I know the first 10 minutes of the movie is what makes everyone tear up…..if you have a soul lol.

Just before she gives the Adventure Book to Carl, you can see that she has craft supplies on the nightstand next to her. She wrote this last note to Carl ON her deathbed, because she knew it was the most important final thing she had to say to him.

It's the one scene that hits me hard. Me and my girlfriend found out she can't get pregnant quite early in our relationship, and later found out that because of her degenerative disease combined with mental issues meant that adoption was also not in the cards for us. We really had to find our new direction in life without kids, and that scene really reminds me of that.

I'll never forget watching this movie in the theater. My wife's really good friend from several states over came to visit and they were having a girls night out. Her husband, who I had only met once, was looking to have a guys night out. So the husband and I go eat pizza at the Mellow Mushroom and he goes, man let's go see a movie. I'm all like, hell yeah, there's Terminator Salvation, or the new Star Trek movie. He goes, well the new Pixar movie is out, and both of us being graphic designers thought this would be a good one to catch. Fast forward a bit to the the first 15 minutes of this movie and you have two grown ass men who barely know each other with tears streaming down their faces. Great memory of this movie.

This is the first time I really realized the significance of Russell's story about counting cars with his dad. I always just saw it as foreshadowing for the final scene with Carl, but I never really heard the line "I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most". We spend 5-ish minutes watching "the boring stuff" of Carl and Ellie's marriage and it's the most endearing, sweet, beautiful, heart-wrenching story in the whole movie. Thanks, Russell, for reminding us to appreciate the simple beauty of living.

I also love the contrast of Carl against the bad guy: Charles Muntz renounced all his life for chasing the thing he couldn't acomplish, and he's willing to kill a kid to get it, so at the end he gets dragged down by the memories of the past (literally, by being dragged down by the house) while Carl is letting them go in order to save Russell.

[@MrProg-ey3tl]

I never noticed that before

[@vvanheukelum]

This movie has a special place in my heart. When it came out, my girlfriend and I had just gotten the news that she can't get pregnant, and that it's because of a degenerate disease that will eventually be lethal. So when we sat together and watched Ellie and Carl getting that terrible news hit us hard. But the rest of the movie of them being together, AND Carl being there for kids that aren't his, gave us new goals in live, in terms of being there for other people's kids. We are now proud aunt and uncle to a whole bunch of neices and nephews.

My mom just turned 80 recently, and lost my stepdad two years ago today. This movie gave her a tremendous amount of hope while she was grieving & mourning, especially the last page of Ellie's adventure book. Pixar is the best for stories with heart!

[@aliyahpulido953]

21:50 CinemaTherapy helped me realize the true lesson of the movie, and it's this- The "boring stuff" you do in life with those you love is what you'll remember and treasure more than any grand adventure or huge plan you could do with them. Carl had planned to take Ellie to Paradise Falls their whole lives, and she sadly didn't get to live to go with him. But the whole montage in the first 10 minutes of the movie WERE Ellie's greatest adventure: her life happily and lovingly married to Carl. They worked together at the zoo; Carl was the balloon artist and Ellie was the tropical/exotic bird specialist (which was also a clever setup for the house flying and for Kevin.) They were never particularly wealthy, but they made each other happy and they grew old comfortably together. They never had their own kid, but their jobs at the zoo made the children who visited very happy. Russel (with his round, colorful shape language and chatty nature both just like Ellie's) made him the son Carl and Ellie never had. Carl was resistant to all that because he was going to take the house to the top of Paradise Falls and just... wait to die. He knew he was old and had given up on life. He set out on what he thought was his last mission in life, to bring Ellie/the house to Paradise Falls, and just wait out the rest of his days there. But Russel's crash-landing into Carl's life caused him to let it all go and continue his life. And by the way, Russel says "Well, I gotta help you cross *something*." And he did. He helped Carl "cross his heart" with Ellie, because the house still ended up at the top of the Falls in the end. The Elderly Assistance Badge Russel wanted would be on the empty space in his sash, and the empty spot was right over his heart. And he wanted to earn the badge because of the pinning ceremony, where "all the dads come." He wanted his dad's attention and affection, but his dad's new partner Willis wouldn't let it happen for whatever reason. Being a child of divorce is really tough (I'm speaking from experience) and you still love your parent(s) even if they're not together anymore. Russel finally got that father figure and Carl got fulfillment, both from their time together.

