2.3.5 Up
The second animation movie is entitled UP. This movie is produced by Walt Disney Picture and directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson.
The synopsis of the movie UP taken from www.kidstvmovies.com
: it starts when Carl Fredricksen, a shy and quiet young boy, meets an energetic and
outgoing bucktoothed barefooted tomboy named Ellie, discovering they share the same interest in exploration as their hero, the then 24-year-old famed explorer
Charles F. Muntz. Ellie expresses her desire to move her clubhouse to Paradise Falls in South America, a promise she makes Carl keep. Carl and Ellie wed and
grow old together in the old house where they first met while making a living as a toy balloon vendor and a zookeeper respectively. Unable to have children, they
also try to save up for the trip to Paradise Falls but other financial obligations arise. Just as they seem to finally be able to take their trip, Ellie dies of old age,
leaving Carl living alone in their home as a sour recluse with nothing to live for and missing his wife terribly. As the years pass, the city grows around Carls
house with construction as Carl refuses to move. After a tussle with a construction worker over Carls broken mailbox, the court orders Carl to move into Shady Oaks
Retirement Home. Carl comes up with a scheme to keep his promise to Ellie, and uses his old professional supplies to create a makeshift airship using tens of
thousands of helium balloons that lift his house off its foundations. After a storm throws them around for a while, they find themselves landing on a
great plateau across a large ravine facing Paradise Falls. With their body weight providing ballast allowing Carl and Russell to pull the floating house, the two
begin to walk around the ravine, hoping to reach the falls while theres still enough helium in the balloons to keep the house afloat. As they walk towards
Paradise Falls, Russell finds a colorful tropical flightless bird, which he names Kevin, not realizing that the bird is actually female. They later run into a dog
named Dug wearing a translating collar that lets him speak. They discover Dugs owner is an older Charles Muntz, who has returned to South America with his
immense dirigible for several decades to find and bring back a large species of bird which turns out to be Kevin in order to restore his reputation after bringing
back a skeleton of the bird and being called a fraud because scientists thought he faked the evidence. Muntz invites Carl and Russel into his dirigible and Carl is
initially thrilled to meet his hero. However, when Carl realizes that Muntz is after Kevin and will kill without a moments thought in order to capture her alive, he
takes steps to save the bird and escape from Muntz.
