35mm Presentation in Regular 2-D - From Academy Award nominees Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.; WALL-E) and Bob Peterson (Finding Nemo) comes Up, a comedic adventure that lifts spirits as it takes off. Carl Fredricksen (voiced by Ed Asner) has spent his entire life dreaming of global exploration and the chance to experience life to its fullest. But at age 78, everything seems to have passed him by – until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year-old wilderness explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. Up takes audiences on a thrilling journey with an unlikely twosome as they encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains, jungle creatures – and each other.
