Well, let\u2019s just say it right now – UP IS THE BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR.\u00a0 Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, just hand o<\/span>ver that Oscar gold now.\"Promo_Banner\"<\/p>\n

78 year old Carl Frederickson has always had his head in the clouds.\u00a0 A balloon salesman for his adult life, since a small boy, he and his beloved wife and best friend, Ellie, have shared a magical life but always hoping to share one great adventure together; an adventure they dreamed of long ago when they were 8 years old and inspired by their hero, explorer Charles Muntz (\u201cAdventure is out there!\u201d) – a trip to Paradise Falls buried deep in the heart of Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019s Lost World in the jungles of South America.\u00a0 Sadly, time and luck were not on their side for try as they might, life always seemed to get in the way of their dream until Ellie was no more, leaving Carl lost and alone.\u00a0\u00a0 Facing the possibility of losing the house that he and Ellie shared those oh so many years, Carl has lost all hope, all energy, all desire for living.\u00a0 But how can anyone stay so sad and depressed when an 8 year old Wilderness Explorer shows up at your door, reading from his little handbook about \u201cAssisting the Elderly\u201d\u00a0 so he can earn his last merit badge and be promoted to Senior Wilderness Explorer?\u00a0 This roly poly little boy named Russell from Tribe 54, Sweat Lodge 12, laden with every piece of camping gear you could hope to find at REI or Patagonia, is a ray of sunshine, hope, life – and an exasperation – to Carl, and, he also has dreamt of his own wilderness adventure.\u00a0\u00a0 But Russell also stirs something within Carl, something long buried – Carl\u2019s own boyish sense of adventure and his need to\u00a0<\/span>fulfill Ellie\u2019s dream.\u00a0 So what happens when all this childish inspiration hits Carl?\u00a0 Well, you get \u201cup\u201d and move on – and in Carl\u2019s case that means inflating thousands and thousands of balloons and attaching them to his house so he can soar into the skies on this one last adventure with Ellie and the memories of their life together.\u00a0\u00a0 But what happens when 10,000 feet in the air, you get a knock on your door and open it only to find an 8 year old clinging to your porch for dear life?\"UP<\/p>\n

