But UP took me to a new place I never thought possible with a "kid's cartoon". I cried. Now, I know it isn't just a "kid's cartoon", because the themes running in this movie are DEEP. No child will ever truly understand Carl's loss. But as a person that has loved and lost, it hit home. Things like that have helped me realize that I'm not in this art of animation to make kids laugh alone. I want to make people of all ages laugh, cry, cheer, fear, and rejoice in the stories I plan on telling! This art is beyond just making kids laugh. ;-) I agree wholeheartedly!
