#135. Up
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/05/Up_%282009_film%29.jpg
Dir: Pete Docter
Genre: Animated, Comedy, Adventure
Year: 2009

I'm not sure if life has ever been so succinctly encapsulated on film as it is in the first five minutes of Up. I know many people who were weeping by the end of it--a pretty terrific feat for the prologue of a children's movie. But it really is that good and makes it one of Pixar's best for that alone.

Fortunately, the rest of Up is pretty great as well. The 3D animation is actually used in a cool way, though it definitely doesn't need it if you don't have the equipment. The movie has kind of a classical feel to it and it's one of the best films for that "ages 8 to 80" universal audience member. While the emotional depth doesn't hit quite as hard at the end, Up is still the easily most powerful (and best) movie of 2009.
