A Pixar film
Up is both a whimsical adventure and a deeply moving reflection on love, loss, and resilience. The film follows Carl, a grumpy old man who lifts his house with balloons to chase a lifelong dream, only to find unexpected companionship along the way.
But it’s the opening sequence that truly sets it apart: in just five minutes, Pixar delivers a masterclass in storytelling, capturing a lifetime of joy and heartbreak with such simplicity and emotional power that it leaves us in tears before the adventure even begins.
