About
As of 2026, it's 17 years old.
Up opens with a four-minute, dialogue-free montage of an entire marriage — joy, loss, and grief — so quietly devastating that it routinely reduces grown adults to tears before the actual plot even starts. Then it becomes a delightful adventure about a grumpy widower floating his house to South America with balloons and an accidental boy-scout stowaway.
The flying house, the talking dog ('Squirrel!'), and that opening sequence made it one of Pixar's most beloved and emotionally lethal films.
Beautiful, adventurous, and quietly heartbreaking, Up is the cartoon that breaks you in the first five minutes and then makes you smile for the next ninety.
