2009: The Animated Royalty of UP
Manage episode 344392659 series 2865408
Pixar's "Up," released in 2009 to a box office gross of over $735,000, was one of only three animated movies of all time nominated in the Academy Awards' Best Picture category. That must mean it's an automatic top-five film of the year ... right?
In this episode, Mike and Brian talk talking dogs, grumpy old men and sad moments framed by colorful balloons. They break down their expectations for animated films, then decide whether to keep or kick this one, directed by Pete Docter, from its Oscar pedestal.
