Up really depressed me. I have this irrational fear of old people (no, really, I do) and that movie was just a little bit too much for me. Old folks' homes literally terrify me, and have the ability to put me in a really melancholy mood for weeks. Up was like going to an old folks' home, listening to an old guy tell you his life story with tears in his eyes while yelling at a little kid, then following that up by watching a crappy adventure cartoon where the main character's hero he had always looked up to turns out to be a disappointingly mean murderous asshole and tries to kill him.

It is the "touching" story of dreams being shattered wrapped in a shiny fun looking children's cartoon.

If I were Zigfried, this would be the part where I'd talk about suing Pixar to pay for my psychological counseling.
