“Adventure is out there” is a sentence to reignite your passion at any age; to pump up your balloon of life, and Pixar’s UP is certainly a movie that can inspire that feeling.
The classic tale of a late in life adventure is showing at the Airlie Beach Foreshore Outdoor Cinema on Friday, September 9, so pack your picnic blanket and drop by for the showing on the big screen under the stars.
And you won’t go hungry; the foreshore screenings are now flanked fully by yummy food trucks – so grab a snack and dig into this animated adventure.
UP follows Carl, an old widower, who heads on one last journey to his wife’s dream destination: Paradise Falls.
This impeccably crafted story is both parts funny and poignant, maintaining Pixar’s particular brand of visual treat – a delicacy best enjoyed on the big screen.
Watch as the 78-year-old balloon salesman fulfills a lifelong dream by tying thousands of balloons to his house and flying off to the South American wilderness.
Carl's worst nightmare comes true, though, when he discovers a little boy named Russell is a stowaway aboard his balloon-powered house. But, although he may be curmudgeonly, Carl has a heart of gold.
Whether it be your – or your kids - first time hearing the music swell (and the emotions with it), or your 500th, you won’t be disappointed.
