Aishwarya Rai (in Roberto Cavalli) heats up the red carpet at the premiere of Pixar’s latest animated flick, Up at the Palais De Festival during the 2009 Cannes Film Festival on May 13, 2009 in Cannes, France.

“We’re just a bunch of animation geeks from northern California on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival,” Pixar’s creative maestro John Lasseter beamed. “To see animation respected at the world’s premier film festival. To be given opening night … you pinch yourself. You just can’t believe it.”

Up is the first animated movie to open Cannes!

Pixar’s 3D Up will be the first animated opening film in Cannes history and rightfully so. Check our some early reviews of the flick, out May 29.

The Hollywood Reporter: “Winsome, touching and arguably the funniest Pixar effort ever, the gorgeously rendered, high-flying adventure is a tidy 90-minute distillation of all the signature touches that came before it.”

Roger Ebert: “this is a wonderful film. It tells a story… [Director Peter Docter's] whole film is an oblique rebuke to those who think action heroes have to be young.”

Time: Extending the patented Pixar mix of humor and heart, Up is the studio’s most deeply emotional and affecting work.

I saw the first 45 minutes of the film a few months ago and I’m dying to see the second half. Dying. Up is going to be my fave Pixar movie ever, I just know it!
