Something I fully believe is that russel fully saved carls life. The state Carl was in after Ellie died is the thing behind old couples always dying close to eachother.

Everyone loves the opening, but don't let us forget the part where Carl looks at the book and realizes that Ellie was content with their lives.😭 He basically spent the whole movie thinking he had failed her by not giving her the life he through she wanted (both with the trip to Paradise Falls and the implied infertility/miscarriage), but she was actually happy with the time they had together.😢 Also I think the darkest part of the movie is the implication that Carl went to Paradise Falls to die given he had no plan of getting back.

Fun fact: The villain is 92 years old. Pretty spry for an older fellow lol

I remember watching this in a movie theater at my college campus. There were a bunch of couples there and after that intro scene, you just heard a bunch of sniffles and crying

what i love about Dug so much compared to the other dogs is that the others are more fighting, intimidating dogs, Dug is the only actual tracking dog, but Golden Retrievers are also known to be one of the most friendly of dogs. Dogs have natural instincts, Dug's instinct is well happy.

Fun Fact: "Paradise Falls" is an actual place in real life, it's called "Salto Angel" and it's located in Venezuela, my Homeland 😊.

Fun(Sad) fact about the beginning scene: it was originally going to be removed, but the studio kept the Miscarriage scene after the director had told them how much of an importance to the entire movie's plot. So yeah, they kept it in as a result, which made this movie what it is. It's such an underrated movie tbh! There's tons of messages in it that everybody of all ages can learn from!

10:13 "Well, I gotta help you cross SOMETHIN'." Russel DID help Carl cross something. He helped him "cross his heart" by keeping his 2-part promise to Ellie: Make it to Paradise Falls, and continue to live a new adventure after she passed.

If you don’t cry at least once during this movie I don’t know if you’re human

The beginning of Up still gets you emotional even on a rewatch! 😭

"Nobody dies in PIXAR movies." "...except Carl's wife!" I did an honest spit take with that! Now I have to clean Dr. Pepper off my monitor. Thanks, guys!

This movie absolutely crushed me! I now refuse to watch it again because I don’t wanna break down sobbing on my floor.

Always gotta give love and credit to the flawless "Show don't tell" part. It's hard to do that so beautifully! Plus, I love how his house actually exists in real life, it's amazing.

This is movie is kinda based on a true story... not the paradise falls part or the house with balloons. But the friendship of an old man and the guy who was supposed to try to get him to sell the house for some company... they ended up becoming best friends. It's a really cute story.

UP is simply a masterpiece, I miss Pixar doing movies like it

11:03 this is why you should always wear your safety helmet when on the job site. You never know when a cranky elderly man will assault you with his cane.

Muntz makes me think of a dark, human version of Scrooge McDuck. Bold, seasoned adventurer who is surprisingly vigorous and can put up quite a good fight for someone his age.

A thing to realize is that if Munz managed to capture 'Kevin' and bring her back he would go to prison for animal abuse and animal cruelty. The world has changed a lot since he went on his quest to bring the animal back. That's about 60 years if not more. How we view animals and their treatment changed a lot on that timespan.

This is more movie in 15 mins that some entire franchises. I'm only on min 5 of the reaction and I'm tearing up. christ.

Ok, I have a Pixar lamp story. Back in 1982, my sister, Liz was hired by an engineering company who had just bought 3-D computer graphic software and wanted to do 3-D blueprints for a new construction project. She had a degree in pure math, but CGI was a brand-new thing and there were no CGI degrees so they hired people with a random assortment of degrees and got the software company to train them. Anyway, there's an annual conference for computer graphics professionals called Siggraph that's been going on since 1974, and in 1986, the company sent my sister to it. All the graphics companies had videos of their latest graphics, which in 1986 mostly consisted of solid, hard surface, single-colored objects (spheres, cones, etc) moving around on flat surfaces against a black background. The tech challenge at the time was to add realistic-looking reflections and shadows as the objects moved. Pixar had brought a 2-minute video called "Luxo, Jr", that featured a big lamp and a small lamp with a ball. The lamps and ball were not that different from the objects in the other videos, but they were animated in a way that gave them personalities. The entire place was on it's feet applauding before the video was half over. And that's the origin of the Pixar mascot. And here's the video -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bK1jgplh1Ju5Z6s.html

There’s a conspiracy going around that the scene at the beginning with Carl‘s mailbox and the guy getting hit was planned by the construction company to get Carl‘s property. The evidence to back it up is later in the movie. Carl hits Charles Muntz in the head with the same cane, Muntz, a man swinging a sword and actively threatening his life, and Muntz at least one or two decades older than Carl and much older than the construction worker, does not bleed and continues fighting. This bean pole of a man working construction had a fake blood pack in his hand, ready to apply it wherever necessary after needlessly riling up Carl, even planning to let go of the mailbox had Carl not swung and falling deliberately to make it look like a believable injury. He wasn’t even wearing a hardhat at a construction site, even the corporate suits were wearing hard hats. Unfortunately, the construction companies plan did work and Carl did end up moving, he even took the house which they were just going to tear down and it made securing the site somewhat easier. Spread the word, there’s an even darker message behind the whole purpose of this movie.

