Here Snipe, Clap Clap Clap...

Finally this movie is out in theatres, after much promotion and anticipation from most of my friends as the next great pixar movie that disney put out. Agreed, this is the best animated movie i have seen since Bolt; there was only one thing that cast me away from it. A very sad movie, not the kind of sad i would have thought either; a journey gone wrong and the duo must find they're way home, not that at all. A very upsetting opening showing a young Carl Fredrickson falling in love with Ellie, his female counterpart who had the same taste as him for adventure. Knowing she is not in the main plot, something bad has to happen as the years go by and they spend time together; leading to the current times of Mr. Fredrickson; all alone. Joining him on his trip he vowed (crossed his heart) to make to Pleasant falls was little russel, a wilderness scout trying to earn his "helping the elderly" badge and found himself on the old man's porch as it lifted from the ground on thousands of helium filled balloons. Dont get the wrong impression that the film is purely sad, im just not into those type of movies. When the funny parts kicked in, they really hit hard to the entire audience on all levels; kids and older viewers too. The constant sturggles and battles faced in this movie remind me the most of the film "The Incredibles", being the antagonist was someone Mr. Fredrickson much looked up to and actually was his reason for craving adventure as a younger man and child. in that sense, the script was flipped between the two opposing forces, but the rivalry found its way onto the screen and didn't disappoint. i reccomend seeing it in 3D, some parts wouldent make sense with the 2D format, but either way you see the film, it'll be an "Adventure".
