[...] Pixar did it again, only this time they had me weeping (literally) within the first fifteen minutes. A timeless adventure tale featuring unconventional characters, Up nails every nail on the head while managing to appeal to every age. The visuals and design of the film are stunning, proving once again that you can create a exceptional story-telling and cinematography from scratch. Read my original review. [...]

Cars was produced by the Pixar 4th line for sure.

You know, that’s a totally reasonable response especially when you look at Ratatouille, Wall-E and now UP.

Cars was a turd, it really was.

Maybe I should say weak in comparison. You become accustomed to being handed diamonds and you begin to scoff at silver?

At the end of the day though, geek homage just wasn’t enough for me. The characters were a little flat, in spite of being rendered in 3-d. Instead of making an amazing movie like usual, they made a usual movie that wasn’t quite amazing. I suppose I have to hand back in my fanboy card then?

It wasn’t bad, just wouldn’t put it on the same pedestal I put what I consider to be their best pieces. I walked away without much of a lasting impression.

Incredibles was weak! Get your ass to mars, that movie was… incredible! Not only was it entertaining and funny, the film reeked of homage to some great comics (particularly Watchmen).

I never watched cars – but I never wanted to either. It had no appeal at all. I thought the Incredibles was a weak entry as well.

Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Wall-E and Up however are classics.

Aha! Like I mentioned above, the UP blu–ray comes with a dvd copy too, so you can buy it now! Yay commercialism!

I don’t have a Blu-Ray player yet. WIll hopefully be getting one next month, and based on this review UP will be the first film I purchase. Pixar has never ever let me down!
