In the realm of most admired companies, I have to think Pixar must be considered a top contender.  I saw Up last night and just like every other Pixar film, it excels in every way.  It is one of the more “cartoony” Pixar movies but that doesn’t take away from the film in the least.  Pixar has an extraordinary talent for taking a brilliant and original story and turning into a cinematic masterpiece.  If it needs to be more fantastical or “cartoony”, so be it.

Much like Wall-E before it, Up has a near perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.  The reviews were so positive across the board that there was actually a running story last week as to whether it would receive any negative reviews.  Needless to say, I am not going against the popular sentiment — Up is an excellent movie and is one more notch on Pixar’s perfect record.
