10 Hidden Details In Movie Opening Scenes
7. Up - A City On The Rise
2009's instant pixar classic Up got the ball rolling with one of the most heartbreaking opening sequences in animated movie history.
There wasn't a dry eye in the house as we were guided through Ellie and Carl Fredrickson's delightful love story, only for it to be later revealed that Carl's love of his life was taken from him in their later years.
Yet, once you take a step back from the tear jerking prologue, you start to notice some clever little details laced into the recapping of their relationship.
Early in the montage, we see an exhausted Carl trying to make his way to the top of a hill to meet Ellie. In the background you'll notice a few buildings from a simple town in the distance.
As the pair grow old, we instead see Ellie struggling to reach the top of the hill and Carl waiting for her at the top before he runs down to aid his weary wife. Yet, you can also spot that the little town miles away has been replaced by a towering city skyline, showing how much things have changed since they first began climbing that steep hill all those years ago.