It’s normal for the first 10 minutes to make people cry

The color theory in The Sad Sequence™️ at the beginning of the movie is incredible. The pink represents Ellie. When she’s in the hospital, the pink is very soft and coming from the window almost to say that it’s time for her time to go to the light. She’s frail and weakened because she’s near the end. And then you have the funeral scene where it’s almost saturated in pink. She’s with him one last time. It’s overwhelmingly pink; overwhelmingly Ellie. Overwhelming grief. And then the last shot where Carl walks back into their home with the blue ballon you can see that there’s a little bit of pink but it fades away. Reality has set in. She’s not longer with him. And at the end of the movie when we see that the house stayed next to the fall: the sunset is pink. Carl has fulfilled his promise of bringing Ellie to the falls. I’ll never shut up about the meaning on pink in those scenes because IT’S TOO GOOD AND SAD!! 😭

I watched this movie with my boyfriend (now husband) when it first came out on Blu ray and we had to pause for 10 minutes after the opening so I could stop sobbing.

This movie is, by far, my favorite animated movie ever. It's weaved so well and the story is beautiful, heartfelt, and adventurous. The ending ties everything up so neatly with the house landing in Paradise Falls, the villain rightfully defeated, and the individuals becoming their own family based on those who they lost or are absent. Every scene leads into another future scene and is the definition of 'perfect screenplay'. I love this movie, and I'm happy you guys did as well.

A heartbreaking start leading to an adventure and a satisfying conclusion.

4:53 It took me a good while to understand what thst scene meant when I was a kid... 😢

This movie drills a hole in your heart in the first 20 minutes so it can fill it back up by the end.

As a widower, it is really hard for me to watch the first 12 mins of this pic.

Up is my perfect movie. Funny, heartwarming, sad, joyful... but beyond that it's a wonderful example of setup and payoff in terms of the writing. So many little things (crossing the heart, the snipe, the badges) get introduced and then brought back in new context that it's honestly incredible. The movie doesn't waste a second of screen time, something is ALWAYS being set up, changed, or paid off and that just feels so SATISFYING.

Ed Asber did such an amazing job of making Carl relatable and bringing us along on his emotional journey. Rip to an acting legend. Also I see H-man repping the Yu Yu Hakusho fandom. Nice to know you've got such great taste man!

The first time I watched this movie was with my mom and we both cried hard. My husband cried and even our daughter cried so I had to comfort her, she watched this movie for a whole week.

This movie actually got me crying at the start.

So yeah, this is what everyone meant when they said episode 3 of the last of us was a 45 minute version of the opening of Up. Such great storytelling, but so sad 😢😢😢

Dont forget to wach Doug days , is a continuation of the film and is short . Has 5 episodes and Carl first date will also appear but i dont know when ( take 10 minutes ) .

This animation is an absolute favorite of my childhood and I'm thrilled to watch your reaction now

I always forget about the part where Carl finally opens Ellie’s adventure book for the first time in decades. I have no idea how I do, cuz it’s the one that gets me every time 🥲

i cried because it was up, but i laughed because you guys were enjoying it so much for it to RIP YOUR HEART OUT. imagine seeing this in theaters for your friend’s 13th birthday 😂

If anyone has seen “A Man Called Otto”, that whole movie is basically the aftermath of the first 10 minutes of this movie.

28:12 "That's about an 8 on the butt-pucker scale" I have NEVER heard anxiety levels (while watching movies) being described that way, but somehow it's very accurate lollll

When Ellie dies, I want to cy, but I can hold it back. When Carl finds that Ellie considered her life with him to be a grand adventure, a few tears fall, but I can hold it back. For some reason, when I see that the house landed back on the waterfall, a fitting resting place for Ellie's memory, I cry like a baby.

Dude at the bottom.....Hate it all you want. But it's a truly brilliant film with a ton of heart and love! It's a great reminder that we should all cherish every single moment we have with our loved ones!

