Up as Pixar’s Statement on Animation

Metaphilm saw fit to publish my piece on Pixar’s Up (2009), more or less on the occasion of the film’s release on DVD and Blu-Ray. In the piece, I argue that Up presents a kind of statement, by Pixar, on the role of animation in our contemporary entertainment culture.

I feel very lucky to have written recently for Metaphilm and Bright Lights Film Journal (the latter with my piece on Knowing [2009]), two well-trafficked sites packed with great writing on film.
