Pixar's Up is a film that stands out not just for its unique story but for the profound emotional depth it brings to the screen. It’s a beautiful mix of adventure, heartache, and redemption that speaks to audiences of all ages. But, does it still hold up today 15 years later? Wow, that's weird to say. Let's take a look.

The opening montage of Carl and Ellie’s life together is one of the most emotionally potent sequences in recent memory. We watch them grow from childhood sweethearts to an elderly couple, facing the highs and lows of life together. This includes a gut-wrenching moment where they lose their unborn child, a daring move for an animated film but one that pays off in grounding the story in real, relatable human experiences. It’s rare for a film, especially an animated one, to handle such heavy topics with grace and subtlety. Pixar
