If you haven’t seen…

… Disney-Pixar’s Up do yourself a favor and watch it just as soon as it’s available on DVD – release date is November 10! (trailer)

Settle in for a wonderful story about a sad, lonely widower fighting off developers who want his land. Carl, the widower, has a plan which executes perfectly, except that young Russell inadvertently goes along for the ride.

You’ll meet a whacky bird, dogs outfitted with collars that translate their barks into human speech (”Squirrel!”), and a demented adventurer. The story is bittersweet; the laughs are for all ages.

This one gets five stars and the LG calls it a keeper.
