10:48 Mythbusters tried this if I'm not mistaken, there was an episode dedicated to animated movies. Also, two British engineers from National Geographic tried it and were successful. The video is somewhere on UA-cam.
React to Who Framed Roger Rabbit movie next
Up is one of my favorite Disney movies that took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride I was not prepared for. Loved your reaction as usual 🔥❤
Big Hero 6, you should watch it, its amazing.
"3 idiots", "Baghban" these two are bollywood movies. 1st one is a master piece (8.4 imDB). But I can't recommend these two enough.
You know good thing diamond dave mentioned it was really a amzing work on graphics considering 2009, because now there are so many tools for VFX and graphics (like blender, UE... soon) but back in 2009 it was sheer hard work, they had to built it up from scratch.
i cried when ellie wrote : i had my own adventure, now go make yours" she probably couldnt achieve certain things like have babies and go to paradise falls but she able to live happily with fredrickson and that is more than enough....love it.
She wrote: thanks for the adventure. Now go have a new one! Love- Ellie
As a kid the opening didn't quite get me as much as everyone else, I FEEL IT MUCH MORE NOW, but that moment really hits much harder, because married life was more an adventure for her than going to Peru
@@michaelboydston313Venezuela, actually. (It’s shown on the tickets.) Peru was just another destination advertised at the travel agency.
Don't know if someone said this before but:
Carl only wears bow-ties because Ellie always used to do his ties and after her death, he didn't know how to put on his ties.
So he started using bow-ties.
At the end of the tie sequence it shows Ellie straightening his bow tie.
@Meagan Robbins maybe it's the last tie she ever did for him so he never takes it off
I see why…
No one said it because it's lies. He moved from ties to bow ties while she was still alive.
@@HelTra91Maybe Ellie couldn’t tie his ties for him anymore without pain or just an overall difficulty with it, so he made it easier for her by wearing bowties.
The opening scene to this movie makes me CRY everytime..even when I know what to expect, it's one of the saddest Disney/Pixar scenes ever 🥲
opening sequence*
Guaranteed, never fails, no chance I'm not crying.
This opening and Big Hero 6 had me bawling. Also, Wall-E and How to Train Your Dragon. Pixar are phenomenal at teaching you lessons and making you bawl your eyes out at the same time XD
@@deadsetondreams1988 Oh definitely...& Big Hero 6 had me crying at the beginning and ending! I think they plan to watch it next along with Coco.
The first bit is it's own short. Love it. The rest of the film. Cute, but ... two different films.
The opening scene is nothing short of a masterpiece! It hit me so hard when I first saw it & many years later it still makes me cry!
I cried before it even happened because i knew ;(
I was bawling and had to take a break. I had just had my son and it was too much. My husband came out to me screaming at the tv through tears “Why would they do this?! What is wrong with Disney?!” I finished the movie and then started crying again over the first 8 minutes.
Me too ladies 🤧 Me too, I didn’t expect to cry watching this reaction but you get what you get 🤷🏽♂️😂
how to make a sad sequence even sadder: ua-cam.com/video/ttXrb2tRNm0/v-deo.html
You and every other Pixar fan, myself included. Lol Pixar is SO good at story telling with their music scores, the opening of this movie is such a beautiful example of how to do it well.
I love that you can tell how much Russell appreciates the Ellie badge, too. He didn't know her and he has no reason to really value this random grape soda cap badge, but he can tell that it means something to Carl, so that means something to him and I just think that's really sweet.
I think a lot of peopke over look that, good catch
Okay this comment just made me cry.... Not lying , I have to wipe my eyes typing this.... ❤️😭
The album gets me every time. He thinks she never got to live her adventure and it turns out she saw her whole life as an adventure because she was able to share it with him. Her true love. Gets me every time ❤️
Life is an adventure.
The Married Life shown in the beginning was her Adventure all along
Ughhh I had managed to keep it together the entire reaction...kinda. but this comment just made me cryy🤧❤
Not sure if you guys picked up on it, but fun fact: Dug was able to find Kevin so easily despite being seen as an idiot by the other dogs because he's the only breed there that's a true hunting/tracker dog. All the other dog breeds are guard dogs, so they're not as good at tracking.
