Up.

OK, yes, I really didn't have a lot of choice for things starting with U.

Up is yet another animated offering from Pixar, and probably one of their better efforts. It has a fairly interesting storyline, some likeable/funny characters, and some decent graphics.

Part of the basic premise of the movie - that an old man uses an inordinate amount of helium balloons to go floating away - is something that I think a lot of younger kids could relate to. They might often see balloons disappearing into the sky, and think, "Wow! Wouldn't it be cool to do that?"

Of course, while physics and Mythbusters would have a field day with this one, that's not the point, and it isn't meant to be. It's a kid's movie, of course there's going to be some things that are a bit - well, not very real world. The other particular example in this movie is the dogs' speaking collar. (Which provides a fair few laughs, particularly with Alpha and squirrels.)

All in all, a decent movie.
