Pixar's UP

Everyone has been saying online that Pixar may not land a hit with Up because it stars an old man. I could have sworn they said the same thing last year about Wall-E, which was one of my favorite movies of last year. And probably in the top 20 all time. Well, its Sunday night and Up is number 1 with 68 million. Crisis averted. 

This is a very touching story. It seems with the bank rolling up to Pixar, it lets them tell more heartfelt stories than cartoons or live action have made in a while. Especially for summertime fare. In there past two films Pixar has been able to put more heart into their movies without a word of dialog than I can remember. 

Where would I drop this gem in the pantheon of Pixar's stable. Probably 3rd or 4th. Wall-E, Incredibles, Toy Story, Up, Nemo, etc etc. There is some fluidity of those pictures, lets just call them the top five and leave it at that.

Yes.

No.