As someone who lost his childhood home to a bank I can tell you most people say "it's just a house" but it still hurts because your memories are in it in some weird way. No house ever felt like a home like that house did.

[@PaulGuy]

I've never had that experience with a house or place I've lived, but I've had it with cars. They've always played a huge part in my life, and the memories that I had centered around them can really mess me up when the car finally goes.

[@gusalain3937]

We sold our family home and initially thought it's just a house and a good investment. But when the time came to hand over the keys, it is more gut-wrenching than I anticipated. Even now I get a little pinch in my heart every time I see the house. And it takes an extra convincing every time I remember it that we've made the right choice. Still, we're moving on and making good memories of the proceeds. I know some of us benefit and some of us take a hit when we lose something. Regardless, hope on hope that better things will come in the future.

[@JanMaynz]

My childhood home is planned to remain in the family, but it's already such a different place from the one I grew up in as needs and technology and even abilities have changed. We traded the entertainment center for a table because my Aunt got us a new TV that was too big for it. We got rid of shelving because it was breaking down and we had other places to put those things. Plants that were thriving in my childhood have been cut down or died due to insufficient care as my Grandparents aged and I didn't think to care for them... or didn't want to. (They raised me) I don't know if the plumcot trees in the front yard are even capable of fruiting anymore... and half of the grapevines are gone... All of the juniper trees have been cut down because they were overgrown and causing issues... and it feels so weird visiting and seeing that they've moved that piece of furniture, or repainted that room into a wildly different color. I'll always have my memories, but it can hurt a little seeing the reminders wiped away.

[@goodeggproductions]

Natalie, I would like to thank you for what you do. I'm a 52 year old man with no children and never married. I live alone and rarely do social things. As such, I've never been one to be outwardly emotional. However, cinema is the one place where my emotions will overcome me. Getting to watch you experience some of these films that have affected me so deeply lets me feel all of those things again. Watching you break down over Up, Serenity, Infinity War, etc. makes me feel more human because I break down all over again with you. So thank you for being an emotional guide.

The way the animators used the color pink towards the end of The Beautifully Sad Montage™ is so genius (and heartbreaking). In the hospital you can see the pink is very soft, very pale; meaning that she's near the end of her life. She's very frail and weakened. Then at the funeral the pink is super saturated; he's saying goodbye. It's the last time they'll be together. The last time he'll feel her presence. And finally when he walks back to his house; the pink is fading away and upwards. She's gone to a better place. The hint of the pink of the side of house like she's caressing her love's cheek one last time. And now i'm crying again :')

First time I watched this movie was a couple years after I lost my wife. We were together since we were 13. Lost her at 24 . She was definitely the extrovert in the relationship so Ellie reminded me so much of her. I think this movie had already been out a few years by the time we decided to watch it once for a family movie night. My poor sister was horrified during the intro because no one in our family knew what this movie was as about, we just thought it would be something light-hearted and fun for my nieces and nephews to watch 😂 I was both laughing at the situation and bawling my eyes out during the entire time. But it was beautiful and I love how they symbolized grief in this movie and learning to let go. Watched it at least a dozen times because it was so healing an gave me this spark of hope that my life didn’t also end. And it’s okay to continue living on. Even though she’s not here, I feel her spirit is still in my heart and I do what I can to keep her memory alive while also still living my life how she would’ve wanted me to 😊 Thank you Natalie for putting yourself through the wringer for us 😅 Loved this reaction!!

Up is literally a perfect movie. A masterpiece from start to finish.

[@kin4386]

The beginning of this movie is masterful. Whether we're children or adults, the emotional impact that beginning montage gives you is timeless. As children it makes us cry, as adults it makes us sob. Because most of us have gone through getting so close to someone just to lose them. It's relatable, it's heart-breaking, but also beautiful. And all without even having a single audible word spoken and with incredible music that alters with the circumstances. It's just perfect.

