ok, even though this post is an attempt to win a pair of preview screening tix to Disney's "Up", i really have to say that i'm absolutely looking forward to the movie. last night, i caught Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with Ferdi, my cousin Stacey and her mom, and we saw the "Up" trailer before the movie started.
the movie promises to be a ball, to say the least; what with a flying house, an oversized and over-amiable bird, and a talking dog! now Carl, the old guy, is a very intriguing anti-thesis of our average movie protagonist. he's old, cranky and... not very appealing to the movie's target audience of little tikes. BUT. he is a character many people can relate to. even though i don't wanna end up like him, having to fulfill my dreams of adventure when my bones are creaking and my jaw's coming loose, i seriously admire his guts in giving his dream a go, however insane it may seem. i mean, if it does come to that, i would abandon all my cares and go for it, just like him!
and Russell... he kinda reminds me of my days as a girl guide. he's the awkward kid trying to fulfill his one-good-deed-a-day requirement when all of a sudden, he finds himself on an unexpected adventure! lucky him, he's been preparing himself all his short, little life for what's about to ensue! but what's most important about Russell is the goofy, cheery disposition he seems to keep about him. though a little scatter-brained, he's good company on an adventure of a lifetime. =)
on a more somber note, when i watch the movie, i'll be thinking of the 10 yr-old Californian girl who got to watch "Up" before she passed away of cancer. kudos to the folks at Disney Pixar for arranging the special screening and memorabilia for her.
