L² Comment:
The story is very touching and lovely on the early part telling about Carl and Ellie. How they fall in love, have their dream and how they get old and finally Ellie passed away. To achieve this, Carl think of an idea of using balloons to fly their house to the Paradise Falls.. this which i think is funny and not make any sense especially when the old man carry a house around... but hey this is animation, so it make sense :)

Overall this is a good animation, love it :)
