A weird and wonderful Pixar animation about an elderly widower who attaches balloons to his house and flies to South America, with a young stowaway. As the action builds up, the film occasionally forgets that the main character is supposed to be an old man. In any case, it offers a perfect mix of deeply moving drama and terrifically odd comedy.
