That movie is what kept my parents together. The first time it hit the cinemas, my parents filed a divorce, but they worked it out, and they stayed together. Thank God my parents are still together now.

Dasha at the beginning: "Hopefully I wont cry" First 10 minutes of up: "Yeah.. about that.."

I'm a grown man and I tear up every time I see the beginning of this film.

The opening montage is arguably the most emotional non-verbal scene of the Pixar films. There are moments in Wall-E that come close.

I like to think that whenever Carl says “what have I got myself into Ellie?” Ellie’s up there bouncing up and down going “an adventure! An adventure! Go and enjoy it!” Also one sad but beautiful touch is that he always wears a bow tie after Ellie dies, because she’s not there to tie his regular tie for him anymore 😢

This movie reminds me so much of my grandmother. She died one year before the pandemic. I couldn't show this movie to my grandparent (her husband), but he decided to watch it by himself. He said it was a great relief for him.

Honestly, the first 10 minutes of this movie alone are worthy of an Oscar. One of the best opening sequences in any movie, ever - animated or otherwise.

It's just MASTERFUL storytelling that Pixar was able to make everybody care THAT much, THAT quickly, and then completely devastate them to the point of tears within five minutes and _without a single word being said._

Yeah, Ed Asner was so perfect in this. He passed away not that long ago, but he played grumpy old men for like fifty years. Not to be confused with the 1993 film "Grumpy Old Men", which you should also totally watch.

It is incredible how fast this movie gets you emotionally invested. It produces tears in record time.

Isn’t it amazing how an animated movie can be more impactful, meaningful and emotional than most of the live action movies today.

This movie is so good! The love story part hurts too. I've never lost a spouse, but I know someone that has. My mother. My dad passed away almost 11 years ago. She still sleeps on her side of the bed. She still leaves a place for him at the table. After being together for so long, 30ish years, certain habits stick with you. To this day, I still cry when I think about all the milestones in my life that my dad has missed. My marriage, my big career, my first house, my first big renovation, my daughter

Dasha: "I want to be as charismatic as she is!" Don't worry about that Dasha, mission accomplished you've got it in spades!😊

Dasha, of all the people on this planet you have the sweetest, kindest, heart of anyone I have ever seen. That you can be emotional over an animated movie is so amazingly nice. You are the best. My Russian grandfather would have adored you. He had a good heart like you, and I loved him dearly. You make reactions like this so very enjoyable, and I am sure most of us cry along with you. I can guarantee that I do!!!!! I hope that you never change!!!

Pixar created a more meaningful and more beautiful love story in 6 minutes with no dialogue, than Hollywood ever managed within an hour and a half of Romeo and Juliet or The Notebook.

If you think about it, he had no way down from Paradise Falls once he got there. He intended to sit there until he passed away and joined Ellie.

Russell’s parents are divorced in the movie, he talked about his dad’s girlfriend saying something that Russell bugs him too much

Waiting ... waiting ... waiting ... and there it is. Ten minutes in, and the tears, The most perfect piece of storytelling and we haven't even started yet. Everybody cries. I'm tearing up now and I've seen this a hundred times.

Trivia note: The brother of the kid who voiced Russell was the 1 who auditioned for the role, but the producers felt he wasn't the right age for the character, so they asked the kid who didn't audition for the role to voice Russell.

"My name is Dug. I have just met you, and I love you." - 100% dog The ice cream parlor at the end of the movie is based on a real place. Pixar headquarters are in Emeryville, California, which is right next to Oakland. Fenton's is an ice cream place that's been in Oakland since 1894. Pixar movies often have inside jokes and sly references to local landmarks and institutions. The montage at the beginning of the movie is a masterpiece of storytelling. In just a few minutes it makes us feel the love between Carl and Ellie, establishes character, and creates motivation. Other Pixar films I'd like for you to react to: - The Toy Story movies - A Bug's Life - Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University - Inside Out Thanks!

