Up

Up is definitely one of the cutest movies that I have ever seen. Not only is it cute, but it also holds many lessons. From the very beginning, we see the touching love story between Carl and Ellie. Even though there are no words, it is one of the most touching moments in an animated movie. You can truly see how much they love each other and that they would do anything for each other. It also shows and reiterates that love can last a lifetime. We also learn that a love for adventure cannot be restricted by age. Carl finally gets to go on the adventure that he had planned with Ellie and he does not let anything slow him down. This is important not only relating to age, but also relating to never restricting our dreams. It is never too late to go out and fulfill them, and it is never too late to start chasing our dreams. Another lesson that we are taught is that you do not have to be blood to be family. Carl and Russel go through a lot together and eventually become very close. From the beginning to the end of the story we see an amazing transformation of Carl in regards to his attitude toward Russel. At the end of the film he even presents him with his Ellie Badge. I believe that this movie is important for many people to see. Even though many believe that a children’s film cannot teach them something new, it is able to stress the importance of many things in life. I think many people get so caught up in what they think they can’t do that they miss out on many amazing things. Also, many people restrict themselves to things that they are familiar with. It is important to branch out and learn what the world has to offer. If you are able to do this, you will meet new people, explore new places, and do things that you never dreamt were possible. If you have not seen it, I highly recommend this movie to watch with your family.
