Last Wednesday I went to see 'Up' in English and 3D at IFC. It was funny, I ran into not one, not two, but three different unrelated people I knew who were at the same screening. It appears there's a lot of demand for the English version and not a lot of places in town showing it. (for most animated movies they dub cantonese versions (since little kids can't read subtitles). Its interesting because they don't do dubbing for almost any other kind of movie or TV here....)As far as 'Up' goes: The movie is pretty good, as you can expect. Typical Pixar deal - very good quality production, good character design, good voice acting, some nice laughs sprinkled in. story which appeals to kids but also has enough to keep adults interested.I can't get too excited by it to give a 9, so I'll give it a 8/10.Did you guys notice that the fat kid is supposed to be Asian American? I didn't... :-P
