I know I'm in the minority, but this is not one of my favorite Pixar movies. It was just a little too depressing for me.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see it, but I reference the dog-translating collar all the time.

Ooooh I love Up! I love all of the talking dogs, especially Doug :) It's very sad at the start, though!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so adorable, and for as much money as it made, I am surprised I never heard of it until now. I really do live under a rock.
