7. Up



I'm going to admit it, I don't like Disney, I don't like Pixar, I don't like animations where everything looks like plastic. Why do we feed our kids this saccharine garbage? Why not give them something more imaginative like Hayao Miyazaki and the beautifully drawn works of studio Ghibli? This is what I thought until I saw Up. The characters of Up feel so much more genuine and the story holds down an undeniable ingenuity. In fact, it feels a little like Miyazaki's pencil has been wrapped in cling film. He's not secretly working for Pixar is he?
