Carl Fredrickson, a retired balloon salesman, is part rascal, part dreamer who is ready for his last chance at high-flying excitement. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, Carl sets off to the lost world of his childhood dreams. Unbeknownst to Carl, Russell, an overeager 8-year old Wildnerness Explorer who has never ventured beyond his backyard, is in the wrong place at the wrong time -- Carl's front porch! The world's most unlikely duo reach new heights and meets fantastic friends like Dug, a dog with a special collar that allows him to speak, and Kevin, the rare 13-foot tall flightless bird. Stuck together in the wilds of the jungle, Carl realizes that sometimes life's biggest adventures aren't the ones you set out for. Review: A 3D presentation that is nothing less than perfect! - I was very happy to learn that Disney had decided to re-release UP for Blu-ray as a 3D presentation. I have always had a soft spot for this wonderfully charming, touching adventure story that proves once again that nobody makes animated features quite like Pixar. In one of the most poignant animated sequences ever filmed, we learn the story of a young boy named Carl (Ed Asner) who dreams of embarking on great adventures. This young boy stumbles upon the love of his life, Ellie (Elizabeth Docter), who becomes his fellow "adventurer." The two marry and grow old together, putting money away in hopes of being able to visit Paradise Falls, a place that Carl swore he would one day bring Ellie to visit. Unfortunately, that dream is never realized, as Ellie eventually passes away. Now, a grumpy old man, Carl finds that he is about to lose his home to a commercial construction company. In a last-ditch effort to fulfill his promise to Ellie, Carl uses balloons to lift his home and journey to South America. UP excels in both story and animation. This beautifully crisp HD transfer brings out all the wonderful textures within the artistry accented with exuberant and stirring colors. None of the deep, well saturated coloration seems to be hindered by active shutter eyewear. Black levels are exceptional. Chalk this up as another outstanding, flawless rendering. I wasn't quite certain if UP was originally conceived for or later up-converted to 3D. Something seemed rather odd to me when watching the Blu-ray -- it looked too damn good to be a simple up-conversion, particularly for the fact that there was quite a bit of protrusion. Upon doing some research, I was delighted to find that UP was actually Pixar's very first film to be presented in the newly introduced 3D format. There is a predominant amount of depth to be found here which gives a keen sense of giving proper size to foreground and background objects. In the beginning of the film, there is a clever shot of Carl sliding down his electric stairlift. Take a look at the contrast between the wall and the front railing. It really provides a realistic sense of spacing. Many of the best 3D moments of the film involve Carl's home flying over a city street or just gliding amongst the clouds. Those shots provide exceptional view master-like moments that greatly illustrate size amidst various objects. As I recently mentioned, the one aspect of watching UP that convinced me that this wasn't a simple up-conversion was the amount of objects that protruded from the screen. As we watch Ellie lying on her back next to Carl describing cloud formations, her fingers seem to extend beyond the borders of the screen. There are many similar moments where Carl's thick black-rimmed glasses, nose and chin poke outward. Even the snouts of dogs find themselves popping forward. Now mind you, I wouldn't consider these real "In Yo' Face" moments, but the jettisons are so tastefully done, that one can't help but still be admired by it all. Disney's 5.1 DTS-HD MA is a real pleasure to listen to, particularly for Michael Giachinno's wonderfully soothing score with touches of waltzes and anthems which immerses and seemingly lifts the viewer as if attached to a string of balloons. I rarely hear a score for an animated film that perfectly captures the adventure on-screen than this one. Of course, the rear channels do an exceptional job of relaying all the surrounding scenic and weather elements. There is a good amount of rumbling LFE response to be found here whether it be during a thunderstorm or when Carl's home is flying too close to the ground. Clean, clear and crisp are three words that come to mind when describing how well the sound is translated to the viewer. A exceptional HD experience in both picture and sound. UP arrives as a 4-disc combo pack that includes 3D/2D Blu-ray+2D Blu-ray Bonus Features+DVD+Digital Copy. It even looks as if all the extra features of the original Blu-ray release have been ported over. There were no trailers included on the 3D disc. The Blu-ray case is sleeved in lenticular packaging. UP is yet another masterpiece from the Pixar animation team. In 2009 it was awarded two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Score. If you have not had the opportunity to see this film in 3D, it is definitely time to take a second look. UP looks even more uplifting than ever before thanks to a 3D presentation that is nothing less than perfect. Review: Wonderful Movie, Good Package, Fair Price - With the advent of the 'Digital Copy', I can now load the movie into my ipod touch, and take it with me. This takes the step of ripping the original DVD to back up my copy for personal use out of the equation, and I don't have to feel like I'm doing something illegal. (Backing up something you have paid for, and want to last, is only prudent) This review is twofold, in that I personally really enjoyed this film. Also I want to commend desertcart for resolving an issue, literally within a minute of my complaint. First: This film is both going to tug at your heart strings, as the depth of the film reaches into the universal inevitability that we all are going to die. That we all love someone who is going to pass, and that it is a painful process. It will bring tears to your eyes. At the same time, the promise of new, different, and rewarding relationships are possible throughout life, and that all we need do, is be open to them. What a wonderful, funny, entertaining, and fulfilling story. It's colorful animation will entertain the kids, and the underlying 'grown-up' content is there for Mom and Dad. You will not be disappointed. As for the second part of my review, this deals with the professional side of desertcart, and why this company continues to be the success that it is. I ordered this film as a gift for my wife, for Valentines day. I was remiss, and found I was looking for a gift way late in the process. However! desertcart, offering Saturday, (Next day in my case) delivery would get the gift to my home, with one day to spare. This service was of course at a premium. I'm a Prime Member, and feel the service is well worth it. So I paid the $6.99 to get the item here by Saturday. As you may have surmised already, it did not make it on time. I was disappointed with desertcart, who has served me so well, for better then 12 years. The package arrived, Tuesday the 16th. With Monday being a holiday, I could understand that it did not get here then. But it was still later then promised. I found the contact by email button within the 'My Order's' portion of my account, and sent an email to desertcart, explaining my situation. I kid you not, within One Minute, they sent an email back to me, indicating that I would be receiving a refund of the $6.99 I paid, back to my MasterCard. That's customer service. Thanks desertcart. Get this movie. It really is great! :-) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Bob Peterson, Christopher Plummer, Danny Mann, David Kaye, Delroy Lindo, Don Fullilove, Ed Asner, Elie Docter, Jeremy Leary, Jerome Ranft, Jess Harnell, John Ratzenberger, Jordan Nagai, Josh Cooley, Mickie T.

