Since no one wants to give a thorough explanation, she didn’t and couldn’t have babies because that’s how the script for the animation was written.

My husband and I couldn’t have babies. It was because of me. He said we would build a life together and he would never leave me. Now we are both old and he has dementia. I told him I didn’t care if the only thing he could move were his eyeballs. I would never leave him. Real love stays forever. ❤️

I watched this movie, alone, 2 years after my wife passed from cancer. She was diagnosed not long after we had gotten married and had been talking about having a baby. The death of his wife was like a kick in the guts reminder to me.

Did anybody else notice the tabs and search in youtube

Since no one wants to give a thorough explanation, she became infertile because of the lead paint they used to paint in the nursery and suffered a miscarriage because of this.

The writers weren't playing, they dug deep into the story, and made sense of EVERY little thing. Masterpiece.

After my husband and i tried to have babies for 12 years, he died and now am pregnant and alone. I cry every day because i wish he could see his dream of being a father come true.

It’s infertility. My wife and I have been trying to conceive for 8 years. We finally were blessed and pursued surrogacy, my sister being our surrogate, only to lose our baby boy at 20 weeks last week, due to anencephaly, a rare 1 in 6000 chance abnormality. But we are still praying everyday, giving thanks, and trusting in the Lord that he will bless us with a baby one day ❤

I love the part where you explain why

IS NO ONE LOOKING AT THE SEARCH BAR AND THE OTHER TABS LMAO😭

There’s an interview of an elderly man saying he wish he had grandkids.. but he’s dad never wanted him and his stepfather beat him so he told God he never wanted children unless he could be a good dad. And then he never had children. The older women who knew him then said, that’s why you were such a good dad to Everyone you met. 😭 I wish I saved it now. It was just a random short that had me in tears.

For those wondering the real reason. It was the house, the old paint and mold cause her to be infertile. They played in that house all day when they were little kids. And bought the home, renovated but kept some of the old wood and paint. That's the reason. That's the reason he wouldn't part the home either.

I only realized it when I got older that the boy he met later was his chance of having fatherlike experience and it brings me to tears

ok everyone talking about the “stinky rocks in my throat” thing but this made me cry so much 😭😭

I feel that even if a person cannot have kids, they could adopt. There’s many children out there that could use a loving set of parents.

God this movie is beginning is heart breaking. For nothing is more precious, then to have somebody to love, and to be loved back.

That opening scene from Up is still one of the saddest movie moments, something about seeing 2 people falling in love at a young age and going through life in all the ups and down until the inevitable end compact into like 5 minutes of movie. Shows how short life is. I remember being a kid when this movie came out and the beginning made me cry.

This part gets me every single time. As someone who has suffered has suffered 7 miscarriages and went through fertility treatments for 9 years, this part made me feel SEEN. No one understands infertility or infant loss unless they’ve experienced it for themselves. You walk around seeing everyone doing this thing that is supposed to be the most natural thing in the world but you can’t do it and it’s devastating. You live in constant fear of others happiness. “Happy for you but sad for me” becomes your mantra. Unsolicited advice from well meaning family and friends, the question “when are you going to have a baby?” Or “why don’t you just adopt?” It comes at your from all sides. If you are experiencing infertility or have experienced infant loss or miscarriage, you are not alone. There are many of us out there living with the same kind of pain. I’m sending you love and light. If you know someone experiencing infertility, don’t give unsolicited advice, don’t ask when they’re going to get pregnant, don’t offer your kids as a joke, just be there. Be a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, a hug can help more than you think. Just being there is appreciated. ❤

My wonderful beautiful sweet loving wife gave me the best years of her life before she passed at the ripe old age of 40. I miss her so much.

i dont think any animated movie has made me feel this many emotions in one single scene

This movie always makes me cry. Neither my best friend nor I were able to have children. We went to see this movie on the last birthday of her life. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer shortly after and I had the privilege of taking care of her . I miss you Nadine DeSanto Kehl. I will be with you again. I love you my dear sweet friend. ( We were friends from grade school and still are just on a different plane. )You are never far from me love.

My husband and I couldn't have children. It was my problem, not his. But he stayed with me until the morning he died in his sleep. We both cried during this scene in up and he squeezed my hand.

