I heard it was decent as well. My dad actually saw it and said it was "cute". Good for younger kids or to go see with your girlfriend. I personally wouldn't want to go see it. It's not really my type of movie.

I assume Epic Movie is your kind of movie? I mean, if you're kind of movie is the kind of movie that's not really good, it must be the kind of movie that's really bad.

I am not saying that it isn't very good. I am sure it's quite well made. I am not just into the childish disney-type movies. If you think that it's either Disney or Epic Movie, then you are sadly mistaken. There are far more genres than that.

Oh god. I hope you didn't just call Pixar Disney instead of Pixar.
I also commend you on making the assumption that an animated movie that does not swear in excess is inherently a child's film. A child's film is a film that talks down the viewer, treating them as though they can not understand anything compliated. People like you are the reason that films like Epic Movie continue recieving funding. | |
You are making the assumption that I watch things like epic movie, which is incorrect. Up is a children's movie, get over it. It doesn't mean you can't appreciate it.

No, it is not a children's movie. Look at Pixar's record on sites like Rotten Tomatoes. Over the past decade, Pixar has had a great number of their films that have also been the highest-rated films of the year, all of them animation. A film without violence and swearing does not make a child's film, and it's that mentality that also leads to terrible, terrible films continuing to get funding, regardless of whether or not you actually watch things like Epic Movie. It's simply that ignorant, foolish line-of-thought that precedes it.

I think it's a fairly universal understanding as to what movie is made more for an audience of children and what isn't.

You were swapping in your understanding of what a children's show is, which is quite terrible and uninformed I might add, for a universal understanding. That's adorable. | |
Oh? This movie is obviously tailored for an audience of children. The plot, the characters, and the storyline are "cute". I'm not saying it isn't enjoyable to watch by any means. By children I don't mean toddlers either. Don't get that wrong. The movie is for everyone, as the rating probably suggests (G? PG?), but it's the kids that are more likely to enjoy it.

Up is not a childrens movie. It is a universally appreciated movie.
Just because children can watch it and enjoy it doesnt mean it was made for children, the movie was so emotionally impactful in the first 20 minutes alone that to claim it is a childrens movie is a slap in the face to the amazing writing and story about human dreams, the inability to have children and how quickly life goes by when you pretend that it is in the same genre as the jonas brothers in 3D. Pixar movies have always been entire family movies, you've become confused, family movies doesnt mean its going to cater to children, it means that it has dimensions that appeal to people of all ages. | |
Like I said many times, yes everyone can easily appreciate it. The idea that children will appreciate it alot more is also true, though. That is why I think it's an overall childrens movie.

About all they could relate to are fantastic beliefs about their future. They don't have conceptions about regretting those things never coming true. See the movie, though given this overall lack of knowledge, you probably will miss those parts and only pay attention to, "There's a guy floating in the air with balloons." | |
Up's a great movie. Pixar as always does a great job with storytelling.
And Fugsnarf? Up is a children's movie, get over it. You are mistaking media with content. All cartoons are not for children, and all stories are not topical to adults. | |
I like how Fugsnarf has not even seen the movie yet keeps insisting and talking like he's watched it 10 times and analyzed its every detail.

Well, so much for going in fresh. Whoops. I didn't catch that, because I don't actually bother to read Masterdan's comments unless someone else brings them up. Snip it out of yours, please, lest I have to delete the whole thing. | |
Fugsnarf, It's a family movie, Not neccessarily for children.

Colby Curtin, a 10-year-old with a rare form of cancer, was staying alive for one thing - a movie.
Colby had been diagnosed with vascular cancer about three years ago, said her mother, Lisa Curtin, and at the beginning of this month it became apparent that she would die soon and was too ill to be moved to a theater to see the film. After a family friend made frantic calls to Pixar to help grant Colby her dying wish, Pixar came to the rescue. The company flew an employee with a DVD of Up, which is only in theaters, to the Curtins' Huntington Beach home on June 10 for a private viewing of the movie. Colby died about seven hours after seeing the film. [source] | |
