Tuesday Movie: Up


Yeah, it's a kid's movie.  Yeah, it's animated.  And triple yeah, it's got a talking dog named Doug, but I dare you to watch the first ten minutes of this movie without shedding a tear.  I remember seeing it in the theater with my kids and totally losing it without an adequate supply of napkins.  Heck, my kids watched it so many times when I bought the DVD, but I still couldn't bring myself to watch those first few minutes.  Now, I just let myself go there.  It's such a beautiful movie.  And who doesn't love a talking dog?

Maybe I'm really a kid at heart, but I now find myself loving movies that were made for kids probably more than movies made for adults.  And this one, right along with "Finding Nemo" tops my list.

Am I the only adult that enjoys movies made for kids?  Tell me your favorites!
