Up - movie screenshot

I've never seen this movie before and my son was watching it when I got home tonight. It was about 10 min in when I started watching it. I have cried uncontrollably almost all the way through. Especially, through the first half hour. Their dreams, their lost dreams, achieving the dream eventually even if it a different way than you pictured it. I don't even think I can write it all down. This is probably one of the best movies I've seen, but I will not be able to watch it again in front of anyone. I do not like crying at movies. And this one is especially good, but hard for me to watch. The boy talking about his dad coming to the scout ceremony to watch him get his assisting the elderly badge, the dog saying "I was hiding under your porch because I love you,can I come in?" The explorer that Carl and Ellie looked up to, turning out to not be the nice person they thought he was. The bird Kevin being hurt and Russell saying "can't we help her get back home?' and then Carl gets angry and yells at the dog, even though he doesn't mean to. He yells "bad dog, bad dog, bad dog" And then he's watching his house float away and it's like his dreams are crushed again. and he says "you know, it's just a house." Maybe that's how I need to feel about my dad's t-bird. I don't want it to be sold, but I can't afford to buy it. And then Carl gets the blimp which means even bigger dreams and adventures. And Carl shows up for the badge ceremony and they are all beat up, but Russell performs above and beyond the call of duty. He gets the Ellie Badge. And Russell hugs Carl. And I am crying so much. And he is eating ice cream in front of the ice cream place with the blimp above them.