Absolutely great point. Being literally a retriever they were bred to retrieve shot down ducks and birds etc.
What I love the most about this movie is simply… Mr. Fredrickson himself. He can be grouchy yet hilarious, sincere, has funny quotes, and yet he is caring, relatable and emotional at the same time. Ed Asner's performance is the real deal.
RIP
He's such a versatile actor as well, he's absolutely phenomenal as Mr. Wuncler in The Boondocks.
And as Hudson in The Gargoyles, and Lou Grant in The Mary Tyler Moore Show…. He was a multigenerational legend, and one of a kind.
Watching Oak cry made me cry again. I remember when this came out. The emotional rollercoaster we take with this movie is just a beautiful ride.
Oaks description is just so relatable - when we cleaned out my Grandma’s things I remember thinking “it’s just stuff without the people I love to hold it” and it made it way easier to let go of everything except for the most-special personal pieces. I feel like he picked up on the heart/ moral of the story more deeply than maybe some of the other guys. That what Ellie came to realize before she died - building and spending your life with someone IS it’s own adventure and it may not be the one you THOUGHT you would be on but maybe it was the most IMPORTANT one for you to ever have. It’s not about the big grand moments - but the little moments that makes up the sum of a life. The most important thing in life isn’t the money or stuff we have but the PEOPLE we surround ourselves with. Friends, family - loved ones.
At 6:24, seeing his hands reach his face, I realized something is different for him... Then it came the rapid blinking, and, at 6:40, he looked directly into the camera. You can see the emotion in his eyes! Such a sweet man!
“ I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most”. That got me.
Oak seems like such a genuinely sweet guy, always gives my favourite reactions and awesome insight 😄
Agreed. They all are
@@artistimd2497 for sure, hard not to pick favourites though haha
I always love what he has to say as well!
I only listen to him
He's wholesome
I didn’t cry during the whole Carl and Ellie sequence. What destroyed me was the bit of Carl using the faulty chair lift. I had just lost my maternal grandfather right before this movie came out and this was the first movie Mom and I went to after the funeral. We both like Ed Asner. Well, we did fine during the whole Carl and Ellie life together section. But when Carl got in the chair lift... we both just bawled because in the final year and half of his life my grandfather had to have his leg amputated and we watched him go up and down on his chair lift every day, several times a day. The minute he started traveling down the stairs Mom and I looked at each other and then back to the screen and absolutely lost it.
We actually lost my maternal grandmother this year. And my maternal aunt, and maternal uncle (brother, not husband). So it’s been a hard year for Mom and I.
I’m glad I decided to check out this reaction though.
While our situations are different, I had a similar moment during a different movie. My friend had horribly passed away, and I was good about only crying when others weren't watching. He was the only friend I've known to pass away and it was a complete shock for me. He had a twin brother too, and I just felt horrible for how he must have been feeling about it all. For some reason, though, I just completely lost it while watching Toy Story 3 with my dad toward the end of the movie with the trash scene. We had to stop the movie for a bit while I just bawled my eyes out, he didn't know my friend passed but I definitely had to explain what was going on at that moment.
While not as severe I was going through a breakup, and my mom took me to see The Woman in Black with Daniel Radcliffe. I was just crying for the 1st half of the movie so I don't remember much of what happened. I need to definitely revisit that movie for sure. It certainly happens so I understand *hugs I hope you are doing better now
@@deadsetondreams1988 I’m truly sorry for your loss. I can understand how that scene made you emotional though. The handholding and final looks to each other.... yeah, it’s a gut-punch moment.
I can’t imagine how the surviving twin felt. Seeing “yourself” in a casket has to be a terrible head trip. I would have been so worried about their emotional state afterward.
sorry for both of your experiences
aww hope y'all okay
Yes Oak EXACTLY! Paradise Falls was a coping mechanism Karl used to help Ellie move through her grief. It was never about the location, it was about the journey, in the end their beautiful life together WAS Paradise Falls. Beautiful movie with a beautiful message, glad you all enjoyed it ❤
Oak is the toughest biggest guy here. And he was the one the movie affected most. I appreciated that he opened up and isn't afraid to let that show like most guys are. He's the most quiet too. He sits and enjoys the movie. This is my first time watching. So far he's my fav. Everyone else is great. He's just super grounded. (LOL oak)
I still love the detail that Carl wasn't always an old grump, nor was it that he and his wife were always incomplete without that trip. They had a complete and fulfilled life, Carl just lost sight of that when such a loss coincided right when he was about to take her somewhere they've wanted to go since they were kids.