The most unlikely of travel companions, Carl and Russell soar through the skies towards Paradise Falls, encountering some rather unusual travel conditions along the way, but nothing compared to what they face when they reach the wild jungles of South America.\u00a0 Talking dogs?\u00a0\u00a0 A jewel-toned Ostrich or Emu looking bird with the speed of the Roadrunner named Kevin?\u00a0 A dirigible?\u00a0 A pack of dogs that cook, clean and serve people, not to mention fly airplanes?\u00a0 Charles Muntz?\u00a0\u00a0 Paradise Falls? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Described by supervising animator Scott Clark as \u201cthe most complicated character Pixar has ever created\u201d, from his animated self to mandatory character traits of grouchiness, curmudgeonliness, kindness, softness, sentimentality and being extremely funny, there was only one man for voicing job here – Ed Asner.\u00a0 And I must say, the only other person that I could envision voicing the role of Carl besides Asner would be the man whom the animation most closely resembles – Spencer Tracy (for whom W\/D Pete Docter has great affection and admiration).\u00a0\u00a0 Just the look of Carl breeds a sense of comfort and familiarity.\u00a0 As Carl, Asner is his at his curmudgeonly best.\u00a0 He is a gifted voice actor who brings a full palette of emotion to the character.\u00a0 A grumble or groan speaks volumes when it comes from him. And at the same time, his voice transforms as Carl’s heart melts and the character changes – even with the way he says “Russell” or “Kevin”.\u00a0\u00a0 No stranger to voice work and characterization, \u201cIt\u2019s all acting to me.\u00a0 I started out as a radio actor in high school.\u00a0 I love doing voice work.\u00a0 I love the exacting nature of it and the fact that your voice has to do all of the work.\u00a0 There\u2019s no body to dazzle them with, in my case, overwhelm with.\u00a0 I just love the challenge. \u201c\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Here, as much as Carl is 78 years old on the outside, he is just as much an 8 year old boy on the inside.\u00a0 He has lived life, had a full and happy life, but has also faced sorrow with the loss of his best friend and love of his life, Ellie.\u00a0 But Carl has never given up on the dreams they shared\u00a0 as children.\u00a0 With Asner, you can hear the wistfulness and sorrow in his voice as equally as you can hear the childish glee and joy when in the midst of adventure or the love and pride Carl comes to have for Russell.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You feel the joy in Carl’s heart. You feel the excitement of the little boy emerging from within. You don’t need to even see the character, just listen to Asner’s voice.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cCarl had stopped putting energy into his life.\u00a0 He sits and dreams and relishes the thought of joining Ellie either on the mountaintop by some miracle or by death.\u00a0 It\u2019s the same thing as a living death.\u00a0 And along comes a change in circumstance which forces him to acknowledge this boy and to eventually renounce the pledge he had made earlier to Ellie and life, to renounce that, but to save the boy, to save th birds, save the dog, all of that.\u00a0 He chooses the living as opposed to death.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s a wonderful example to follow for all people.\u201d\u00a0 Asner\u2019s Carl will have every one of you longing for one more hug from or one more adventure with your Grandpa or Dad.\"2009-05-17_160222\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carl\u2019s partner in crime, and thorn in his side shall we say, is a delightful little 8 year old Wilderness Explorer\u00a0 named Russell who is brought to life by newcomer, Jordan Nagai. Russell is simply adorable. You want to pinch his cheeks and wrap your arms around him but it is Jordan\u2019s voicing that drives that feeling.\u00a0 The life he breathes into Russell! I could envision an actual little boy (dare I say one of my adventurous nephews Eddie or Tommy) with determination and spunk and heart each time I not only saw Russell on screen but heard his voice. You connect with him. You want to love him. You want to help him earn his last badge. You want to help him be a great adventurer. You want to be on that adventure with him.\u00a0 And Jordan\u2019s is a story custom made for Disney as casting was for boys ages 9 and 10 and\u00a0 Jordan was only 7 and tagging along with his older brother to the audition.\u00a0 After testing 450 kids, and without auditioning, Jordan\u2019s was the voice the filmmakers wanted.\u00a0 As producer Jonas Rivera puts it, \u201che started talking about his judo class, and Bob Peterson and I just looked at each other and said, \u2018There\u2019s Russell\u2019.\u201d\u00a0 For Docter, \u201cone of the things that attracted us to Jordan was when he just talked about nothing. . .he would just meander and the way he spoke was so funn<\/span>y.\u201d\u00a0 It was this meandering charm that even influenced the design and story of Russell.\"2009-05-17_160344\"<\/p>\n

Call it serendipity or life at its best, but a real casting coup comes in the form of Christopher Plummer.\u00a0 Probably best known for his performance as Captain Von Trapp in one of the greatest films, let alone family films, of all time, \u201cThe Sound of Music\u201d, as the voice of Muntz, Plummer adds another feather to his cap with UP, which I predict will join \u201cThe Sound of Music\u201d in the annals of film history. Like Asner, Plummer got his start in radio\u00a0 and loves doing animated films because \u201cit\u2019s great fun to play zany characters..\u201d\u00a0 A self-described \u201chuge fan of Pixar stuff\u201d is one of the reasons Plummer wanted to become involved in UP.\u00a0 Plus \u201cMuntz isn\u2019t all that bad.\u00a0 He\u2019s got a great personality.\u201d\u00a0 And with Plummer\u2019s voicing, he does.\u00a0<\/span>\"2009-05-17_160330\"<\/p>\n

John Ratzenberger makes it 10 for 10 with Pixar as he joins the cast this go round as Construction Foreman Tom.\u00a0 With his own inimitable style, Ratzenberger is a welcome addition to any project and as Foreman Tom is pivotal to the development of Carl and the storyline.\u00a0 Despite only a few minutes of screen time, Ratzenberger brings excitement and a bit of \u201cCliff Clavin\u201d to Tom that everyone will enjoy.<\/span>\"2009-05-17_160317\"<\/p>\n

