMeFeelGood]

​@@LialaNaema Oh yes Lyla please watch big hero 6 as soon as you can !!!😇

[@clonetrooper3275]

I never really got teary eyed in any way from the beginning of this movie but now since my mom who died of cancer about 3 months ago it now has a very deep meaning to me and now I can’t watch without thinking of my mom

[@juan1189]

This movie along with Lion King got me good as animated movies. It is normal to cry on this one.

[@ransomg9479]

Saw this in the theaters at 10 years old. One of the best I saw as a kid.

[@moviescatsmargs]

In answer to your question, yes it is totally natural to cry this early. Everyone cries or tears up. If you know someone who doesn't, be wary of that individual. They might be dead inside.

[@hermunkulus]

RIP Ed Asner (Carl). He actually reprises his role as Carl in two shorts recorded before he passed: Dug Days and Carl's Date. The former is a miniseries on Disney+ and the latter is played before the movie Elemental.

[@stevenhenry9605]

It was on my 3rd watching of Up that I realized something: Russell says, to get his Assisting the Elderly Badge, "I have to help you cross SOMETHING!" By helping Carl keep his promise to Ellie, he helps Carl cross his heart. ❤

[@JuzTroublez]

I remember when Liala started doing reactions. She was reserved and a bit stiff. Now she's singing to intros. Love to see it. hahaha

[@LialaNaema]

Omg right 😂😂

[@Mcvthree3]

One of the great cinematic love stories

[@RepublicTrooper125]

Back when this movie came out; most of us had no idea that the plot would hit our hearts so hard! As a 14 year old at the time, this film helped me better understand the elderly.

[@Switcharoo82]

I have to tell you that everyone! cries at the start (i even get misty-eyed thinking about it again 🥺) It's hard to pick a favorite part but when he sits reading "the adventure-book".. Gets me every time. And juat saying: you're gorgeous AND! seem to have the greastest personality. You're the whole package so i wouldn't be worried if i was you. You'll find your own partner in your adventure ☺️👍🏽 Thanks fot the reaction 😄👋🏽

[@robertombricen7966]

Whoever have a heart beating in their chest will cry in the first ten minutes. I saw this movie in theaters when first came out and still makes me cry.

[@wirebrushproductions1001]

Another detail. The three dogs flying biplanes identify themselves as "Grey flight", "Grey 1", Grey 2" and "Grey 3". Why is that? At the end, while they are eating ice cream they identify cars "I see a red one", "I see a blue one". Doug says "I see a grey one." Dogs are color-blind.

[@sathvamp1]

I don't use anything... WHEN a movie actually is successful at getting tears out of me, which is rare as it is... but the only TWO movies that have been VERY successful... ended up making tears drip off my nose and make little puddles on the backs of my hands, lol. ...I've actually been TRYING to seek out tearjerkers for myself. Some may wonder, "WHY" would I do that on PURPOSE? Well, it did take until about age 30, but with a viewing of "Inside Out", for the first time in my life I actually noticeably felt those feel-good brain endorphins that can come along with tears.

When he gives Russell the badge at the end

[@ajpreclaro1608]

I read this post once that said Russell represents the child Ellie and Carl would’ve had. I think about that every time I watch this film or a reaction to it, and it makes me cry all over again

[@mxtthiasplayz]

i wonder if the pain of being alone is worth not ever going through the pain of losing someone you spent a life with

I don’t remember this opening of their life together in the theater, just the old man looking through a photo album. And that was, if anything, even more moving.

[@Matthew_KNGP1N]

one of my favorite Disney movies 🥺 but the beginning always makes me cry 😭 I'm so happy u reacted to this

[@joaosoares-rr5mj]

notice that, at the start of the movie, carl cant even go down his own stairs, but at the end, he is doing a lot of phisical exercise, this is because his phisical symptoms were mostly caused due to depression, and once he had a reason to keep going, his mind made sure his boddy could handle it. depression is no joke, it can realy drag someone down

[@gluuuuue]

Something I only finally noticed in your viewing I’d missed all the other times that explains how Carl knew how many balloons he needed and where he got them: there’s a shot at 5:02 showing Carl worked as a balloon seller at the zoo.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

There's a release we get from a good cry. For one reason or another we keep something that needs to be let out bottled up inside. Whether it was for editing purposes or any other we didn't see "that scene" that broke the world's heart. Even so, it doesn't make it any less emotional.
