My wife and I, our neighbors (on both sides) and neighbor across the street....... we all have kids ranging from "New" to 12 years old..... and we all thought it was very "dark" and "deep" for a children's movie (if you want to argue that it's simply not a "Children's" movie, I'd agree, since Pixar always offers up something for the adults too..... but it's targeted at children....)

It does have a lot of happy moments in it...... but most of the movie is a constant reminder of
[Show spoiler] Ellie's death Also, The "broken Home" of the kid.... etc

I agree with you on most points, although I think ultimately the film is uplifting despite that constant reminder. But hey, that's the beauty of film--it can mean different things to different ppl.

I found the two "hurt" characters forming a strong bond to override your spoiler. Yes, they each had scars, but their new partnership moved them past their wounds. IMO

Agree with you Beta. The film is not for young kids. I had a hard time answering the questions my son was asking. He liked the movie, and has watched it a couple of times. Nothing like Ratatouille or Kung Fu Panda though. Up is animation for adults that was marketed for kids. A wonderful film...no doubt.

Yep, I concur. This was not a kids movie. The themes go over many little kids mind. It was very well done and a great movie, but I am not sure I would give it an Oscar.
