how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

Read from 51 comments (46 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 25 of them described how it moves.

〰️ uneven — Peaks and dips, no clear shape. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow, 1 that gave people chills.

“the opening sequence, and honestly… it deserves that reputation. Even after all these years, the first part of the movie still hits incredibly hard. In just a few minutes, it tells a full love story, shows an entire life passing by, and somehow makes you emotionally attached without needing much dialogue at all. It’s probably one of Pixar’s strongest openings”

“Once the actual adventure begins, the movie becomes this weird, funny, colorful journey that somehow balances comedy and sadness really well. Carl starts off as this bitter old man completely stuck in the past, and watching him slowly open up again is honestly really touching without feeling forced.”

“One of the most *iconic* introduction of all animation movies ever, with intuitive visuals, terrific musical pattern and a flawless pace. So **** the characters are both attractive and interesting, very touching. The movie starts directly on powerful basics”

“somehow manages to lose in interest, to diverge, stretch and to get into a series of fights or chase scenes getting slowly less and less impressive.”

“67/100 After the loss of his wife and the potential loss of his house, a man decides to travel to the place that his wife and him had always dreamed of moving to via a whole lot of balloons attached to his house. An exciting, fun, humorous and very personal story that was a delight to watch. All the characters were extremely likable, even the villain, but Kevin the bird and Dug the dog stole the show. Watching the old man and his wife spend a lifetime together was brilliantly portrayed provid”