I love the reaction, too sweet! I can relate, I cried so hard when watching several times and even now a little bit lol! I sobbed when they showed the house ending up right next to the falls! 🩷 such a beautiful movie! I love your explanation at the end as well!! 😄

[@bananasaregood8655]

My fave pixar film ever. Makes me cry everytime and im in my 30s. The bit that ALWAYS makes me cry, apart from the opening, is that final shot of the house on the cliff, he never knew that the house landed exactly where they always planned, and it will be there forever....oh no, here i go again...

[@ellaa_games]

The score for this movie never fails to make me cry! I also love the way they designed the corporate people, they don't even seem human 😐

Greatest Love Story Of All Times. Being with my now wife since I was 16 and I am now 65 gives you a real special feeling when watching this movie. We went through every stage of our lives together. Having someone at your side that long is rare and extremely special. We are now going through the Mid to Minor Health scare stage . Every mammogram that you get a call saying hey we saw something freaks you out then meeting the Doctor and finding out it was nothing is a joyous moment. A lifetime with someone is rare and spectacular and the privilege you have growing and loving each other is just a wonderful way to spend a lifetime!!!!

At 56 years old, the first 10 minutes of this movie still make me tear up. This is one of my beloved films to date.

[@AliceI7764]

Wow! Your thoughts at the end about the transition from one part of your life to another were really nicely done. You spoke with the wisdom of an older woman.

[@CirqueDuFreak2000]

20:00 "but he really is doing that" and that's the point. They were *all* really doing what they said. Muntz was so paranoid that one by one he convinced himself each of them must actually be there for the bird, but most likely few or even none of them actually were lying about their reasons for passing through.

[@aliyahpulido953]

It just goes to show you that being fixated on a "big dream" sometimes isn't worth it, if you've already had the greatest adventure by living a happy life with those you love. Carl learned that lesson and saved Russel instead of just spending the rest of his days alone in his house on top of Paradise Falls. Muntz was fixated on finding the bird his whole life, and killed other people in the process, and died without proving to the rest of the world that Kevin exists.

[@yusufhidayatulloh]

"Why did Charles Muntz still alive?" in the prologue of the movie, Charles was about 23 years old when Carl and Ellie were 8 years old, and the movie took scene about 70 years after, so Charles was about 93 years old and Carl was 78 years old

[@badnationmusic]

Natalie, I've been watching you channel for years. I appreciate your genuine reactions. I am very surprised to realize that you haven't reacted to Demonslayer yet. I saw you genuinely enjoyed ATLA and Kora and while Demonslayer is very different in tone and animation style, the story telling and characters are great and I believe you will genuinely love it as well!

[@jodyodomjr]

Idk why but your empathy touches me through the screen 😭❤.

[@trevorsmith572]

Pixar started off hot wit the sadness in this one🤣

[@user-re8fc8yk8n]

Disney Pixar

[@BobCrabtree-ev4rz]

True in a technical sense @user-re8fc8yk8n,this is a Disney Pixar film cos Disney now owns Pixar...but...Pixar Animation Studios are the sole creative geniuses behind Up...and the Toy Story movies,and Inside Out,and Monsters Inc. and Coco and Wall-E and Brave...and so many other movies and shorts that so many people still think Disney actually made.Sorry,nope.

[@josephscally6270]

My wife of 30 years has stage 4 Pancreatic cancer. The thing is that she is doing pretty well even after 16 months. We are both going on 73 so we have the "who will die first " talk all the time.

[@michaeldavidfigures9842]

I wish I knew what to say. To be doing well with pancreatic cancer after 16 mos. is a miracle itself. She's probably still here because of her love for you.

[@josephscally6270]

@@michaeldavidfigures9842 That is part of it because we are, and have been a very happy couple. I have to say though that we also have excellent doctors that are part of a cancer center that is 5 minutes from our house.

[@markwest9119]

Wow, you're probably the most informed, professional (but still totally genuine) movie reactor on all of KZbin and yet were willing to be so open and transparent with how the beginning of the movie was hitting you. So much respect for that! No wonder your channel is such a success. Thank you!