He had plenty of time to take her between the last time they opened the jar and when she died, they were just so content with their life they didn't need it. He may have forgotten that in his grief, but his adventure and seeing the memories of his wife as he really remembered her, happy, reminded him.
That opening montage is notorious, and often used in try-not-to-cry challenges. I can't get through it with dry eyes.
I love all the comparisons to other love stories.
E.g. "Pixar showed a better love story in 5 minutes than all 3 Twilight movies."
you could really tell how much this story impacted Oak. always love his reactions and reflections.
Michael Giacchino nailed the score in this one. (He also did Pattinson's Batman which he also nailed).
Didn't know this was Giacchino. Makes sense though. Really love the movie and score. Always crying and laughing a lot while watching it.
@@FrolleinMiez Yes! So many emotions. He's one of my top 3 composers (movie wise)
Has Giacchino ever missed?
Yess! He did the show LOST too!!
And "Inside Out".
Okay, I never wanted to see this movie again because of how bad I cried the first time. BUT... I will watch it alongside you guys just to see your reactions. 🥰😭
Lets gooooo
😃
@@BaddMedicine Loved your reactions so much! 🥰 And I'm crying again, especially listening to The Oak's comments. This movie really hit hard for so many people. It was just amazing. And I use "squirrel!" at least twice a month, lol! God bless you all!
I watched this movie in theaters.I recall....once the beginning act was over, and Carl's alarm was going off...I had this sensation that I had lived a whole life, and the alarm was the start of a new life.
Also Pixar really showed off their storytelling chops in that opening. From two goofy kids to a couple that Pixar was able to make us ADORE so much that you were devastated, emotionally crushed at the end. All with no dialogue. Master visual storytelling.
I’d also love to point out that Carl and Ellie could never have children of their own, and in the end, Russel basically became an adopted son to Carl. Russel’s father is also never around, and in Carl, he gained a father figure. The ending where they’re sitting on the curb and counting the red and blue cars makes me sob every time.
And the grey ones! 😁
RIP Ed Asner, the voice actor of Carl among many other countless roles.
This is a movie with little hidden gems you see watching it multiple times, such as at Elle and Fredricksons wedding, her side were whooping and hollering while his side was quiet and content, just like the couples personalities. I love this movie and it was a real pleasure watching you fellas enjoy it as well.
Reminds me a little of the wedding scene in Raising Arizona. haha
I never noticed because I'm transfixed by the happy couple. I'll look next time.
I love how Russel asked Eliie if they can keep Kevin and Carl actually knew she would allow it. That was a brilliant moment.
The court thing is something big companies will sometimes do. They basically say, "Heeeeey, you give us the land, and we will drop the charges! An act of good faith!" Or say, "He doesn't seem dangerous, and we will drop charges if you move him out to a retirement home." It's a way to strong arm their way into getting property and what not
They'll even pay for the move and sometimes several months/years in the home.
Dug's squirrel joke just killed me. And giving Russel the Ellie at the end made me want to cry. Humor, emotion, action, great animation; it really is a perfect film.
Michael giacchino won the oscar for this movie's soundtrack. He is an absolute genius
A detail to notice is that Dug was the only dog to find Kevin due to him being an actual tracker dog, while the other dogs Muntz sent where all guard dogs.