That opening sequence is so perfectly done that it's used as an example of visual storytelling techniques in animation classes. I watched it about ten times and I still get emotional while watching it.

Damn it, just your reaction made me cry like I did when I first watched it. The opening 10 minutes is it's own gorgeous, heart breaking movie but they topped it with an eye-watering, sweet and funny feature. Wonderful work as always Dasha.

"Let's go and watch and...hopefully not cry". Well that's got to be the shortest duration of a wish I've ever seen.

It's quite remarkable how this movie manages to in its opening 10 minutes tell the most beautiful and heart breaking love story in cinema history.

Dasha, I am so proud how well you took the first 12 minutes of the movie. Please don't hold back. Know that there's no one with a soul who can handle the beginning of this movie. None of us can. And you took it like a champ. You too should be proud of yourself. That being said, I absolutely love your channel although this may be the first time I'm actually writing you. I admire your intellect, your warmth, kindness and all around genuine reactions. I just wish you weren't spoiled about how sad it was. Keep up the incredible work. You're a gem and one of a kind. 😁

This movie has the best opening ever.

The boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most. Man that's so true 👍

A lot of people miss that when they are spotting cars at the end of the movie (red one, blue one) that Dug says "gray one", because dog's are color blind. LOL

It gets me every time. Even watching it all edited like this, it still gets me. Every time.

One of the greatest intros in cinematic history 💔

Best Dog Ever: "I hid under the porch because I love you."

Great reactions to one of Pixar's most emotional films, Dasha!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Everybody cries after the first five minutes.😭

The beginning of this movie always gets me. Probably the saddest thing in all of Pixar movies..

First movie I'd seen that made me cry within the first 15 minutes! Loved enjoying with you! Thanks Miss Dasha.🥰

This was inspired by an actual old little house in I believe NYC where it is surrounded on three sides by sky scrapers. Look up "actual Up house." One of the best love stories on film, and it was told in 15 minutes.

I had the chance to see Ed Asner in person when he was still around. There’s a series that takes place after the movie called Dug Days. It was one of his final projects, and it was released posthumously.

This movie hits close to home for me, my grandfather lost his wife too, they lived through the depression WW2, every major even of the last 80-90- years they witnessed until her death about a decade ago,he went in the opposite direction ,he sold his house, sold everything that reminded him of her because of how devasted he was he couldn't bear the thought of not being with her anymore.im crying writing this seeing his face just a shell of his former self, no more life in his eyes his voice half as booming as it used to be and he won't spare more than 2 minutes to talk to me on the phone. This kind of love is rare and when you see it in person for most of your life you realize that true love is possible,damn it why did i watch thi now im crying! My grandparents were these two characters in real life and i am happy that my grandfather is making it through each day even though i know all he wants to do is be able to hold his baby again one last time. and see her face and hear her voice again. Dasha, thank you for this, it was beautiful to see such genuine reactions from you to this animated movie. I watched this movie in theaters when it came out and i cried too when they showed him at his wifes funeral. The dogs were the only reason i could laugh watching this, Doug is my spirit animal a big dumb lovable good boy who just wants to please his master.

this UP intro is one of the few Pixar movies that make me cry

Up won an Oscar for best animated film thank you Dasha. By the way The Paradise Falls is based on Angel Falls one of the greatest waterfalls of the world located in Canaima National Park in Venezuela

this one is such a gem..... the intro-story always gets me....

"I wish Ellie could be here to see all of that." Girl, don't make me cry! I'm already having a hard time with the opening sequence!

The opening few minutes or so is some of the best story telling in movie history - with no actual dialogue. Show, don't tell perfected

That early montage gets me every single time. No dry eyes.

My daughter used this movie a lot when she tried contact lenses. Whenever she needed to put them in or take them out, but her eyes were too dry, she watched a few minutes of Up to get the waterworks going.

