I had a chance to take Christine and Daniel to see "Up" the other day. This is the latest Disney Pixar film and like its predecessers it is a great movie. But not for the reasons you might expect.
The movie was funny and had some exciting sequences, but not nearly as many as other Disney classics. What made "Up" so memorable was the relationship that developed between Carl (an 80-year-old widower) and Russell (a child from a broken home). It is a moving depiction of the difference a man (of any age) can make in the life of a boy. And this theme comes through loud and clear even amongst the talking dogs, flying houses and fight-scenes involving walkers and false teeth!
So, let me just say that this movie is definitely worth your time and money (though don't bother spending extra on 3-D). Kids will enjoy it, but I think this should be required viewing for every retired man in the church, especially for those trying to figure out how God would have them spend their remaining days on this earth.
