Spellbinding, Uplifting, Enlightening !

(**** out of ****) With all the elements of a classic film, this is a movie-lover's delight. Mixing the nostalgia of the 20's 'newsreels' along with a good-old fashioned adventure film, this movie has something that everyone can enjoy. Ed Asner plays Carl Fredrickson, a crotchedy old man who has since lost the luster and zest for life he once had meets likeable, energetic Russell, a boyscout hoping to earn his 'Senior Citizen' badge. The story is multi-layered and tugs at one's heartstrings with its adult themes of death and loss, and there are touching messages sprinkled throughout the movie. I also found the movie profound in its lesson of letting things go and not allowing negative elements or earthly 'things' to weigh you down. Once you let the past go, you can 'rise' to new heights. Friendship, loyalty, good vs. evil, everything you have come to expect from a Disney film, and even more. Even the featurette is delightful ! It is a must-own for Pixar fans and Disney lovers alike.
