I honestly didn't know how Pixar could top their first 9 films (including Cars & Wall E) until seeing "Up." As the first animated film to premier at Cannes, "Up" exceeded my expectations. Once again Pete Docter (Pixar's "Monsters, Inc.") and co-director and writer Bob Peterson deliver characters with depth who inspire imagination, and take us on a journey which ultimately … [Read more...] about Up