[@Cameron5043]

We ALL cry at this one, Natalie! Excellent reaction!

[@Obsessed-nv1rh]

Ngl this movie brought tears every time i see it😩

[@christopherhamlet734]

OK this is officially one of my favorite reactions of yours. Thank you so much. Have a nice day❣️🧡🫠🐿️🏅🎼🏡

[@D3SC0N3CT3D]

First 10 minutes of UP are a masterclass in Film and Music storytelling

[@mmxxiii9503]

23:50 When he opens the book, that broke me in tears, the intro too but that scene....just brought memories

[@marvinsarracino116]

Lots of ups and downs in this movie. Haha pun intended!😂😂 Luv the doggos in this movie especially "Squirrel" lol. That Carl and his Elle badge is ❤... special! Thanks for sharing Natalie ❤️💛

[@ELJefeReviews]

The first few minutes are incredibly powerful. My wife and I cried in the theater when we watched this on opening weekend. Now that my wife has passed away, this scene is absolutely gut-wrenching.💔

[@daniellooney8878]

The first few minutes of UP is one the best love stories ever told. With hardly any words spoken.

[@dannysimion]

Gah, just watching this reaction alongside you in this video and I’m already tearing as well. It’s a beautiful film filled with all the good and sad themes of life. But that’s what resonates the most with viewers. It portrays universal themes humans go through. Doug and Kevin are so cute! Squirrel and chocolate lovers lol. From start to finish we see a montage of a great adventure. Your doggo is cute!

[@browneyedgabi6030]

I had heard people talk about the beginning of this movie and I knew it would be crushing and heartbreaking so I decided to bring it to family movie night and me and my parents cried. We had to pause the movie to blow our noses. And even when people react to it and I watch along, it still makes me cry. The rest of the movie is also really wonderful and good and full of just feels, but the beginning is just heart-wrenching.

[@metalraygear2677]

I love this movie so much. such a wondrous examination of the human spirit.

[@herrzimm]

The opening of UP is one of the hardest hitting emotional impacts because we have all been there at one point or another. Those "snap-shot moments" with that sound track is just a gut punch. HOWEVER, the way it opens also completely explains where Karl's "mind-set" is at when the main story kicks off. Why he is so determined to do ONE thing, no matter what... but why he is also somewhat "closed off" to other people around him. And yet, the character arc of Karl is amazing, and to see him showing up and passing on the "Ellie Badge" is so heartwarming that you can't help but feel both uplifted and emotionally impacted at the same time.

[@allanvanuga9196]

I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

[@emilylouise1971]

I know people always talk about the montage and the music that plays but I can never get over how they tell a whole life story in a few minutes without any talking and still make you feel so many emotions, it’s incredible.

[@taylorh7993]

i've watched this movie so many times because it holds a special place within my family, so i've gotten to the point where the beginning doesn't make me cry(still so beautiful tho, it used to get me real bad), but seeing Nat cry got me going all over again lmao, stay strong girl

[@thisguyoby]

ayee Nat x Up , the collab I was waiting for haha

[@2strokinit527]

I havent seen this since my daughter was a toddler and she is in her 20's now. Thanks for helping me to find some memories that I may have forgotten otherwise.

[@HaifaaAmni]

it's so refreshing to see someone crying with me because this movie is so aaaaaaaa. sad and wholesome

[@tailgrowth]

I've been waiting for this one for so long. Beautiful movie.

[@justhereforkicks8208]

I KNEW this one was gonna be a tough watch. I didn’t cry the first time I watched it, but now that I’m older and, I guess I emphasize more, it really does smack you right the face with that emotional damage. Just hearing a few bars of that piano playing is enough to depress the hell out of me, but Up is one of those movies that has it all, happy moments, funny moments, sad moments, an emotional roller coaster for sure. I don’t know if Pixar will ever top this one with just how it resonates with adults and older kids alike. Honestly I’m glad I didn’t see it in the theater, I’ve heard of people absolutely losing it while watching this movie.

[@JayGarche]

5 mins in and we're bawling already, i love this movie
