Blockbuster Series: UP

Number 2 in the series, number one at the box office - Pixar's UP is the next from the amazing folks (backed by Disney) that bought us The Incredibles, Cars, A Bug's Life, and many more great stories, well told.

What I Saw: at it's essence, UP is a buddy movie, the unlikely pairing of Carl Fredrickson, a 78 year old retired balloon salesman, and Russell, the 8 year old Wilderness Explorer Scout. They find themselves thrown together on a great adventure to South America, and in the process, find that they need each other more than either one could have guessed. 1 Corinthians 12 reminds us that "the hand cannot say to the foot, 'I don't need you.'" As followers of Christ, we cannot say to each other, "I don't need you." We don't get to tell other people that they are not a part of what God's doing in and through our lives. We need each other, even the parts that seem less important are very necessary in the plan and purpose of God for each of us. Don't believe the lie that says, I don't need you.

Okay, that's what I saw in the film, what did you see? Post a comment and let us know!
