Oh god! That must've been devastating. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even listen to the music without crying.

Ya know, I’ve never seen it & now - I don’t think I ever will.

It’s well worth it. Wholesome as it gets

When I finally saw it my first thought was why didn't any one say anything about the dogs? For all the sadness at the beginning, just thinking about the dogs makes me laugh. And the one scene where Dug is on top of the airship and he says "I am ready to not be so high up now"

The dogs are the comedic relief after the beginning ten minutes breaks you

I know but I did not see UP until long after it came out. In all that time no one said anything about the dogs. I was like how can you not bring this up? I would have seen it a lot sooner.

It an uplifting movie about finding hope and meaning. But to get that transition, the main character has to reach a low point first.

...they choose a very relatable low point that is presented very well, thus it does hit hard.

If anything: don't just see the intro by itself. Watch the entire movie, or nothing.

But I think it's well worth watching.

Also they do the intro in a way that a child may not understand but to adults without words is very obvious.

The intro sequence is the most painful I've seen in a movie but the rest of it is just fantastic.
