Up is an amazing movie, the 3D version was great, and found myself crying like five times. I would almoust give it a zix!

I think everyone has a style that they favor in Pixar's catalog. Different directors hit very different, yet equally successful strides. The Incredibles is my favorite (American speaking, sorry for the clumsy spelling :)), but Brad Bird's story telling is different from Pete Doctor's, Andrew Stanton's, John Lasseter's, etc.

Andrew Stanton (for Nemo, Wall-e fans) crafts extremely humanizing stories about love which reach far and wide with their message. That's pretty deep, and sometimes dark, stuff compared to the fast moving adventures that Pete Doctor heads (Monster's Inc., Up).

After 10 releases, it's getting harder and harder to rank any Pixar film against another. Our favorites are going to continue to shift as Pixar keeps putting out challenging, fantastic cinema.

Another vote for Toy Story 2. Loved Up but it definitely didn't quite have the same magic for me.

I'm so glad Pixar are making clever, beautiful and engaging kids films, and it's not just crap like the Ice Age franchise that gets kids into the cinemas.

Toy Story 2 is definately my favourite. Finding nemo comes pretty close though.
btw, "quite possibly the first time blood has made an appearance in a Pixar film"

Finding nemo? dori gets hit in the face and bruce the shark goes mad after smelling blood? you probably mean Human blood though :D

I'd plump for The Incredibles as Pixar's best. Up was magnificent though. My wife is already driving me mad interrupting herself by shouting "Squirrel!" in the middle of a sentence, so thanks for that.

I, and much more importantly my kids, think Fantastic Mr Fox is at least as good – and that is not intended (by any of us) as a slur on Up.

I agree with ricky66. Nemo is good, but I think a little overrated. I wouldn't rank it as high on the Pixar list as most people. There are at least 4 Pixar films, including this one, that I would rank ahead of Nemo. Up is the best movie I've seen so far this year, and I'm looking forward to buying it on dvd.

'It’s Pixar, and that’s enough'
I think this line pretty much sums up how i feel about this film.
Keep'em coming Pixar.
