Weve all seen what Up has to offer on a basic level, which is characters uniting (to their unofficial leaders dismay) to face a common obstacle. Not only is Up very well done in that regard, but it also goes a step further in terms of how it ties the characters to one another permanently after the solution of the movie is achievedthe characters remain committed to one another on a very poignant level.
Every one of the protagonists in Up has a clear goalCarl (and Ellie) Fredricksen wanting to move to South America, Russell wanting to earn his final Wilderness Explorer badge, Dug wanting to be as useful as the rest of his canine associates, and Kevin wanting to be left alone to survive. But their friendship to one another makes them think about what theyre missing in their lives, and in the end, they make big changes that are actually really big, which in Ups case makes their own dreams better, as well as one anothers.
