This was the scene from movie “Up” which I liked the most.. I wanted to write a post on this movie from a long time but somehow got held up at work.. I love animation movies, the ones which have a hidden message in them.. I felt that “UP” was the best animation movie that we have seen from quite sometime.. Although Ice age 3 was as good as the other ice age movies, I wont consider it new since the characters in the movie were known characters.. Up was totally different in terms of the story, characters, plot and the fun factor..

It is the story of an old man (Mr.Fredricksen) and a small kid (Russell) who accompanies him in his adventure.. The old man takes a great amount of pain to just fulfill his wife’s wish.. It was her dream to build a house right next to a waterfalls in South America.. He comes up with this idea of tying balloons to his house and to make it fly.. The kid creates problems for the old man and finds some friends in the wilderness – a bird and a dog..The kid gives the name  “Kevin” to the bird..

The scene which made me laugh the most was when the kid realizes that the bird is a female and is embarassed to know that  “Kevin is a girl!!!” But the kid is so good at heart and he sets all alone to save the bird when the old man refuses to come along.. I just fell in love with that kid.. The kid reminded me of one of my cousin brothers.. He is just as innocent as this kid is and he is always ready to help anyone anytime..Isn’t it nice that some people are still good at heart when almost everyone in this world is selfish and opportunistic?

This reminds of my friend who said “To achieve something in life, you ought to be selfish”.. Do you people believe in that? I DONT.. I would never cheat someone or take advantage of someone to get my things done.. NEVER.. I believe in hard work and in doing everything on my own..

P.S: I would recommend this movie to all the potter fans who are heart broken after watching HBP.. This movie is one of the funniest movies of this year..I am sure everyone would have already watched it.. I am late in writing the review..
