Up (2009)
Pete Docter & Bob Peterson

Pixar always delivers quality films, and while viewers are blessed every year with their magic, that also means that there are some pretty high standards expected of each film they make. This was the major problem with Up; yes it was magical, yes it was heartwarming, but unfortunately it does not live up to the likes of Monsters Inc, Wall-E, Finding Nemo, and Toy Story just to name a few.

The voice acting was very convincing, the visuals were stunning, and the music was great. The storyline was good, but not as captivating as its predecessors. The single greatest aspect of this movie was Doug, the hilarious and charming talking dog. Up benefits greatly from the Best Picture expansion to ten films, as it would not get the nomination otherwise. However, Up is definitely a movie you should go out and see with your family, just don't expect it to live up to other past Pixar films.
