Up, Up and Away!

So a new Pixar movie, called "Up", is coming out in May.  Hooray!!

There is an article in the NY Times about it that amused me greatly:

"The film, about the adventures of a cranky 78-year-old who ties thousands of balloons to his house, features dazzling animation that evokes the work of Hayao Miyazaki, the refined Japanese filmmaker and anime master

Hmmm

I have to say I saw the previews and wasn't impressed, but you might have a point. Somehow, the idea of a grouchy old man who flies away in his house doesn't grab me.

I figure - it's Pixar. No guarantees, but I'm still assuming the best unless proven otherwise.

There is also the fact that a grouchy old man playing chess with himself was one of my favorite Pixar shorts :-)