This is one of the most emotional and well done opening to any movie. Is someone cutting onions here.😢

I was only allowed to have one. Im grateful for him! Hes all grown now and im still so proud of him!

people like them would make wonderful parents… 😢

"stinky rocks in my throat"💀💀💀

The beginning of UP always gets me crying

I saw a clip on this one... She couldn't bear babies because of the paint... If you noticed, they keep on painting the house... The lead content in the paint made it difficult for her to bear childrean...

"why my breath smells like beef" had me💀

"Stinky rocks in my throat" 💀

I'm not crying, you're crying... such a beautiful and heart-crushing sequence.

Lead paint. Not only did they strip a very very old house, but they allowed the paint they were using completely onto their skin without protection. My cousins daughter when she was three years old, was eating the paint out of her windowsill, and when he discovered what she was doing, he took her to the emergency room and they found three times the amount of lead in her system that would normally kill someone. He absolutely stood there screaming and demanding her to be life flighted immediately to the nearest Children’s Hospital within the hour. She survived with minimal brain damage. I guess you don’t mess with a man who’s over 7 feet tall and has boxed George Foreman.

I feel like Pixar is the more intelligent and feels deeper of the two, while Disney is the more imaginative and day dreamer.

The lead paint 😭😮 and that's why HE'S SO ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE it's not only the memory of ELLIE but the fact that it's almost like a substitute child they created and raised together 😢 The motifs of imagination, the colours, the EXCITEMENT... Oh my goodness, never realised that one fact that has now made sO MUCH about the movie just slot into place

Me being the only who’s confused Ann😭😭😭

I saw this in the movie theater when my kid was young and I ugly cried through the whole damn thing. My husband thought I'd lost my mind 😭😭😭

The fact the producers actually went here and toured the actual wilderness is astonishing. I toured Pixar once and it was the best experience I ever had. People were skating and using scooters to get around. It was like a huge playground for creativity ❤

Up is hands down the saddest children’s movie I’ve ever watched😥 Edit: Y’all I get it Bambi and others are sad too😭 But y’all don’t have to say it EVERY SINGLE TIME

I never ask someone why they didnt have kids unless I get to know them better. You never know what people have gone through.

I love this movie. It hits on so many levels and is super funny. I never thought my favorite movie would star Ed Asner.

As someone who has had multiple miscarriages, this scene hit me like a ton of bricks. I know what it feels like to be in that room, having that conversation, and feeling the overwhelming loss. And husbands (good ones at least) are just as helpless because they cant fix anything.

This scene is so powerful that even the tabs and search bar couldn’t take me out of it

It’s the fact that this worked so well. We rly watched this like @supercarlinbrothers ain’t already uncovered every Pixar theory

Because of the Lead from the paint

"stinky rocks in my throat" I'm fucking dead 💀

The most powerful couple of minutes in animation history. No dialogue just pure emotions ❤

In the 70s, there was a ban on use of asbestos in the house construction. Exposure to toxic substances and Whether that had anything to do with her pregnancy is unknown, but that’s a random fact matching the exact time period.

When Up first came out,kids couldn't understand why all the adults cried during the movies opening montages. Now they know...😢

One of the best 5 minute love stories. You cry because it's real.

“stinky rocks in my throat” 😭😭 girl its called tonsil stones

Maybe, but they could easily adopt

So many children need parents adopting is awesome

all these serious, heartfelt comments and im just saying "stinky rocks" over and over in my head

Disney shot us in the heart for like no reason. One of the most emotional scenes ever in the first 10 minutes of a kids movie…

This movie just makes me feel overwhelmed everytime.

So.... Why can't she? I mean... I know why... But what oart if the scene makes you think "Aha, thats why"

This scene never fails to make me cry

the best 10 minutes in animation history... that intro story has more heart, emotion and better storytelling than anything else from disney ever since...

This was a sad scene but they filled their life with joy together. I think that the last scene when he finally finds Ellie’s note goodbye hits so much more.

I understood every single scene and I cried my eyes out. I can never watch this movie again.

