"We Three"

Young, that's me (well, inside, anyway...)!

In celebration of impending major birthday, with many digits of the strikingly large variety, I went to see Up today, in 3D. With another wonderfully young 60ish lady. We had Vietnamese food and too much tea for our old bladders, but much time to schmooze before the show. And we got previews in 3 D, too! And, a cartoon! Not like the old days, when we always got 2 cartoons, an episode of a serial (Captain America! Zorro! Flash Gordon!), a newsreel and a double feature (that's 2 full length movies for you younguns). For 30 cents. But almost as good. And certainly, this is a magical movie, everyone in the whole world should see it. It is about love and adventure and finding both in unexpected ways. I'd see it again just to watch Doug, the dog. The animators captured that overweight, classic canine attitude very well. And, like so many Disney features, this one was about the characters. It is always about the characters, isn't it.
