What does /jp/ think of Pixar's UP, aka Grandpa Carl's Flying House (its Japanese title), aka The Greatest Pixar Movie Ever Made, now that it finally hits Japan as of today after a 7 month wait?

[Anonymous No.]

Everyone likes Up!

Japan really liked Wall-E, too.

[Anonymous No.]

It sucked that they have to wait this long for it, at least now they know how we felt that we have to wait 9+ months for the 2nd Gurren Lagann movie.

I knew when Up came out that Miyazaki's Ponyo would kick it's ass because Miyazaki kicks everything's ass. I watched both and realized I was sorely wrong. Up is amazing, easily the most profound Pixar film and one of the best animated films ever. Ponyo was good but not spectacular.

Had I known the movie was going to be a rehash with a bastardized/rushed ending I wouldn't have wasted my time downloading it. And this is coming from the biggest GL fanboy on /jp/. Hopefully the second movie wont be another Gainax'd OVA (see: cashcow).

Go watch the film and decide for yourself. Clearly the opinions are somewhat exaggerated, but everyone who has seen the film (myself included) enjoyed it immensely.

That said, I don't like all Pixar films, but their overall success rate has been a miracle if you compare them to, say, Dreamworks, which brought us mouthbreather movies such as Shrek and Madagasgar.

I don't necessarily like their future, though, since they were acquired by Disney, and back when it was a simple partnership, they fought tooth and nail to not do sequels to every single film they made.
