Yay, finally! I’ve waited for so long to see this movie and FINALLY, my wish was granted. Hooray! I bet you wanna know about it, don’t you? That is, if you managed to stay this long without watching it, which I doubt. But anyway, I am so excited I’ve seen this movie that I can’t stop myself from telling you about it.

So, here it goes: Carl and Ellie Fredericksen have know each other since…well, forever. They’ve been united by their love for adventure and been in love since the day they met. They were perfect for each other, they had a full life with joys and troubles and everything…Sadly, Ellie passes away (what is it with Disney stories: someone always has to pass away at the beginning of the movie so you can almost cry). Carl is left alone, determined to grant his wife’s lifelong wish: that of visiting Paradise Falls, in South America. After the community decides it is time for him to move to a retirement home, the 78 year old man considers a more original plan of spending his retirement: He inflates thousands of helium balloons and uses them to ummm…lift up his house and fly. I never said this was a true story . Unfortunately for him, he ends up with Russell, a boy scout trying to win his last badge for “Assisting the Elderly” that got on to his porch before the whole house started flying. And as you can imagine, a whole adventure starts.

After landing in South America, they find ‘Kevin’ a beautiful bird (that is actually a female) which Russell wants to adopt. But it’s not as simple as it sounds. A great explorer, himself hunting for Kevin since…forever, has established himself in Paradise Falls for years, while gathering a whole army of um, err, talking dogs. Since Charles Munz (the explorer I was telling you about) finds the two as intruders who want to capture ‘his’ bird, a whole chasing situation takes place, endng, as you might expect with the good guys winning over the bad guy, blah blah.

The animation in this movie is absolutely gorgeous. All textures, colours are drawn beautifully, which adds a whole lot of magic to the movie. In my opinion, the script could be a little bit better, but  overall the story and characters and all are fantastic. Really, really recommending it

Cheers!
