The opening montage is amazingly well done. No question about that.

Movie sucked for me. Brought my 5 and 3 yr old and they wanted to know what happened to the baby (miscarriage). Then wanted to know why the "momma" died. Didn't want some heavy questions while on vacation. Kind of pissed me off.

wtf do you consider to be better than 'up'?

Toy Story 1 and 2. I'd even put Wall-E above it (albeit barely), but maybe that's just because I'm a sci-fi geek.

Toy Story is at the bottom of my list actually.

Top Pixar for me is a hard choice between Up and Cars. Wall-E was way up there, but it has like...no re-watchability....

Those are heavy questions?

It was not a miscarriage, she was infertile (the first Disney character to be so).
Sorry you can't explain things to your kids.

wallE was cool for only the extraordinarily fat captain on the extraordinarily fat ship.

I watched Little Shop of Horrors when I was 5.
My parents were concerned I might get upset by a big murderous plant with teeth; evidently my favorite part of the movie was when Seymour was chopping up the dentist and feeding him to AudreyII. They said I just didn't stop laughing.

I hope I didn't make them too awfully nervous as a result. :laugh:



Now where's my axe? It looks like mighty good choppin' weather outside right now.

It was a miscarriage. You only decorate a nursery when you are expecting a baby, not trying for one. Not really the point. Expected something else. My bad assuming it was going to be more enjoyable for small children.

That's only like a 24th of the movie though, you're telling me your kids didn't enjoy the rest?

Anyhow, I thought it was very important for adding meaning to the rest of the flick, a real good way to tell a story.

I can understand that perhaps you didn't want any sadness in your vacation movie though.

A little research goes a long way.
Do you think a doctor reveals a miscarriage while sitting in an office?

I thought UP was pretty boring. The parts where he's dragging the house forever.... I was dying.

exactly.

wall-e was fantastic as hell, but you kinda get bored watching it again. that doesn't happen with cars or up.

up = best animated movie ever.

UP lost it's way a bit in the second half, but when it's good, it's great. Nemo is still my fav, probably because of the huge cast of awesome supporting characters. Cars put me to sleep, twice. Maybe I'll try again if I catch it on tv and I have some redbull handy.

I teared up so much throughout all of Up. It is so sad and happy, its ridiculous. Loved the movie though, for sure