If the first ten minutes of this movie were released on their own as a short film, it’d probably be one of the best shorts of all time. It’s so real and raw and relatable.

This was among my father's favorite movies. It was definitely his style of humor, but... we had also lost Mom 5 years prior, so that part resonated with him very strongly. It's a very touching movie, Dasha. Glad you liked it. Squirrel!

Your reaction was priceless! This now my favorite video on your channel!

This is my favorite animated movie. The opening montage is just heartbreaking. Fantastic reaction.

God damn it. I have seen this movie so many times and there are still these ninjas chopping onions right into my eyes every time the intro plays :`(

Congratulations you passed the test. You're a compassionate human being with real feelings. If you aren't in tears when Elle dies you're a sociopath. It's literally the best test I know.

The first time I saw this movie I realized the writers had managed to rip my heart out, stomp on it and dare me to say anything in the first 10 min. So well done.

During the Acadmy Awards the composer of the score music won the Oscar. He went on stage wearing the Ellie button.

"Up": A movie about Carl's life with Ellie, which ended before they could go to Paradise Falls. Then Russell comes into his empty life, and their lives change in unexpected ways.

Everyone deserves a love like this. I just hope she shows up soon. I am ready for my adventure book.

Yeah, that intro is a guaranteed tearjerker.

One night a stray cat walked up to my wife, meowed at her, and then jumped into the passenger seat of her car. We named him Dug because of this move. We had a guy in our office who was easily distracted. We used say "he squirreled" when he'd be working on a project then went off on on a side quest. Also from this movie. Dasha, there are several movies with dogs as main characters. Old Yeller, Beethoven, Call of the Wild, Air Bud, Turner and Hooch. In the 1970's, there was a whole series featuring Benji, a small dog that got into all sorts of adventures. Many of the Benji movies had no humans in them for most of the run-time. Homeward Bound was two dogs and a cat on an adventure trying to get home. You might want to put a poll together and see if there's any interest in them. My money would be on Turner and Hooch.

Not only do I cry when I see the intro to this film, I cry when I hear the opening theme.

2:54 Dasha is just as charismatic if not more so. Her charisma is one of many reasons why she is my favorite.

It's a wonderfully melancholy movie, loved your reaction to the talking dogs 😃

"i will not cry to up" "so you have chosen death" "death: im not crying, YOURE CRYING!"

The reason Doug found the bird and the others didn't is because Doug is the only dog bred for hunting. All of the others were bred to be guardians.

Two minutes in and I'm crying. We watched this with my dad a few years after my mom had passed away. That was the first time I saw it. He seemed to get through it okay. It always reminds me of him. Such a good movie though.

28:32 "He got himself a kiddo and a dog" hahaha love her

You have a beautiful heart and soul dasha never afraid to show your emotions, whether there happy sad afraid angry confused amazed or fascinated. Please never change your perfect as you are. Love hearing you laugh

The first ten minutes of the movie is more romantic and heartbreaking than most entire movies

*I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!* 😭 hehe

Ohhh Dasha! This movie still makes me cry before it really gets started. Ellie and Carl? Life-long crush. You cannot beat it. I often wondered how different it would have been if Ellie was the one who met Russell, Dug, and Kevin. She probably wouldn't have sent Russell on a Snipe hunt though. Then there would have been a different reason that they obtained Kevin's trust. And the crazy super adventure guy would have a different reaction to her. And then he Ellie pin thing. And SQUIRREL!

The director said Russell was inspired by his neighbor in real life Russell Jang. Carl is based on a character from "Guess Who's coming to Dinner?"

That opening always gets me. It is one of the best sequences of growing love

The opening montage of this film never fails to choke me up! - I'm not surprised you shed some serious tears there Dasha! Funny isn't it how so many animated films manage to have better stories with more love, more heart & more emotion than many other films, & Up has got to be one of the best for tugging the heart-strings!

