Yep, it is a great one!  Saw it with my family for my B-day.  It was one of the best of the Pixar films.  We were just thrilled with it.

Don't underestimate your kids!

Mine have loved a lot of the same movies I have. Les Triplettes de Belleville; any Miyazaki epic; Flyaway Home; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; anything with Jackie Chan or Fred Astaire or the Marx Brothers in it; and any number of somewhat obscure indie flicks have been huge hits at our house.

Our rules are somewhat different from most households. We let our kids watch anything they want as long as we watch it together. No lasting damage, and the kids grew up to have broad tastes and are fun to talk to about movies.

I can't say enough good things about "Up" - it really is a wonderful film.

but you're right... though now, 5 years later we are slowly rediscovering the joys of going out together

Loved it, and learned a lot too!

Thanks for the warning... :)  I don't know about Madagascar 2...(well I didn't see the first), but I would love to see Ratatouille and the new Bond film!   Daniel Craig and his uglysexy...

It isn't for everyone...there isn't a ton of dialog and non-stop action.  It's a gem for independent film lovers who don't expect blockbuster production for every movie.

Why do I feel I'm not going to live up to the tastefulness of the other movies mentioned on this thread when I say we have just bought tickets to see Madagascar 2 at the weekend!

I fancied seeing Quantum of Solace but maybe not quite suitable for the kids.  For those of you who don't yet have kids enjoy the luxury of going out to see civilised interesting films whilst you can.  Post kids neither your wallet nor your brain will be up to anything more complex than Ratatouille.

I would be even more impressed with actors performing it live....  The writer actually made a prequel and a sequel, but I might skip those....seems unnecessary to know what happened before or after.

Kitchen Stories is one of my favorite movies!

Not exactly an edge-of-your-seat plot, but wholly endearing.

Hunger

The last six weeks of the life of the Irish republican hunger striker Bobby Sands, This is a must see movie, just out in the
cinemas here in the UK. Extremely accurate account of that time. I can't recommend this movie highly enough

Michael fassbender as Sands is the best performance I've seen since David Thewlis in Mike leigh's Naked, My favourite
ever performance from an actor.

Ja, Kitchen Stories. It vas goot. Funny and strange.

Just saw another fabulous Norwegian/Swedish film called 'Kitchen Stories'.. Highly recommended if you can find it. It is one of the most unique plots I have seen in a long time.
A bit absurd and touching.

Here is the trailer for ELLING that I mentioned a few posts ago..
