‘Up’ out on Blu-Ray Comba Pack, DVD, and Movie Download November 10th. Enter to Win a Free Copy.

From the revolutionary minds of Pixar Animation Studios and the acclaimed director of MONSTERS, INC. comes a hilarious uplifting adventure where the sky is no longer the limit.

Carl Fredicksen, a retired balloon salesman, is part rascal, part dreamer who is ready for his last chance at high-flying excitement. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, Carl sets off to the lost world of his childhood dreams. Unbeknownst to Carl, Russell, an overeager 8-year old Wildnerness Explorer who has never ventured beyond his backyard, is in the wrong place at the wrong time — Carl’s front porch! The world’s most unlikely duo reach new heights and meets fantastic friends like Dug, a dog with a special collar that allows him to speak, and Kevin, the rare 13-foot tall flightless bird. Stuck together in the wilds of the jungle, Carl realizes that sometimes life’s biggest adventures aren’t the ones you set out for.

UP flies high with a pristine picture, theater-quality sound and hours of never-before-seen bonus features available only on Blu-ray™ Hi-Def. It’s an adventure that will send your spirits soaring!

    • I think it would be cool to fly all over the world. They say we couldn't visit the whole world even in a lifetime, but if we could fly our house there, I'm sure we could!!

    • I would like to visit Paris. I've been dreaming of going there since I was little. Something about that place seems so cool. It would be even cooler to travel in my own house!

      I would love to win this movie! Thanks reviewstl!

    • I would love to fly anywhere where the sun shines most of the time and the cool breeze from the ocean is always blowing sweetly in your face. I would love that and love to win the movie. Thanks so much,

    • I would like to go somewhere tropical. Of course it would be on the beach. I will have my house after all to stay in. I've always thought it would be nice to have a place on the beach! This would make it possible. :)
