UP

If you haven't seen Pixar's latest masterpiece, UP, you are in for a real treat! The film is wonderful. The animation is top-notch, filled with color and amazement. UP is filled with memorable characters you will truly care for. You are also bound to cry!

Lou Romano, the art directors on UP has posted a lengthy post on his blog about the art direction on a film like this. It is amazing the amount of detail Pixar puts in to create their films. Some of the illustrations were done after Pixar took a research trip to South America. These illustrations were to convey the look, feeling and style of the film. It is a real shame that these wonderful illustrations are only for pre-production work and are not intended for the audience, although the image above is used in the film as the mural Ellie paints above the mantel.

I hope that you enjoy the film as much as I did!

Also look out for Lou Romano's voice in other Pixar films, most notably staring as Linguini in 2007's Ratatouille.
