Carl Fredricksen is 78-years-old, lonely and about to be forced from his home to make way for an office building but he has other plans. One morning he surprises everyone by tying so many balloons to his home that it rises in the air and takes off. He discovers Russell, an 8-year-old wilderness scout, is along for the ride but is unable to land before they have gone too far. They make an unlikely pair as they bond while trying to get to Carl’s destination – a cliff overlooking an isolated waterfall in South America. Their delightful adventures include talking dogs, a lost explorer and discovering a new species of bird. The story of Carl’s life is shown in a fifteen minute montage at the beginning of the film, it is touching and beautiful - have tissue ready. The magic of the film is that it can go from a touching opening sequence to action, adventure and a lot of comedy and make it all work brilliantly. Everything about this film is perfect. The lastest Disney Pixar animated film is the best film of the year so far. Everyone will love this movie, take the kids, the grandparents and the neighbors.
