• Balloons and Flight – Carl’s house and Muntz's dirigible presented the filmmakers with two different problems—how could they make a physical impossibility possible? And, in the case of the dirigible, how would they unearth a fallen giant and let it soar?
• Composing for Characters – Composer Michael Giacchino returns to score his third Disney Pixar feature film. See how the Up filmmakers collaborated with Giacchino to create the memorable score and compelling musical themes.
• Married Life – The original story concept that became the powerful “Married Life” scene, showing Carl and Ellie’s love story.

Quote: Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios take moviegoers up, up and away on one of the funniest adventures of all time with their latest comedy-fantasy. Up follows the uplifting tale of 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. Their journey to a lost world, where they encounter some strange, exotic and surprising characters, is filled with hilarity, emotion and wildly imaginative adventure.

It's not even been released here in Australia yet! Can't wait for this one.
Hopefully it'll be all-region, as releasing the thing theatrically in the UK in October is really taking the p1ss.

The Wilson BrosIf ever there's been a BD release with 'Region A' looming all over it, it's gotta be this one. 'Up' still has to open in most international markets. I have seen it twice and I gotta say it is the Pixar movie I've enjoyed the most after 'The Incredibles'. 3D didn't bring much though.

Pixar just keep going from strength to strength. Haven't seen it but absolutely can't wait.
Pixar films are the only films I'll blind-buy nowadays.

Unfortunately, not a single chance, Disney was instrumental in requiring region-locking for the Blu-ray format to prevent imports. They are region-free for some of their catalog titles or simultaneous releases but they are region-locked for everything else.

Can't wait to buy this one. Hopefully it includes a 3-d version, since I saw it in 2d. lame.
So far this is still my favorite movie of 2009. First day purchase for me.
Holy s**t that opening sequence / montage was devastating. Another great one from Pixar.
Now lets just hope Toy Story 3 can at least come close to the first two.

Best animated film since "Finding Nemo" and "WALL-E." Definitely first day for me.
First-day blind buy for me. For some reason the geniuses in charge of distribution at Disney thought it would be a wise move to hold off the movie another 6 months in the rest of the world outside the US, long after movie summer season. Only makes me glad I have AnyDVD to strip the region coding.
The artwork was somewhat "meh", though.

This is one of the best, if not the best, movie of the year, and definitely the best Pixar movie of them all. Everything about it was perfect. Can't wait to watch again on DVD. And while I hope they do include 3D, I'd be perfectly fine viewing this in 2D because the movie was good enough without the extra dimension.

Really overrated but still a good movie.

that pretty much describes every Pixar movie. i still cant get over the fanboy-ness over that studio, its pretty funny. anytime they announce a movie, those people are already hooked and expecting it to be a masterpiece. sorta reminds me of the whole Avatar thing.
me, i like to wait and see a trailer before deciding if i think something looks good. anyway i havent seen this but it looks cute, i'll definately check it out once its on tv a couple months after the home video release.

Wow, 4 discs for the Blu edition? A bit overkill, isn't it? I mean who needs the DVD if you have the Blu-ray, and I'm getting really tired of those digital copies... I'm curious to see the price tag on this baby.
I'll buy it on black friday, or perhaps before Christmas, on sale.

One of my biggest problems with the film was that there were times where Pixar was trying to force all the drama on the kids. Like for example, was it really nessecery to know that Russel's parents are divorced? It was good but there was honestly no point to all the drama, Wall-E barley had any.
Pixar can do no wrong in my book. Everything they touch turns to gold.

I doubt it Ratatouille was locked as it was not out in the UK at the time

Again, the pricing will KILL us...

Children aren't idiots, they can handle drama. Also, Wall-E had the little matter of THE END OF THE WORLD. Are you sure you know what the word 'drama' means?

Definitely better than Finding Nemo. Still Cars is my favorite PIXAR flick.

Personally, I hope they don't because the DVD market isn't up-to-par with the new-school 3-D yet and Up would look terrible in the reg/blue glasses 3-D style.

Pixar has its strong films and its weak ones. This definitely looked like a good one. I'll be renting it as soon as it comes out.
Yikes. I love Pixar but that's quite a steep price tag on the BD, even with the DVD and digital copy...
Fantastic film!!!!! Pixar can do no wrong. Definitely will be picking this up. The relationship montage made me tear up as well as plenty of hilarious scenes (with dogs).

Every single film Pixar has made has made has scored above 90% positive among critics with the exception of Cars, which "only" scored 75% positive. That, and a $241 million per-film average totaling $2.4B DOMESTICALLY, means that it sure as hell isn't just a fanboy expectation.
So if you can show me another studio with that kind of critical and commercial track record, then I'd concede that the hype isn't warranted for their flicks.

So this would play on a UK blu-ray drive on a laptop if I purchase AnyDVD?
