You’ll Need These to See ‘Up’….or at least the 3D version. The glasses are definitely not a necessity to enjoy the superb Pixar film – the tenth so far. I took more to heart some of the themes (ageism, closed mindedness) that play out in the picture and the mixture of comedic wit and sincere dramatic cues over the “technology”. Colorful, imaginative and with very little lineage to Albert Lamorisse‘s 1956 classic (The Red Balloon), I was impressed by the depth of field, placement of items within the frame and how long shots and close-ups were used to great affect. Pacing, tone and playfulness make this an easily digestible treat. Pete Docter‘s Up. Full review coming soon.
