Up :)

My favourite movie is Up. It's a Pixar production released in 2009, and it was directed by Pete Docter, who also directed Monsters Inc.

The story is about Carl Fredricksen, an old toy balloon vendor who has been recently widowed, Ellie, his wife, was the love of his life. They had a dream since they were children: living in a colorful house above the Paradise Falls, Venezuela, but they couldn't make it because everytime they saved up enough money to do it, they needed to use it in other things. 

Before Ellie died, Carl bought the tickets so they could finally go to Venezuela, but she got sick, and then she died. When Carl found himself alone in their house, he decided to attatch thousands of balloons to it, and travel to Venezuela to place the house at the top of the falls. During the trip, Carl met Russell, a boyscout who was at the porch when the house was elevating; Dug, a dog who had a "human language-barking translating dog collar"; Kevin, a female tropical bird and Charles F. Muntz, Carl’s biggest idol from his childhood.

I love this movie for several reasons. First, when the movie began, I couldn't help myself from crying on the first 5 minutes, when they show Carl and Ellie’s love story. It was very moving. Second, I have an old uncle who looks a lot like Carl and his wife’s name is Ellie, so it’s kinda cool to relate the movie to them. And last but not least, I love Dug and his attention deficit disorder when it comes about… SQUIRRELS. For those of you who don’t know this amazing dog, I leave you his first appearence in the movie
