a) Apprently it was very well received at Cannes b) The "fat superhero" ads for The Incredibles were awful. The movie was great c) The "UP" ads I've seen are actually pretty good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cartoons are for kids, so anything animated _must_ mean that grownups in the audience are only in attendance to chaperon children. Old shtick, your pedophile baiting doesn't work, nutjob.

Just saw "UP". Very much a movie for grownups perhaps even more than kids, very poignant.

True. Being Richard Anderson, now THAT'S a valid reason to have to go out wearing a trenchcoat and sunglasses to hide the shame.

My son took his kid to it, and he just told me that parts of it were just to emotionally mature for the kids to get. He heard a couple of kids asking the adults, "Where did the woman go?" They didn't understand that she had died. I'm hoping it does well, so studios will be encouraged to make more of this sort of thing.

I agree; I'm a big fan of movies that befuddle kids.

But the kids will love Dug the dog and Kevin the bird, so it will all balance out.

I thought the dogs were hilarious. They had, of course, the scene with dogs playing poker, which was expected, but funny. I think I was the only one to get it at the end when the old man and the kids were sitting on the street spotting cars with certain colors and the dog chimes in one "grey one!" Funny. Lots of little inside things like that most little kids wouldn't get. Good overall adult theme, too, realizing your dreams, letting things go, and ultimately knowing what is really important in life. Interesting that they had an Asian voice actor playing the kid, too, who looked kind of Asian, but didn't sound like it.

Very good. Not the maiden princess fairy tale stuff that we so often get.
