Up Watch A Long

I've been trying to gain the courage to watch your reaction to this one because while it is definitely one of Pixar's best ever films, I have only been able to watch it once back in 2009 when it was in theaters. Even back then when I was 17 and hadn't experienced much of life, the beginning broke me. I haven't ever put myself through watching it again until now 17 years later. I cried hard right along with you guys and I really enjoyed seeing your reaction. Thanks for sharing it! Can't wait for the next thing.

Watch the cute Dug Days on Disney Plus. They are short & sweet episodes of Dug & Carl.

Good reaction guys. Next reaction? How about THE INCREDIBLES :)

The opening of Up is a masterpiece in cinematic storytelling. Visuals, music, and no dialogue, which manages to show an entire lifetime. Incredible. And the rest of the film is a delight too. The Incredibles is the only other Pixar film I can think of where the main villain dies on-screen

I also feel like this film is both the most I cry and the funniest of Pixar’s films. I don’t know what it is but that Russel joke at the beginning is so funny and Kevin is a delight

Must stay for the credits

Muntz is PURE EVIL

As if we needed any more proof that there aren’t robots employed with pReview’d, cuz robots can’t produce the river of tears happening lately. *MORE!!! (Insert Kylo Ren meme)

Guys! You watched Up! I don't think I've been able to watch that movie since the first time I watched it!

Saw this in the theater as a teenager, and the older I get the more this movie makes me tear up

Can't wait for Ratatouille. It's my favourite Pixar film for many obvious and personal reasons. Definitely my most rewatched.

Actually haven't seen Up since it ran in cinemas. I think this was the first time I cried in the cinema and I rarely do in public when aware of people around me. Got better about that now. That start hit me sideways. And how dare you Michael Giaccino... It hits even more now... Totally forgot how MUCH visual comedy there was in this. "How is this a kids film?" That's the trick. It isn't. It's just a film. One that happens to be animated, one that happens to be mostly funny with plenty of action that kids will enjoy. But as so many Pixar films, it's a deep and personal story about people and the experience of life.

Up is one of Pixar's finest and an emotional journey that catches everyone off guard the first time they watch it. I cannot think of many more animated films that are as emotionally mature as this one. I do think Wall-E is probably Pixar's best outing and the perfect animated film, but this is up there, no pun intended.

Is Mando and Grogu in the pipe?

I wasn’t a kid when this came out. I was in my 20s, but still naive enough to make my late mother watch this without realizing the trauma I was inflicting. I laughed and was even a little frustrated that she couldn’t enjoy such a great film. Now I feel so sad just remembering how the beginning hit her. Also, I very rarely do the full watch-alongs. It’s normally just too hard and takes too much time. I had to do it for this one though. Can’t wait for Ratatouille. And if you guys haven’t seen it, I’d also recommend a “Mr. Holland’s Opus” reaction for another great “life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans” film.

FIRST — HUGS SECOND — UM RATATOUILLE FOR ADAM WHICH WILL BE VERY INTERESTING YES PLEASE And honestly? Watching this movie again is a good thing. I actually haven’t sat though it at full attention since seeing it in the theater. I’ve “seen” it with all three of my kids multiple times, but I haven’t SEEN it again until I plopped it on at midnight after HOTD with y’all. There is a lot here at a more intricate second real viewing! A lot of shit I have never noticed and that speaks to Pixar’s master storytelling! - Ellie worked in the South America bird sanctuary at their zoo, and a giant South American bird was the catalyst for the whole second half of the movie. - they wanted children, weren’t able to have them, and here comes Russell — a kid who DEFINITELY embodies Ellie’s adventurous, chaotic, and CHATTY nature, which are the very things Carl adored from the start; he just couldn’t see that he had found the child/grandchild they’d never had until he did. - Russell saw a turtle in the rock formations; Ellie saw a turtle in the clouds - the rocketeer similarity callout was a good one; that was the first thought I had during that sequence, especially since Carl was a child during that same time period. There are a lot more observations I made (Russell slowly scooting down the ramp on a chair mirroring Carl’s stair elevator), which I never noticed before! Guys, they were sunburned after that first day! Tips of their ears and tops of their noses and their cheeks! Here’s the thing — as someone who has been through a lot of grief and whose eldest has been through it, and whose kids spend at least two days a year at a cemetery because of family grief — it’s something a lot of kids go through. Yes, most kids who are privileged enough to see this movie will not understand or have experienced grief in any meaningful way. But many of them will. This film is a kids’ movie the same way all of the best kids’ shows and films are (like Bluey) — it has things for all levels of the audience. No matter the age or experience. It teaches empathy and understanding of grief for kids who haven’t experienced it, and it gives a mirror and compassion for those who have. It also gives that to the adult audience. Everyone is seen and everyone can learn how to see others. As someone who has raised a kid all the way to adulthood and is also dealing with two in the elementary school set — this is definitely still a kids’ movie. It has all the right elements for both fun AND for teaching. It’s great.

No one is immune to the feelings Up evokes, no one.

while there isn't a true sequel they did make some cute little Doug shorts of him just kinda doin dog things and then the last short is Doug helping Carl get ready for a date because he is finally letting himself love again. its cute

This is right next to Paddington...the meme that went around at the time was the first 10 minutes of Up was a better love story than the whole of Twilight. also, there is a sequel, it's called the series Doug

So Adam to answer your question, the waterfall in the movie is based off the real waterfall Angel Falls, in Venezuela the world's tallest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 metres (3,212 ft).
