Up

Up (2009) is a Pixar animated adventure you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Pete Docter. Seventy-eight-year-old widower Carl Fredricksen ties thousands of balloons to his house and takes off for the South American wilderness — all to keep a promise he made to his late wife Ellie decades ago.

Carl's only unintended passenger is Russell, an eight-year-old Wilderness Explorer who showed up at the wrong door at the wrong moment. Together they stumble upon a hidden waterfall, a flock of exotic birds, and the legendary explorer Charles Muntz — voiced by Christopher Plummer — who turns out to be far more dangerous than the legends suggest.

Pete Docter's film won two Academy Awards: Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score by Michael Giacchino. The wordless opening montage of Carl and Ellie's life together remains one of the most quietly devastating sequences ever put in an animated film. Stream Up (2009) online on iFILM.