You could really tell how choked up Oak was during this and this movie hits me a lot differently now than it did when I first watched it and a lot of what Oak shared really resonates with me now. My mother is suffering with early onset dementia and every time I call home I can feel her slipping further and further from herself. I am an only child and moved to Japan back in 2008 because it had always been my dream and my parents always encouraged me to go after my own dreams and adventures. Even now as she struggles with basic motor functions, she is still proud of me for going after my dreams and making a life for myself over here. I was doing a bit of cleaning the other day and came across a canister of tea she had sent me all the way back when I had first moved here, tea that she used to make me every night to help me go to sleep, and the tea was weeeeeeeeeeell beyond its expiration date. I started crying because it was something tangible to my mom before she became really ill and my oldest son (age 9) came over to me and gave me a hug. He reminded me that I wasn't sad over the tea specifically and it was more about missing my mom/a reminder of how she is slipping away and that I will always have the memories and love from her with me even if the tea bags are gone. He suggested I keep just one of the wrappers for now as something small to hold on to but that I didn't "need" it, but maybe it would help me cope with my grief.
Thanks again for another fun time, gentlemen
When I lost my older brother I didn't cry for my loss, I cried for the loss of potential life and love that ended there.
I lost my mother after a long fight with dementia and related illnesses. I came to appreciate the small moments of clarity when "my mom" came through and all the memories I have from our time together.
Pixar really trying to wreck the audience right out of the gate on this one. Lol. But I really respect that they're telling a story that would usually end where it began. It's like a post 'happily ever after' thing...because in real life the real drama happens after 'happily ever after'. Love Oak's honesty and vulnerability in these reactions. It's very generous. Do worry a bit...just hoping he doesn't burn out digging up that emotional stuff all the time. Great reaction, though. Finding Nemo still my personal favorite Disney/Pixar. But this one was top notch as well. 💖
Glad you guys loved it. It's awesome. I love how Russel is like the child that Carl and Ellie never had. So good.
Wow, you're right! Never thought of that, but it makes so much sense...you hit the nail right on its head!
@@katieblake3023 Thanks!
Before "Up" was released a couple wrote Disney telling of their dying child who just prayed to live to see the release. Disney sent the film, gifts and I think they sent Mickey too and did a watch party for the family. And the child did die before it hit theaters.
Nancy Scogin: Wow
The girl was named Colby Curtin, and it seems a Pixar employee (not Mickey) took the DVD and gifts and went over in person. Apparently the girl died the same night! 😢
Oh gosh...UP is one of the best Disney movies. Everyone balled their eyes out during the opening credits because none of us were prepared. 😭😭😭
I really appreciate that no one pokes fun at The Oak when he or anyone else cries during these.
Oh, woah! I didn’t realize this was the group’s first Pixar movie! There are going to be a lot of great reactions if Pixar continues being featured. A Bug’s Life, Cars, Monster’s Inc., and of course Toy Story and more.
The boring things really are the things you remember most. The way they sing while doing chores. The smell of them baking for the holidays. The hair grease they used. The little things that still catch you off-guard when you hear a snatch of music or catch a fleeting scent in the air and suddenly you’re in grandma’s living room again or on that yearly fishing trip with Uncle Bobby. That scene was a sucker punch when I wasn’t expecting it and it reminded me how much I take the little things for granted.
Even though the adventures they had planned didn't happen, it doesn't mean they didn't have amazing adventures together - Ellie showed Carl that focusing on an adventure you didn't get to have shouldn't prevent you from seeing what you did achieve ❤
And that it doesn’t matter what SIZE of adventure you have - whether it be renovating a house or traveling in remote places - they’re just two different kinds of adventure. And I think that’s exact what Ellie was telling him in her album
A fun fact about the final scene: Pixar headquarters are in Emeryville, CA and while making this movie, animators would sometimes go to lunch at a restaurant/creamery in Oakland called Fentons. They added it into the movie and the scene of Carl and Russell sitting on the curb in front of it is framed in the restaurant now
The opening scene. Always brings me to tears
Oak is so open and brave about sharing his emotions, it's rare. There must be love in that room cushioning him 🖤
when i was a kid i never really properly understood the beginning so it didn’t make me cry. of course i understood that his wife had died but comparing to watching it now as i’m more mature, finding out why they actually went to the doctors and why they were sad really hit me. Now everytime i watch this movie i cannot stop crying during those moments now that i finally understand what was going on
I went from business owner to homeless very quickly. Homeless for 2.5 years until I got housing. It's amazing how much you learn about yourself and life. It's amazing how much useless clutter we hold on to, how much we can tolerate, and how much we can appreciate a hot meal if we just recognize what we have instead of what we want.
