Up is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s funny, it’s beautiful, and it makes me cry. We see an old man find meaning in his life again after his wife passed away. A young boy makes an unlikely friend and gains the confidence (and badge) he needed.
We have a talking dog and a flightless hyperactive giant bird. And, of course, a house that flies with thousands of balloons. We see a home finally reach the paradise that Ellie dreamed it to be decades ago… It’s a lot and it’s all perfect.
It’s a journey of love, inspiration, friendship, and life… So, today let’s go back into the extraordinary journey with Up quotes. I hope that you have a smile on your face and joy in your heart as you read them. I also had to add this video to this post because how can I not?