So many of the best story ideas come from one\u2019s own life experiences and UP is no different.\u00a0\u00a0 As a child, writer\/director Pete Docter grew up in Minnesota.\u00a0 \u201cThere was a kind of creek area.\u00a0 I remember going back there and pretending I was stomping through the jungle and snakes.\u00a0 I shot a couple of Super 8 movies with my friends back there and pretended it was the wilds of South America.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It may have taken him a few years, but with UP, Docter has brought those childhood fantasies to life in the forms of Carl and Russell.\u00a0<\/span>\"2009-05-17_160156\"<\/p>\n

Docter\u2019s creative process with writing\/directing partner Bob Peterson is truly one of collaboration.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to Docter, \u201cWe started by talking and making lists and drawing.\u00a0 One of the first key images that came out was this drawing I\u2019d done of this super grouchy hexi-colored and green, this sour guy, with this really wrinkly expression on his face holding these happy fun colorful balloons.\u00a0 Something about the contrast of those two things made us laugh and feel as though there was some potential there.\u00a0 So that\u2019s the genesis of the idea.\u201d\u00a0 As for the beautiful visuals, \u201cwe were also experimenting with a lot of escape kind of ideas, and this floating house was just very poetic and interesting and appealing.\u00a0 So we put the grouchy guy in the floating house with balloons and just\u00a0<\/span>kind of answering the questions of where he was going and where\u2019s he coming from and why.\u00a0 That\u2019s what led to the story.\u201d\"UP<\/p>\n

The animation, while extremely detailed and advanced, has a very simplistic essence and innocence that elevates the emotional levels of the film. Key is the use of color, particularly in the balloons, and which is carried over into Kevin. For the balloon sequences, there are actually over 10,000 individual balloons created and strung above the house and over 20,000 balloons when the house is soaring through the air. But the color is so vibrant, so saturated, so well defined and chosen that every time the balloons appear on screen, you have to smile.\u00a0 Just one look lifts your heart, lifts your mood.\u00a0 The color palette and magical feeling follows through into our feathered friend Kevin.\u00a0 In addition to the colors and textures, for the first time Pixar created feathers with Kevin\u2019s detail intricately exacting and shimmeringly magical.<\/p>\n

As you watch, take note of Ellie\u2019s signature color – magenta.\u00a0 Not your typical color selection as a character indicator but, according to Docter, \u201cWe just felt it represented her.\u00a0 It was a real active kind of feel, yet no so hyper.\u00a0 There was a sense of richness.\u00a0 All this is very subjective, of course, but it just felt very mature in a way.\u00a0 I think just giving a little bit of coolness to it made it a little more regal or something and yet still very vibrant and energetic.\u00a0 And more than just magenta, \u201cwe tried to use saturation for her so that when she\u2019s around we really amp the greens and the reds and everything.\u00a0 And then when she passes away, everything desaturates and it becomes browns and grays.\u00a0 We used the logic [within the story] to explain that it\u2019s years later now as we see Carl.\u00a0 But it\u2019s also just emotionally correct.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Words cannot describe the standard of technical achievement and excellence that Pixar achieves with UP.\u00a0 Shooting in Real D-3D for the first time ever, Pixar really steps it up, crossing into a new level of excellence, raising and bar,\u00a0 with attention to detail and texturization – each fiber of fabric, each individual feather, brush strokes on canvas – breathtaking and mind boggling \u201chow\u2019d they do that\u2019.\u00a0 This one facet alone sets the tone of each character.\u00a0 Take a look at Carl and his ties, his shirt, his suit – A cotton button down shirt that looks like classic Brooks Brothers; a wool tweed suit; bulky, knobby fabricked cotton ties that were fashionable in the late 50’s and 60’s. Those details not only speak volumes about Carl, but are all tactile sensations that the Pixar magicians created with detailed visual textures.\u00a0 And how about Russell and his patches?\u00a0 The intricacy of each patch and the embroidered stitching that creates each one; again, texturization that causes you to run your fingers over each patch and just by the tactile sense of the s<\/span>titching, you feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, all which is achieved through visualization.\u00a0 Then there’s a whole other level with the creation of Kevin. Each feather with its exacting and individualized intricacies – the detail never ceases to amaze me; even the house, right down to the rust on the spout of the garden hose is all dimensionally and visually tactile.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\"UP<\/p>\n

