Away He Goes

Every single time Disney and Pixar get together, what they do is magical.

Without fail, they deliver films that are beautiful, creative, stimulating…. They are pretty much perfect.

And when they open their films during the hotter months of the year, they offer movie audiences everywhere what must the rarest of summer treats: something that everyone likes.

Up, which opened the Cannes Film Festival earlier this week and – yay! – arrives in theaters on May 29, tells the story of a grumpy old man (voiced by Ed Asner) who ties thousands of balloons to his old house so he can float away on an adventure to South America.
