He thought it was brilliant. The scene where Ellie is obviously being told that she can't have babies went right over his head but the 7-year old girl in the next seat told her Mom that "it must be very sad for Ellie". My Grandson had no problem with Ellie dying. He is aware of family members having died and its no big deal for him. This is a superb movie and I agree that the 3-D effects are not too "in your face". The condensing of the early part of the storyline was brilliantly done, and very well explained, with no dialogue, for older audience members. Once the action got going with the baloons lifting the house and taking off for South America it was a film for everybody. Take your children, or better still, your Grandchildren, to see this and learn the lessons being dished out by the director. I had the great pleasure of going to see UP with my 5-year old Grandson.

The storyline is very adult and not suitable for small children. Infertility and death are a part of life but parents need to be aware that their children are seeing content is for mature audiences. My grandson asked, "Why is she crying?" (She can't have babies.) "Why can't she have babies?" "What happened to Ellie?" (She died.) "Why did Ellie die?" "Why is Carl so sad?" "Why is Carl so mean?" "Why did Carl hit that man? etc." "Why didn't the police send Carl to jail, he hurt that man." This movie is audiences who are mature enough to handle the content, it is NOT a movie for young children. I agree with this review completely.

“Why did Ellie die?”
“Why is Carl so sad?”
“Why is Carl so mean?”

“Why didn’t the police send Carl to jail, he hurt that man.”

They said it was good so I am looking forward to seeing it. My aunt and cousin saw this, but I haven’t had the chance yet. They said it was good so I am looking forward to seeing it.
