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.

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.

[@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.

[@aliyahpulido953]

@@ultimaxkom8728 Yes, I've seen the theory that after Carl went home to pack for Shady Oaks Retirement Home, that he didn't actually wake up the next morning. The theory says he actually passed away in his sleep and that Russel, Kevin, and Dug were all an out-of-body experience or vision/dream of some sort to help him make peace with himself on his final night. Russel especially represents the child he and Ellie were never able to have, and the theory says he lived out that experience in his mind because he didn't get to before dying. As dark and sad as this sounds, this really does happen in real life. Also, RIP Ed Asner, the voice actor who portrayed Carl. He passed away not too long before the short "Carl's Date" released alongside "Elemental." That was his last voice performance and the short is dedicated to him.

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 :')

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.

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.

A lot of reaction videos I usually skip the intro but your catchphrase “grab a drink grab a snack and let’s get into the movie” just sounds so friendly and wholesome so I make a point to watch your intros as well as the reaction itself. It’s so wholesome and comforting.

[@vickiekezele8520]

this movie came out right after my mom died. I still can't watch this without crying. My dad missed her so much.

Heya, Natalie. I have a suggestion for a series that will completely blow you away. Have you ever heard of _Bluey?_ It's an Australian animated "children's show" that is more for adults than it is for the kids. It's about a family of blue heeler dogs (named the Heelers, of course; Chilli [mother], Bandit [father], Bluey [sister, 6], and Bingo [sister, 4]) and their daily adventures. It's hilarious and smart and (at times) surprisingly deep, and even heartbreaking. It's extremely good from the get-go, but it just keeps getting better as it goes along. It shows how the parents play with their kids (as well as how to deal with quite a few very serious issues during childhood through adulthood and into old age), but that is underselling just how phenomenal the show is. "Play" is an incredibly important part of childhood, and _Bluey_ showcases how children use it to learn about the world around them and to interact with friends and loved ones (including parents), and it uses the situations in the show to teach lessons in ways that adults and kids alike can learn from. It's not like the hokey lessons from the old 90s cartoons, but more "here're a number of situations that often happen, why they often occur, and some ways on how to deal with them." I'm a huge fan of _Avatar: The Last Airbender,_ and this show shares a LOT of the reasons why A:TLA was so fantastic, including some very heavy subject matter, such as losing loved ones, helping survivors of broken families, dealing with disabilities, and teaching children about loss, all the while hitting just the right notes with situational humor. It also shares the thought and care that go into each episode, along with some spectacular artwork and an absolutely thumping soundtrack. Each episode is only about 7 minutes, which is just mind-blowing. The fact that they can cram so much plot and action and humor into 7 minute segments without anything feeling rushed or slapdash still surprises me to this day. I hope you give it a try. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

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!!!!

[@davidhoward6254]

There are a couple of interesting 'foreshadows' and 'throwbacks' related to this movie. When Charles Muntz tells his dog chef to 'surprise me', it's a throwback to the Pixar movie right before this one, "Ratatouille" (Anton Ego says this to Remy at the very end of the movie). Speaking of Ratatouille, during the sequence when Remy is trying to get out of the sewer and finds himself in Paris near Gusteau's restaurant, there's a shadow of a dog that barks at him...some say the dog looks an awful lot like Dug, but you'll have to decide that for yourself. In any case, great, heartfelt review!

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

Are you sure that wasn't just Disney recycling elements from one movie to another? .... It happens a lot more than people realize. 😒

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

Speaking of foreshadowing, what about the shape of the real estate Developer's face matching the shape of the face of the dog "Alpha". 🐺

[@davidhoward6254]

@@TheNoiseySpectator I don't think it was a repurpose like Mowgli and Christopher Robin's walks through the woods (a classic, easy to spot recycle). The dog barking in Ratatouille was literally only shown in shadow for all of 2 seconds, but the shadow outline strongly resembles Dug...

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!

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.

[@marcmcclain]

One of the most underrated jokes that fly by (pun not intended) is when the dogs are flying and doing their "check-in". They are mimicing the Star Wars "red leader checking in, yellow leader checking in" lines but they all say "grey leader" etc. because the dogs are all color blind.

Fun little detail about this movie: Doug, as a golden retriever, is usually good for hunting. The rest of the breeds there are better suited for being guard dogs.

[@madshansen1375]

This, Forrest Gump and Man on Fire are my all time favourites. I vividly remember colours and smells from the exact day(s) I saw these movies. What seemed like regular, insignificant days soon became some of the most fondly formative days of my teens. They hold such a special place in my heart.

[@bobunyun]

It's funny, everyone talks about how emotional the opening of Up is, but the bit that had me tearing up was where he finally finds the pictures in Ellie's book. The opening was all about him looking for the adventure he never had and missing the one he was already on. Ellie got that and the way it was done was beautiful

This was the first movie I brought my 4 year old to. I was not expecting the sadness in the first act. My daughter had never seen me cry. I had to turn my face away and silently weep. My mother had died the same year my daughter was born. It was a long goodbye, just like in the movie.

[@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.