As if shooting for the first time in 3D wasn\u2019t enough of a challenge, an endeavor of this nature required multiple Directors of Photography, one for\u00a0 for camera and one for lighting and numerous computer magicians.\u00a0 According to producer Jonas Rivera, \u201cIt was a tall order.\u00a0 One of the things that UP presented for us was a new technical hurdle.\u00a0 In UP there was really nothing new in the content. . .This film was more about caricature.\u00a0 That became our real challenge.. .For UP, this is about a house that floats away with 20,000 balloons so it required a certain amount of whimsy and caricature.\u00a0 The challenge for our computer scientists was, how do you distill something down to its essence?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 It is the answer to this question that lends to the clean, sharp distinctive animation of UP.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201c Pete [Docter] brought in like a Herschfeld drawing of Lucille Ball and held it next to a photo of Lucille Ball and said, \u2018How come the drawing looks more like Lucille Ball than this photo of her?\u2019\u00a0 That\u2019s the artistic question.\u00a0 You can\u2019t write a program to do that in the computer.\u00a0 That\u2019s very hard to do but that\u2019s the look we wanted.\u00a0 So you will notice in UP the shape language is a little more simplified.\u00a0 The color palettes are a little bolder.\u00a0 The surface textures, we called it \u201csimplexity\u201d, is the name we coined for it.\u00a0 It\u2019s just as hard if not harder to get that in the computer.\u00a0 Pete didn\u2019t want the clock to work perfectly to the laws of physics.\u00a0 He wanted it to be more like a Hank Ketchum drawing of Dennis the Menace where it\u2019s just one fold in a jacket or so forth.\u00a0 So that became a real technical challenge.\u00a0 Throwing 3D on top of that was just another level.\u00a0 We just had to manage all those things so that one didn\u2019t get too far out.\u00a0 With 3D we wanted it to be subdued and subtle. . .We want them [audience] to say they\u2019re just watching a movie or experiencing the story.\u00a0 It happens to be in 3D and that might make it more immersive.\u00a0 It was a real balancing act for Pete and our crew and for me to make all that stuff.\u00a0 We hope we did it.\u00a0 We hope we used all the tools appropriately.\u201d\u00a0 No worries, Jonas.\u00a0 You used everything more than appropriately.<\/span>\"UP<\/p>\n

And if the technical aspects weren\u2019t challenging enough, Docter wanted authenticity as a basis for the adventures which allowed the Pixar design team to have an adventure of their own – a trip to the jungles of South America to the Tepui Mountains, a series of 115 table top mesas high above the clouds where Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana intersect. Actually climbing Mount Roraima and the moving onto Matawi Tepui (also known as \u201cplace of the dead) and ultimately, traversing the slippery rocks and mists of Angel Falls in Venezuela, the highest waterfall in the world dropping 3,212 feet from the summit of Auyantepui, the team included in the film much of the imagery and vegetation they found\u00a0 – Bonnetia trees, black rocks with pink flowers \u201cgrowing\u201d out of them, Stegolepis plants and of course, Angel Falls – all captured in animation to its most breathtaking beauty.<\/p>\n

A full and complete package with every component sheer perfection, UP is the embodiment of the best ideals of Walt Disney and Pixar.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the cleverist and most inventive stories to come around in a long time, the story alone is so pure and so imaginative, as to grab anyone’s attention and lock it in from the opening frame.\u00a0 The emotion UP evokes is genuine. From the opening dreams of adventure of two children, to their life together (which by the way is the most effective and compact telling of a backstory I have ever seen) and then the dreams of another boy who helps the boy inside a 78 year old man fulfill his dreams and adventures – priceless.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"UP
\nYou laugh, you laugh some more, you keep laughing, and then you even get a few tears in your eye and a tug on your heartstrings, but there is not a moment in this film where there\u2019s not a smile on your face or in your heart, as you soar through the skies UP on an adventure with Russell and Carl, and all the while wishing for your very own.\u00a0 Adventure, family, daydreams, fun and love – UP is a can’t miss, must see, 24 kt. Oscar gold film.<\/p>\n
