Up (2009)

An elderly widower attaches a huge number of balloons to his house and flies away to a South American waterfall he and his late wife had vowed to visit. Unknowingly to him a boy scout was on the front porch when the house lifted off.

Overrated animated movie. It is all very pretty but they just didn't have a solid story to make a movie on. They clearly were forced to introduce some excitement into their material and in the process some very unreasonable character behavior was inserted. Also, all the visual beauty and all the action could not disguise the depressing undertones that pervade the plot (one commenter on IMDB has suggested that the title should be Down).