Get this movie. It really is great! :-) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An outstanding Blu...4 discs filled with more than a day's watch *by S***L on November 6, 2009* I had no expectations of being disappointed with a Disney/Pixar BD, and being that it took me a whole dedicated day to get through everything, I now feel it was worth every penny. The film was enjoyable, funny, sad, and scary filled with some nice messages about life and loss. I can understand why the majority of my customers loved it. The Blu clarity is outstanding, and the amount of reference points are extensive, but one that stands out the most for contrast lines would have to be when the house is entering the lair (balloons against the dark cavern). The sound is selectable between 5.1 DTS, 2.0 DTS and Descriptive English. The 5.1 was beautiful with tons of reference points, sometimes excruciating (that bird screeching) but thorough nonetheless. Now for the supplements (all times in minutes): DISC 1: (BD) * 5:46 Partly Cloudy short film. Was hilarious. A great depth test for your display with the clouds. Nice little message of tolerance no matter how difficult someone might be. * 4:40 Dug's Mission. An almost lo-def looking short take on our main dog dealing with the main three baddies on a chase. * 22:17 Adventure Out There. A must see documentary about the crew taking the actual trip to the Tepui location in South America. A beautiful travel infomercial in itself. Loved how their guide only wore sandles for the ascent and hikes. * 4:56 Alternate Scenes Ending of Muntz. Sketches and interviews regarding different endings for that bad guy that they had come up with. * 1:00 How-to on using the Digital Copy. * Cine Explore option while watching the film. The two directors give their commentary with multiple pop-up screens showing art, ideas, etc. * Screen Saver. Allows you to set a time period for your screen saver to activate. * Maximize Your Home Theater. The standard Pixar multi-step process for setting all of your theater capabilities. DISC 2: (BD) Documentaries * 6:24 Geriatric Hero. History behind the creation of our old guy. All of these documentaries are interview oriented with sketches and film clips to supplement. * 8:26 Canine Companions. In depth analysis on the breed choices, training and dog behavior studied to get the dogs in the film to be more - dog like. * 9:00 Russel Wild Explorer. Covers the reasons for his character to have the loss and why he was "egg" shaped as opposed to other sketch ideas. * 5:04 Kevin (bird). Nice reference to the Swiss Family Robinson ostrich; covered the hardest part of any of these animation films - the feathers. * 4:38 Homemakers Pixar. Enjoyed the work that went into them studying sub-floors and lighting options in making this look so real in the house. * 6:25 Balloons and Flight. Tells the now famous number of balloons used; some interesting dirigible history; shows the Pixar group using that local Bay Area air service I keep seeing fly around here (research stuff). * 7:37 Composing for Characters. Have to be into the musical/scoring stuff for this one. Extras * Global Guardian Badge Game. After the initial setup of name, difficulty levels and tutorial material, the game has an extensive amount of country/geography material. Customers grouped around and we did fine for the United States section, but we randomly tried Africa and we bombed (some of the countries they were asking for I hadn't heard of in years) - good learning tool though. * 9:15 Alternate Scene - Married Life. Another sketch/interview piece about more material being removed/added into that section of the film. The scene itself would have been only a minute longer. * 6:00 montage. A mix of characters doing funny things - will make the kids laugh. * Screen Saver option. DISC 3 (DVD) * Film, plus special features from disc 1. WITH THE EXCEPTION of no Spanish subtitles/language; English only. DISC 4 (Digital Copy). * Code both unlocks the copy and gets you the usual points at the Disney site. Overall, an excellent product no matter how you look at it. The case has that new single hinge, multi-page off center chassis that has proven to be less than durable, but it should suffice for low usage storage.
