![Movie Poster for "Up"](https://www.wired.com/geekdad/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/disney-pixar-up-movie-poster-2-202x300.jpg "Movie Poster for "Up"")1. Will I like it?

Yes, unless you have a heart of stone. This movie tugs at the heartstrings and yet has enough action and humor to keep the kids occupied.

2. Is it anything like other Pixar movies?

Yes, because while it does have amazing visuals–almost a given from this studio–it doesn't forget the story. The movie makes an elderly man as interesting to kids as, well, a garbage gathering robot.

3. Will my kids like it?

I took the nine-year-old twins with me and they were absorbed the entire time. There is a short sequence at the beginning that is a quiet prologue where I thought they might be bored but they liked the little story within a story.

4. It's PG, how PG is it?

I can't think of much that would have pushed it to a PG rating rather than a G. It does deal with adult subjects, like death. The elderly man at the center of the movie is a recent widower and we feel his grief at his wife's death. Those with younger kids should be forewarned, it's a very sad sequence that brought tears to my eyes.

5. What's the best time for a bathroom break?

Probably just after the big storm that sends the floating house off-course. It takes them a few minutes to land.

6. Do I need to sit through the credits for some sort of bonus movie at the end?

There isn't a bonus movie but the credits have postcards of what the boy and his new found friend do when they finally get back to civilization. It is worth staying for.

7. Is the movie good? How does it hold up to other Pixar movies?

I loved it, though not for the same reason as the kids. I loved it because it made me feel deeply for all the characters, especially Mr. Frederickson and Russell, the young boy who joins him on the adventure. The twins loved it most of all for the talking dogs.

8. Will I want to see it again?

I would love to see those sweeping visuals in the 3-D version.

9. Is it loud or scary?

There's one scary part. The boy's new friend, Kevin the bird, is captured by the bad guy, and then the house is nearly burned down. A very dark moment in the movie and my daughter kept asking if the bird would be okay.

__10. Is the ending satisfying? __

Very sweet and satisfying.
