ANIMATION
UP (2009)
Never mind Pixar casting a curmudgeonly senior voiced by Ed Asner
as the lead, or sending him off adventuring not in a rocket or a
plane, but a house that levitates on party-balloon power. The truly
improbable storytelling is the four-minute montage laying out the
joys and regrets of old Carl's life - perhaps the most heartbreaking
sequence in any movie this year, and animated work as poignant as
Bambi losing his mom. Extras: new Dug the dog short; commentary by
director Pete Docter and co-director Bob Peterson discussing their
atypical creative choices. The pair's "Monsters, Inc." also hits Blu-
ray. (Disney, $39.99; single-disc edition, $29.99; Blu-ray, $44.99)
