Pixar makes a steady film that looses some steam

Ehh, well, it's better than Wall-E as a whole. The transition from our world to a realm of fiction is far smoother than in the aforementioned film, as it comes naturally and fluidly. The viewer hardly notices a transition at all when our main character goes up into the air. If anything this movie works as solid proof of why Pixar should only make short films, as the initial twenty minutes outdo the entire last hour of this movie. They're charming, original and most certainly very touching. Then after that it becomes your average fun to watch romp in the jungle with funny sidekicks and bizarre events. It isn't a bad film at this point but the charm is simply gone, only to return in brief dialogue or individual shots here and there. It's a shame that after all these years the company still struggles to keep the strings in their hands after the adorable set-up for the story. Still, as I've said, it is enjoyable even at it's worst. The voice acting is terrific and the annoying little kid is actually never that annoying. Up looses some of it's charm after an eventful and beautiful opening, but you know I don't think most people will be that shocked by it or even think of it as an incident too bad.
