Give it up for UP!

Sun May 31, 2009, 9:24 AM


My review (lazily copied from my Facebook), guaranteed 100% spoiler free for your pleasure:

This may seriously be Pixar’s best movie, which is saying a lot, considering the amazing quality of all of their works. Once again bucking the usual trend of American animated features, director Pete Docter and crew refuse to dumb things down for kids, focusing instead on telling a great story that can be enjoyed by all.

This movie pulls out all the stops. We have endearing characters (the humans, for example, feel far more human than most characters in live action movies, and the dogs are probably the best movie dogs ever). In the midst of its very fantastical concept, the story effortlessly runs the gamut between drama, action and, most of all, humor (I don’t mind admitting that it brought tears to my eyes more than once, and only some of those times were because I was laughing so hard).

In Roger Ebert's review, he compared this movie in some ways to the works of Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki. I couldn't agree more, and that's perhaps the highest compliment this film can be paid.

This is one I simply must see again in theaters (and I hope my next viewing is in 2D, because the whole 3D thing just doesn’t add that much to the experience for me). And I’m sure I’ll be seeing it a few hundred more times after that over the next few years.

Don’t miss this one, people!

No doubt I'll be doing some sort of fan art soon...and if you've seen it, what did you think?!

No problemo! Love it all!
My god, your art is amazing! I found your blog and spent ages looking through it, and then I followed the link to here and have spent even more time looking at everything here! You are a wonderful artist and I hope you never stop drawing those wonderful illustrations of yours! <3

Nomnomnom. I am in your fridge. Eating your cheese.

No, Really. Go Check. Now.
Wow, thanks for such a kind review! You've made my day...hope you continue to enjoy what you find here. :)
Trust me, I will continue enjoying all your art, and I do hope you get that webcomic up and running, I know I'd be a frequent visitor. You're such an inspiration to me, being a self taught artist. I just now had the opportunity to go to art school and just completed my first year, but prior to that I was completely self taught, though I never got as good as you. Keep up the amazing art! I am so watching you now. :P
