Up Friday, December 29, 2023 2 p.m.-3:45 p.m.
Revisit an acclaimed family film this holiday season. The animated adventure Up—exciting, funny, and poignant—offers an impeccably crafted story told with wit and depth. Carl (voice of Ed Asner), a 78-year-old widowed balloon salesman, is about to fulfill a lifelong dream. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, he flies away to the South American wilderness. But curmudgeonly Carl soon discovers that a little boy named Russell is a stowaway aboard the balloon-powered house.
