Up, Pixar's 10th feature-length movie, is an example of what the studio can do when they're firing on all cylinders. Unfortunately, that was the last time I've seen Pixar do so. In 2009, I sat down with my family to watch the latest Pixar movie, Up. Hooray! Oh look, a young boy and girl are starting to like each other. Nice! Hey, they're getting married. That's wonderful! Wait now what's happening? Slow down. Hey! They lost the child? She's dead?? What kind of kids' movie opens with a death scene?