Easily my fav part was when he gave Russell the Ellie badge. Passing on the torch and I feel like it's even more impactful than throwing out his furniture.
If you guys enjoy animated "kids" movies, you should watch Encanto next! It came out last year and already became my favourite movie of all time after just one watch. It also teaches some lessons that have saved me from dark thoughts more than once. I'm also glad you liked Up, though, as it's also one of my favourite movies :)
Once I watched Encanto with my kids last Christmas break, we just could not stop watching it and listening to the music over and over again. It is such a powerful film and it helped me a ton when I was struggling too.
I think the music is Frozen 2 is extraordinarily impactful also and so so much deeper than even the storyline itself (though that too is much more mature than the first film). And the exploration of family dynamics and the power of relationships in Coco is also quite moving. So many times I’ve watched a “children’s movie” and come away feeling like the messaging was speaking directly to me. The power of great storytelling ❤️
@@austengalasmr7026 When we're kids, we mostly notice and pay attention to the colours, music and distinct personality traits, whereas we adults (I'm 30 myself) notice all the details as well. My favourite movies growing up were The Lion King, The Little Mermaid and Hercules, because those movies were colourful and had memorable songs, and that's why I loved them so much. Rewatching those movies as an adult, while I still love and adore those movies, I wouldn't say they are some of my favourites based on storytelling alone. But Encanto definitely has an incredible message and story to tell, and watching it for the first time as an adult didn't make it less magic than if I was a child. Disney really did an exceptional job with Encanto! :)
When I was young(...er) /s
The childhood movies when I was a kid were The Secret of NIMH, Legend, Labyrinth, ET, Neverending Story, etc. Even the cartoon Alice In Wonderland didn't hold back.
AHHH YES, you guys are reacting to Disney/Pixar! If you loved this movie, you'll DEFINITELY love Disney/Pixar's "Coco". That movie never fails to get me crying and laughing. The music and animation (oh, don't get me started on the animation) is INCREDIBLE in that movie. I hope you guys can get to it one day. Thanks again for all the great content and for putting a smile on my face each time! Keep it up :)
YES! Like next week please LOL, many grown men have cried to that movie...
Coco it's good but nothing to cry about , I love the dia de muertos theme but I don't think is that good
@@banzai1783 well I personally do since my family can relate so deeply to the family in Coco. To each his own..
It’s just a beautifully done movie. Film makers really have to have talent to get their audience fully invested in a marriage we really only see a few minutes of at the very beginning. We know this was a great love and this man has lost something truly special in minutes.
Yes, as a matter of fact, the Mythbusters *did* test the lifting capacity of a mass of helium balloons. A mass of balloons the size of a small house was just barely enough to lift a small child.
My favorite Dug bits include him expressing how he would like if the kid stopped messing with the dial, the part where he says "get off the WOOF," and the part where he begs the bird to be his prisoner. Oh, and "Stop you dogs" *gets ignored*
I love this movie so much!
I cry at that first sequence every time even when watching someone react to it!
So powerful and I have a soft spot for the elderly and their story. I always see them walking around outside and wonder what they must be thinking what life they must have lived, do they have someone to cuddle with when it’s cold and then I watch this and the tears come like a tsunami! 🥹
I felt The Oak's emotional reaction to each scene and I can relate to the main reason it hits so hard. My grandparents were together for nearly 60 years and my grandad got dementia, so my nan became his primary carer and I supported when I was there. He also had cancer and declined quite quickly, before being in hospital for a week (expecting him to come out) and we got told there was an unforeseen ruptured aneurysm. My nan, their daughters and I were by his side and I promised I would look after Nan for him. That was 9 years ago and Nan (90s) has had dementia/Alzheimer's for over 2 years, so my mum and I are her main carers. We had to clear out their house over the past year and it was really hard.
