7/10
Old codger living alone (wife dead) in a small cottage in a big city, surrounded by high rise blocks, with developers desperate to get hold of his property. What's a guy to do?
Simple, attach a lot of balloons and float off into the ether, with South America as your destination. Of course, having a plump boy scout accidentally along for the ride complicates matters, but they're bound to find a way of getting along. Pixar's latest is one of their best yet. It has heart (as opposed to cheap sentiment), vision, adventure, comedy, and plenty of surprises. I enjoyed it and I suspect that pretty much everyone else will - if they haven't already.
