Director:Pete Docter, Bob Peterson
Stars: 3.5/5

This is obviously an animation, which I usually don't like to watch. However, this one was different. Since the first time I watched the trailer, I knew I want it.
There are two reasons to watch this movie. First, its graphics and the colors are simply adorable. There is no exaggeration in saying that a house floating in a clear blue sky hanging on to thousands and millions of rainbow-colored balloons makes the movie. The scene is that much fantastic. Second, it's a cute story of an old man and a boy having the particular Disney humor.
The story is simple: an old man, living a life in a comfort zone faces a trauma, and decides to live his dream. A boy scout boy accompanies him unexpectedly, and they meet a dog on the way. Of course, they also face a villan who used to be the old man's hero.
Although the movie conveys a very simple message of "Don't give up, live up to your dreams", it is conducted in such an attractive way that it even appealed to the adults who watched it with me. I hope there are more animations as pretty and as pleasant as this in the future.
