So, partly I agree with you. On the other hand: what is a kids movie? When I think about it it's kinda hard to define (and a cool idea for a post so I postpone this discussion for the moment but thanks for that idea). About the other Pixar movies you mention: each to his own :) Kaia, first thanks for commenting and second, you are a genius because you gave me the ultimate idea of why Up feels so uneven to me: the first act more or less is anything but a kids movie while the rest in many ways is.

Up is not about being realistic in its story; Up is about the feelings. The joys mixed with sadness and humor combine into something that is more than a movie, it's an understanding of how life should be lived. Up is not about the geographical journey that is taking place, it is about the emotional journey of Mr. Fredrickson and the Small Mailman. The point of talking dogs is not to be realistic, but to add charcters with a humorous spin. This article on Up's faults kind of misses the point.

I was starting to feel like the only person in the country who didn't like Up! I did love the opening montage of his married life. It was extremely touching and heartfelt. But after it's done, the movie goes down-hill. The script was not only poor, but it was empty. And I completely agree about the absurdity of the talking dogs. People only liked the movie because of the begining. I completely agree. I was starting to feel like the only person in the country who didn’t like Up!