They were mild hoarders and they were in that house for their entire married life (and most of my grandad's childhood), so there were decades worth of things to sort through. It was difficult enough for my nan, having only ever lived in two houses her whole life, but her dementia/Alzheimer's made it even more distressing for all of us. She was paranoid we were getting rid of things without her permission, but would tell us not to bring her when we did take her to look through things. She expected to have passed away a long time ago, before the house needed to be cleared, but she stopped really living in there after my grandad passed and her mobility declined. Covid became the perfect opportunity to have her move in because I was going over to check on her regularly and the house had lost it's life. It felt dark and not like it used to. That realisation that Carl came to about the beloved items not being necessary to hold on to was something we struggled to gently persuade my nan. It's not something you can prepare for, not when it's intense. My dad's mum went into a residential home a little while ago and the difference in house clearing was stark. It only took him and his siblings a few days because there wasn't as much sentimental connection to the house or the items in it. It wasn't their childhood home and it hadn't been a huge family hub over the years, so it was much easier to empty. It's really emotional to watch UP, relate to watching an elderly person feel so lost after losing their spouse and see Carl's growth, finding Ellie's permission in her book
This is my wife's favorite movie of all time. The opening piece is called "married life" and during the ceremony we walked in to an orchestrated version of the song. Needless to say, our guests and myself included were tearing up. The opening is such a beautiful piece and cuts hard
Fun fact: this movie was the second animated film in history to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscar’s. The first was Beauty & the Beast
When UP came out I had a chubby yellow Labrador retriever that was the living embodiment of Dug, wiggly and happy. Little kids would stop dead and stare going "look, it's Dug" or "that dog looks just like Dug".
It takes SKILL to make entire theaters break down crying in the first 8 MINUTES of your movie.
But the way this movie absolutely broke me so many times.
I think the message, overall, is that life itself is a grand adventure. You can’t hold onto baggage, so enjoy it and make everyday what it can be. Pixar is brilliant at storytelling. And the beginning and the end bookend so well. I’m always in tears at the beginning AND the end. Beautiful movie. Now, y’all should do Inside Out.
There was a case where a dude who is now known as lawn chair Larry floated his lawn chair with balloons. He even had a case of beer and when he wanted to lower himself he would just pop a few with a BB gun. I believe he ended up getting in trouble though because he drifted into the airspace of an airport thus shutting it down temporarily.
Its now a sport called cluster ballooning.
And Mythbusters tested to see if they could do it in an early episode.
Don't forget; Ellie and Carl could not have children, so Russell's presence is something that Carl first resisted and then embraced. A surrogate son more or less. And that is driven home with the montage of pictures of the experiences they shared at the end, beginning with the pinning of the Ellie badge. This such a great movie filled with metaphor.
This movie will never not make me cry. I've watched it so many times when I was younger but rewatching with you and watching your reactions and insights made me realize a whole lot more. All those metaphors you pointed out that younger me didn't understand before, made this movie even more beautiful.
One of the things I love most about this channel is that I forget how good these movies were and to see them again with new eyes is like seeing them fresh all over again. I agree with your 5.0 answers for the movie and the channel. Good job!!
I feel Oak's commentary. My parents died 1yr apart. My siblings and I kept very few items from their house of 46yrs, only things that were especially meaningful. Everything else was donated or put in the estate sale. They were both teachers & their house...OUR childhood house...was sold to the school district to be used as a teaching of "life skills" to developmentally challenged children & young adults. We know they would have loved that.
"Up" is just a perfect movie. Wonderful choice guys 🥰💖💗💓💞💕
"Before the film's worldwide release date, Pixar granted a wish from 10-year-old Colby Curtin to see the film before she died. Colby had been diagnosed with cancer and was too sick to go to a theater. A Pixar employee flew to the Curtins' house with a DVD of the finished film and screened it for her and her family. Curtin died seven hours later at 9:20 pm, shortly after seeing the film."
the older I get and the more members I add to my family the harder I cry everytime I see this movie ❤
Nice reactions and discussion my Dudes. I cry every single time I watch this movie. And as I get older, it hits harder with every viewing… the days will come when I have to say goodbye to my parents, my mate, my closest friends.
Alright, enough of the mushy stuff. The on going joke is that Pixar told a better and convincing love story in 5 minutes when the whole Twilight series could not! Cheers to you all. Have a great 2023!
I always say adults can learn a lot from”kids” or from animated stories. This is such a beautiful story, about how young people can connect to the hearts of old people, and connecti9n. I always love your guys reactions.
