"Up"

I took the kids to see Disney-Pixar's "Up" on Monday. It's not your typical high energy, full of one liners movie, that you would expect from Disney-Pixar. But it's a "must see" in my opinion.

There's a scene in the beginning that's about five minutes long with no dialogue. When it was over, I guarantee you there was not a dry adult eye in the theatre. The way the artists captured raw emotion without words was amazing.

The movie deals, in an incredible, yet subtle way, with some difficult themes. Really three great take-aways in the movie. 1) Life goes on, even after a dream ends. Find a new dream and go after it. 2) There are people out there that need to be loved and if you don't love them and be there for them, maybe no one will. 3) The person who seems least likely to be able to help you may just be the best person to help you.
