re: Top 5 Saddest Pixar moments

The opening to Up is probably the only part of a movie to ever make me - as a grown man - weep like a four year old at the end of Homeward Bound.

I mean... how fricking sad is that shite? And I'm fixing to get married this summer... frick, I'm ending it if I have to deal with Mrs. Durden going out like that one day.

I still say that the opening to Up is a lot more sweet than sad. Sure, some of it is sad (like the no kids part), but he got to spend his life with the one person he loved, and even though they never were able to go on that one specific adventure, he ended up seeing that she had filled her book with all of their good times...and that their life together was the adventure.

I understand why people cry because of it, but I've always thought it was extraordinarily sweet.

Fantastic opening montage. And I agree it's one of the best love stories told in film, and all without words and in about 8 minutes.
