Up.

The husband and I are very thrifty. Or cheap. And I’m not ashamed of it :) We love watching movies but we always wait until the movies appear on the dollar cinema. No worries, you can laugh ;) We pay $2 for movies on the weekend, or even 75¢ every Tuesday :) It’s not hard to wait most of the times, but when it comes to Pixar movies, it’s hard for me. I’m a HUGE fan of Pixar movies and I was so itching to watch Up that was launched May 29th. Man, that’s such a long time ago, so clearly, I am so incredibly late to be writing this post. Just as the proverb says, better late than never ;)

So, I finally watched Up last week. Even though it’s Pixar, I tried not to have any expectation about the story. All I knew was that this grumpy old Carl guy tied millions of balloons to his house to make it fly. So, when I watched it, I was so blown away, touched, and inspired in many ways.

First of all, i just LOVE looking at the millions of colorful balloons up in the sky. And then there’s that cute vintage looking house of Carl & Ellie. The whole house is just so darling! The wall colors, the decoration, the “Paradise Falls” painting, the mailbox… Everything just made me smile. Delightful.

Love the story, love the graphics, love Carl, Ellie, Russell, and Dug. And the balloons :) It’s totally worth the wait.