I remember first watching this as a kid! My elementary school gathered all us kids in the gym, sat us criss-cross apple sauce on the floor, set up the projector, and played it for us. Good way to get over 100 kids to cry.
Great reaction! You all are obviously good men of character and heart.
Much appreciated! Thank you!
I was so excited to see this movie when it came out on DVD. At Christmas, I bought copies for me and my wife, my brother-in-law, and my in-laws to watch after Christmas dinner. It was the last movie we watched together before my mother-in-law passed. This was my first time seeing it since.
these videos are so comforting. u guys are literally all my dad
I hate when people say stuff like "oh this movie might make you cry" or "prepare to cry its emotional" because thats lowkey basically spoiling the movie as well. Can people just say its a great movie and let them go into it completely blind?
@@tiaw3423 exactly!
37:15 Fun detail: the dogfighting planes use call signs “Gray 1”, “Gray 2” and “Gray 3” instead of the original Star Wars reference of Red 1, etc as a nod to the fact that dogs are colorblind.
The lesson I learned from UP as a kid: the journey is the destination.
Being a fan of this channel for a while now, I never expected this movie to come up in your reviews…. That being said THANK YOU!! I think it’s awesome that you guys listen to the followers and branch out as much as you do. I watched this movie in the theatres with my grandparents when I was in high school and I remember how hard it was to hold back my tears in the beginning and towards the end when Frederickson finds out Ellie filled out the adventure book all along. I recently watched this movie with my son too. He normally doesn’t sit through movies, but even he couldn’t stop watching this one. Can’t wait for your next uploads!! I hope you guys had an awesome thanksgiving.
I remember when mom passed my father was destroyed. We all were. Then not even 3 months later covid hit and we lost our dad mentally immediately. He felt like he lost all of us cause we couldn't see him due to lockdowns and covid and everything attached to it. And we lost our mom 3 months before everything was fresh. He did great the first year cause we called him everyday and vise versa. Mom was the bedrock of the family and she kept us close. Dad was the defender and fighter of the family. He loved mom very much. He got to see the home he loved so much one more time after mom passed and before he passed himself, when we had to evacuate for hurricane Laura that year. He was so happy to be home he fought us when he had to go back to the nursing home. We just couldn't take care of him alone and he was so stubborn he wanted to do everything on his own but couldn't. He was found the day before he went back in cooking struggling to stand the entire time by the neighbor (she is also gone). When he return he wouldn't stop talking about going home and started fighting the nurses cause he wanted to start walk again so bad. Sadly he ended up in the hospital around spring of 2021 and never left but the 12hrs to a hospice center before he passed. August 4,2021 was when he passed. Mom will be gone 3 years on the 7th. The irony is her birthday is the 31st of December and his is the 21st of August so it's double hits those months when they come around. I'm rewatching this movie myself and it made me choke up in tears. I'm glad you guys finally got to see it. Oak thank you for sharing your story about your dad. I had tears flowing when I watched the movie and laughed at the funny parts choking up lol but I couldn't help but just have the memories flow of my parents when you started talking about your parents. I'm 32 years old and the memories are still sweet and still make me tear up from time to time. Miss them both. Thanks again guys. Keep the good reviews coming even if I do take a few days before watching them myself lol.
When he gave the kid the Ellie badge it made me break down in tears lmao. This movie is so goated man.
i really like The Oak's insights and what he appreciates from these movies. everyone has great commentary but i love how he opens up and relates it to his own life experiences at the end
I've watched this movie a few times already but it always makes me cry. It's such a beautiful message!
And of course, you guys reacting to this gem of a movie is really nice to watch!
Two things I realized about the movie: Carl never knew how to tie a tie, Ellie did it for him, so when she passed, he kept the bow.
Ellie was infertile due to led poisoning. When did she come in contact with led? The paint they used for the house...
This move is so good.
The beginning is so sad, but it's when Mr. Fredrickson gives Russel the "Ellie Badge" that's when I really start tearing up.
Ed Asner was a big television star in the '70s. He played a character named Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and then had his own spin-off show.
This is one of my ALL TIME favorite movies! I actually took 9 months and painted a picture of Carl and Ellie . Can’t wait to watch your reaction.