I haven't watched up for ages so glad I experience again with you guys

Soon as I saw y’all were reacting to Up I knew there’d be tears. Didn’t disappoint (I also cried)

Ironic that it’s called “UP”…when that beginning chunk always gets me down Eh? Anyone? No? Okay…

A beautiful movie, I’m so glad you guys watched it! Also hman repping that yu yu hakusho shirt makes me happy

If I could recommend another emotional Disney movie to watch, perhaps Wall-E would be good? A story told with only few words between robots. ^^

That beginning gets me every single time!!! I mean it’s an entire life without words told so well!!!

13:17 in a short film of Up you can see russel holding into dear life under the house

PIXAR: The masters of making you want to cry in less than 15 minutes into the movie!

1) can’t wait to see you reaction. 2) LIKE IF YOUR DUG GANG!!!!!!

why does Carl look he punches trees and kills dragon for a living? Minecraft reference for those who don't get the joke

I hope its in your plans to react to more disney and pixar movies, its really fun to see your reactions to movies I've loved since childhood, brings a lot of nostalgia tbh

the first ten minutes of up is the go to study for animation and film students, its used as an example by teachers all the time for storytelling without dialogue

Bro, that time-lapse was some of the most saddest shit I've seen and there was no talking at all.

10:58 The thing is, snipe ARE actually real birds (they were often hunted as game) but they look nothing like Kevin and they're more the size of a chicken.

The way his hat flies off when he runs down the hill is what gets me every time

Emotional damage

I love this movie so much. I think you guys would really like Dug Days. It’s really cute and it only has a few short episodes but they are super cute and funny!

The construction worker was voiced by John Ratzenberger, who did a lot of animated voice work, but he also played Cliff Claven on Cheers.

If I had seen this in the theatres and they had rolled the credits after the first 12 minutes, I would have left satisfied that I had seen a truly great movie

Believe it or not the math was done on how many balloons it would take to lift this house and it was over 33 million. And that's not including ripping it off the foundation.

What do y'all think Carl intended to do once he got to the falls? He's too old to hunt and he'll run out of food eventually, he surely would have known that so what do guys think he was gonna do? Some people think he was gonna jump and honestly I think so too. Thats way to dark for a Pixar movie but I feel like if you read between the lines...... yeah.

The guys who made this said that they would need about 20 times as many balloons to make it work

Took me 7 minutes to realize ruff wasn't here

I laugh at the ending of Titanic. I think the criteria for "you are an emotional psycho if you dont cry at this" would be more fitting for the opening to Up. 😂

RIP Ed Asner, you were the crotchety old man everyone needed. 🥲

guys who is your favourite member and why is it boom 🤣

The soundtrack you hear in the beginning actually -deservedly- won an Oscar ❤

"It's a little sad." Famous last words

This film carries an extra bit of sadness for me. When the film came out, my Grandfather had just got diagnosed for Lucemia. When I saw the film with my parents we noted how much Carl physically resembled my Grandfather. After he died, it became hard to watch this film because of that resemblance.

28:26 You guys missed the Wilhelm Scream from one of the dogs falling into the river!

Saddest/beautiful opening of a movie ever

R.I.P Ed Asner

masterpiece of a film

That is one thing I would've tweaked is I would've made Charles muntz a teenager at LEAST: implied he's a child adventurer and that's why it was so cool he did all this, in contrast to the life Carl had.

Up is my favorite Die Hard sequel.

correct me if im wrong, but like, ive never seen another (relatively new) pixar/disney movie with a gun in it, and that makes it even more cool for me (for some reason)

17:26 oh my gosh it is, how have I not noticed that before 💀

Fenton's is an actual ice cream place in California. Actually some of the best stuff I've had.

The older I get, the more I feel that pain in the beginning. Time seems to be flying by faster and faster, and I hate it. I'll have no one day.

I'd love to see yall watch ratatoullie

One of the few absolutely perfect movies. sniff

Thx for the reaction

The first 10 minutes hits you like a crash test dummy hitting a brick wall going 90 mph with no seatbelt or airbags.

After that tent pole slap, Russel looking like a little Zoro from One Piece. lol

Rest In Peace to Ed Asner, Carl's voice actor

40:42 English? XD

Guess Monday is a good day to cry

In Jurassic park 2 I remember everyone being 76 times as sad when the dog died compared to when the hundredish people died before

Garden Hose single handedly carried this movie.

Me everytime anyone watches this movie for the first time: "laugh it up, yeah, yeah, laugh it up while you still can" And then just watch the tears

This is a classic!

Bro I can barely see the movie and I’m bawling my eyes out

@Nani no anime. Have you seen the anime Maquia? That a pretty good emotional movie too

Someone did the calculation and said that it would actually take fewer balloons for this to happen. I know it's online somewhere lol

I have never cried during a movie but this is the closest I've ever been

One of the best Pixar movies beyond doubt ❤

I knew these people had some emotions in them.

This movie came out when my mom was 19
