OK, just saw the commercial for Up the movie by pixar studios and gotta say,what has the world come to? Go to this website for the plot-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_(2009_film). Here we have a childrens film and the main character is a 79 year old pensioner. Every kid watches a movie and then idolises the main character. Which kid in there right state of mind would imagine themselves to be a 79 year old pensioner?
"oh no look, the bad guys are taking over the city"
"look its a bird!"
"no its a plane"
"no its a old guy stuck to balloons!!!!"
"watch out he might hit you with his walking stick"
"why is it raining?"
"i think he peed himself and wait wait ....yep, he crashed."
NOT going to work. Besides, how is the merchandising going to work? Do you want your kids playing with a old man doll? What is it called when children touch old men? Is this movie trying to use reverse psycology and promote pedophilia? However the movie does offer a solution for some of American's social security problems. Lets all tie up the old people, stick them to balloons and they are another countries problem! so what you waiting for? time to raid the retirement home and start filling up the balloons.