I'm not sure what the Russian term for aerial fight between 2 fighter planes is, but in English, it's called a "dog fight." So it's also a pun when the dogs fly out in planes to attack Carl and Russell in the floating house.

Ooooh I’ve been looking forward to this~

6:30 He sent the boy out "snipe hunting". In rural America, snipe hunting is an old prank/joke where you take and leave someone alone out in the wilderness at night, and you give them a stick and burlap sack, and tell them that they have to catch a snipe. But they never will. It's basically sending them on a wild goose chase all night for something that they'll never catch. You can either use that prank on a friend, or you can use it as a way to spend some alone time with a lady friend. 😏

Dasha. I always love your reactions. Seeing you cry so much, proves yo have a pure heart and you're a good person. You're lovely

Looks like you found one to add to your collection! Thank you for the wonderful reaction!

I believe the movie message is "Life is what happens when you have other plans "

22:38 -- when I was watching this in theaters on opening weekend, I was on the verge of tears, but THAT moment is the one that broke me.

Dasha, you thought you were not going to cry before you watched the movie because it was a cartoon and you probably thought "cartoons are funny" lol this movie breaks your heart right away. Your reaction is incredible. You are perfect for this kind of videos.

"And hopefully not cry" Oh you sweet summer child 😆 ❤️

Those piano notes break my heart everytime. This movie is magic

Here in Brazil we had a great comedian named Chico Anysio. He made the voice acting in portuguese version of Mr. Fredericksen as one of his latest jobs. Chico Anysio was a genius actor, made It perfect.

I loved your reaction - you have such an empathetic heart I knew you would love this one!

Dasha: "I hope this won't get too sad... also Dasha: watches the movie with the most heartbreaking opening of all times...

You know it's gonna be a good movie when it can make you cry in the first 15 minutes

Pixar really mastered the art of speedrunning to get the whole audience in tears

Pixar has wiped out audiences in ten minutes with that opening. I still cry every time I see it.; so beautiful it hurt. Thank you for the heartfelt reaction…Keep’em coming!

The suprise on Dasha's face when the thousands of balloons appeared and then the talking dog. Sad and also a joyful movie. Cheer's 🇬🇧

I think you are the most genuine reactor on KZfaq. Your reactions are totally real and never faked. Your reactions are nearly the same as mine. You should definitely have a lot more followers. 👍

the opening always hits so hard

Famous last words - I don't think I'll need any tissues watching Up. You won't need just any tissues... you'll need ALL the tissues!

Worth it just for the first five minutes alone. That montage is a masterpiece in itself. Great reaction.

There is no other movie I have ever seen that made me cry before the title. Those ten minutes broke me, and they still do. Whoever told you to bring a tissue was right.

The beginning of this movie is more impactful than any other movie in my memory. "It's a Wonderful Life" is my all-time favorite movie, but this pulls tears from my eyes in a very short time. Ed Asner was brilliant! A masterpiece by every measure. You have a beautiful heart, Dasha!

That beginning. Omg. That could’ve been an animated short and won an Oscar for best animated short. Hits you right in the feels

The world will try to break you, but you don’t have to let it. I don’t go back to this very often because it is a painful watch, but I do love the kernel of hope wrapped in all that sadness.

I truelly Love the messege that Ellie gave to Carl in the adventure Dream Book, thank you for the adventure, meaning that it was never paradise falls that was the true adventure, but spending her life with Carl.

Even if you don't react to them, PLEASE watch the short series "Dug Days" if you can. It's a few little episodes that capture all of their lives AFTER the movie, Carl & Dug's new house, and how Russell and his mom end up moving in LITERALLY NEXT DOOR. It's a wonderful little series and really funny!

"I Even Brought Tissues, Just In Case" Well, Dasha, you're definitely gonna need them

Welcome to the Up club.Qualification crying in the first ten minutes

I've seen this film a hundred times and I still cry during the opening montage.
