“UP” by DORIS

UP by DORIS GARCÍA

Up is a funny adventure comedy movie. It was produced by Pixar and was released in 2009. It won two Oscars.After its premiere it got an excellent review and was considered as the best animated film in 2009. In 2004 Pixar artists visited Tepuy, Venezuela, for research about the set. It raised over $930,000,000 million in the world becoming the third best movie produced after Finding Nemo (2003) and Toy Story 3 (2010).

Up tells us the life of an old and unhappy widower named Mr Fredricksen. It happens in a big city where once upon a time there were lovely houses and now there are only skyscrapers. An eight-year-old charming boy named Russell appears a day he is going to try to help Mr Fredricksen in anything because he is a boy scout and his goal is getting an elderly helping insignia.

They are going to live an unforgettable adventure in the paradise falls (The lost land) in Venezuela, when Mr. Fredricksen decides to carry his home.You will be able to feel happy, sad, and much more feelings despite the characters are just cartoons.

Up is an entertaining movie. This kind of movies has a lot of values such perseverance, courage, friendship and many more.I think it´s really importat for our children. I have to admit I even cried when I watched it. So even though it is a cartoon movie I recommend it for everyone I am sure you won´t be indifferent.