Years ago, my gf and I went to see Pixar in Concert. Basically an orchestra playing the music to the movies while the movie was playing (no sound of course....just the orchestra). They did UP and for that first part of the movie there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Super weird and fun fact: Charles Muntz was named after Charles Mintz, a former producer of Walt Disney back when he worked at Universal, who Disney had nothing but praise for. In the 1920’s Mintz requested Disney to create a new cartoon character (this was long before Mickey Mouse) and the result was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald couldn’t be Disney’s mascot when Walt left and made his own company because he was owned by Universal, so he created Mickey. Disney would not reacquire the rights to Oswald until 2006 when they traded real life sports commentator, Al Michaels from ABC Sports for the rights, which is why Al Michaels went to NBC Football.
I remember I went to see this in the theater not knowing what to expect and after that opening you could hear people openly sobbing all around, including me. Disney gets you when you are least expecting it!
Pixar. They’re the ones with the heart, not Disney.
Such a cute movie. That opening scene will get you everytime. 🥺
Love the Dobby Funko Pop btw! 💕
Glad you noticed dobby
You're all such softies at heart, and I love it.
The first opening stretch of this movie is one of the best love stories put on film. Period.
carl and ellie's love story ALWAYS gets me... like, literally every single fucking time i watch it. so pure, beautiful and sad
Glad you guys loved this one. It’s so darn beautiful ❤ I hope you guys check out Coco at some point too! That one is a personal favorite of mine (but get ready for tears with that one too!)
One of the hardest gut punching animated movies I’ve ever watched. I was a Boy Scout for years. I was two badges away from Eagle Scout when my parents divorced and turned my life upside down. Great reaction guys!
i love this movie SO much. went into it with my son totally green - did not know what i was in for. we were both a mess by the end but they were happy tears. he’s moved out now, but we still watch it together when we get the chance. ❤️😢🎥
"Up": Carl and Ellie live a full life in 6 minutes, which can move a strong man to tears. Then Russell appears and changes Carl's life...for the better. Next up, The Sputnik Twins from 1999: "October Sky" and "The Iron Giant."
"October Sky" is the Serious movie about coal town teens seeking to escape The Pit with Rocket Science. A tale about family, community, Trigonometry, and Werner von Braun. From the early life of NASA engineer, Homer Hickam Jr.
"The Iron Giant" is an animated feature set in New England, after the launch of Sputnik. An underrated classic with an adventurous kid who finds a giant Alien robot. Vin Diesel has an unexpected role, exiting with: "Hogarth, I go. You Stay. No following."
I watched this movie when I was a kid, and for some reason I found it really depressing.. and I didn't really like it. But now that I've grown up and re-watched it, I understand it better and see that it isn't sad, there's humor and warmth. And now I've got a new perspective to it!
I saw this film in the cinema with my dad the year after my mum died (I was in my mid-teens) - we had no idea it was going to be so emotional going in. It was a great film and it's a really nice memory of time with my dad that was sad but still lovely.
I could talk about this movie for hours. There's a new lesson every single time I watch it - and I have watched it a lot, somehow through the unavoidable tears. This time, watching with you guys, I realised that Carl found adventure by opening his heart to friendship with Ellie as a kid. Ellie brought him new friends and new adventure. It's wild that this bizarre movie can also be so perfect.
Up is a great crying movie; cry from laughing, cry from the hard bits and even a few moments of therapeutic crying from the happy moments. 5/5 for sure.
To this day, UP is my favorite animated movie of all time. Its beautiful
I love this movie. I was a teenager when it came out and my dad had to drive my friend and I to the movies to see it. He asked if he could stay and watch it, too, and I said yes. To not embarrass us (how silly, looking back), he chose to sit separate from us.
He told me he cried so hard at the beginning and again at the end when Carl sees that Ellie DID have adventures with him. 😭 And so now nobody can ever mention the adventure book without my dad and I tearing up.
This film is beautiful and is my favourite Pixar alongside Inside Out. Both pull off deeply emotional, clever, yet fun storytelling that works for kids but also adults too.
I was 17 when I watched this in cinemas and I'm 31 today - it's actually my birthday! This movie has aged with me in a way that very few other films have.