My teacher ( family friend) really wanted babies and she had 14 miscarries before she went to the doctors and found out that her body just couldn’t keep the babies😢 it was heart breaking watching her hopes get crushed every time. She fell into depression and was heartbroken. She ended up marring a wonderful man who had a kid already. That got her out of depression and now she is the happiest person I know❤

Our house was built in the late 1800s or something and we were fixing up and cleaning the house, the paint was scraped up so the lead was in the air. My little baby brother got lead poisoning and had to take medicine. He doesn’t have it anymore but I thought it was scary he would die

So are we just not gonna talk about how her search tab says “why my breath smells like a stinky rock” 😭💀

Die Szene hat mich gekillt!!!!

Y’all talking about the movie, I’m tryna figure out why the hell she’s looking up “stinky rocks in my throat.” Edit: after nearly 80 people have commented, I am now outstandingly aware they are tonsil stones.

I don't know why the lead based paint didn't even occur to me. Holy shit, that makes so much sense.

Not stopping until I find a love like Up fr. 💕

Lead in the paint at that time lean in paint was almost everywhere.😢

As someone who had tried for 12 years and had to accept the fate of unexplainable infertility...this one really have an emotional impact to us...thank God, we have each other and our supporting family&friends🥺🥺🥺

“stinky rocks in my throat” got me falling from 1,000,000 stairs☠️💀 Edit: YALL I JUST CAME TO YT AFTER A MOVIE AND I GOT FRICKING 374…. y’all needa calm down😩

Ups is such a beautiful story about a long term fun and loving relationship I wish more people were like this

Imagine a theater full of kids crying through the first 30 mins of this movie😢😢

When i was a kid and first saw this movie, i couldnt understand why my mom cried at this scene when they were in the hospital. Years later, i found out my mom had 3 miscarriages before my brother and me.

It’s due to the lead paint in the old house. A lot of older houses used lead in their paint. This is also a theory for Princess Carolyn from (Bojack Horseman) not being able to have kids, due to the necklace she wore all the time, being made of lead.

Even though they are playing this song, I still can hear the sad piano song

The beginning of Up is literally the hardest Ive ever cried at a movie.

The sad thing is, it happens quite often that the best people can’t have kids, and yet the worst people can, and turn out to be nothing but a bunch of child abusers.

Disney killed me with this movie, literally the hardest movie I ever watched. 😭😭😭

I tried for almost 25 years. Finally let the dream go at 55. It’s heartbreaking.

I always found it amazing that an animated cartoon explained unconditional love for a lifetime better than anything ever.

The "stinky rocks in my throat," "why my breth smell like beef," and the "smelly throat" had me dying 💀

“Stinky rocks in my throat” “Why my breath smells like beef” “Stinky throat” 💀 you need to get that checked Edit: this is my most liked comment!

Why you making me cry from a KZfaq short? 😭😭

The only kids movie that made me cried, the scene was so sad....

My husband and I watched this movie, while we were in the throes of infertility. I couldn’t stop crying the rest of the movie and to this date I only remember this part of Up. We are so lucky we now have our two miracle little boys.

"why my breth smell like beef" in the tab over 😂😂

This may be the best montage in movie history. Pixar really nailed with this one. Right in the feels!

Am I the only one who sees the words stinky rocks in my throat on the search bar

She either was told she couldn’t have kids or she had a miscarriage, I loved this movie as a kid and still do now, it made me cry

This hits my core. I can't have children either. I haven't cried in several months till I saw this.

Stinky rocks in my throat. Realy got me!!!😅

As someone who was told in there mid 20s that the children I had were the only children I was going to have. I feel blessed to have any at all. But I know the pain of being told that that gift is being taken away from you. It’s heartbreaking, especially if you want to be parents.

"why my breath smell like beef"💀

I cried forever at this part. I’d just experienced a miscarriage after struggling with infertility so it was extra painful my first time seeing it.

In the 2009 Pixar movie Up, Carl and Ellie Fredricksen are unable to have children after Ellie suffers a miscarriage and is diagnosed as infertile.

The Search Bar Tho "Stinky Rocks In My Throat" 😂

I always assumed, they were so excited to have a baby, they decorated the nursery even before she was pregnant. Then after not conceiving for a while, went to the doctor, and after tests, he explained they couldn’t have children 😢

"Stinky rocks in my throat" such beautiful words.

The first 15 minutes of this movie deserves an Academy Award.
