Until their 2 last movies, Pixar's productions had always got better and better. According to me, "Ratatouille" and "WALL-E" had both reached the highest level that the studio could offer. But now for the first time, their new film is a little under what I would have expected from Pixar.
Not that the movie is bad, it actually is still better than the large majority of today's 3d animation movies, and the characters are not as manichean as those shown in so many american movies ; yet, the story was a little less interesting (even if we do not have many stories featuring an old retired man) and such gags are seen a bit too frequently in recent children movies.
Anyway, the beginning scene where the Fredricksen couple's whole life is shown is really beautiful, and I liked the fact that this movie shows a dirigeable balloon, too...
Not much to say about this pretty little french movie. The style is good, the aesthetic somehow minimalistic (and then full of fractals...), the story simple yet not uninteresting (Pierre Bordage surely has a lot of talent as a science-fiction writer).
