I was lucky enough to get invited to UP, Disney/Pixars latest creations 3D premier at the BFI on Sunday. My inner child was truly entertained not only was the animation fantastic (I cried all the way through it) but they had a giant hot air balloon styled on the main character flying house and balloon bending artists who kindly obliged me by creating a small pink poodle on a lead - yes!. Jon Lasseter (creative director for both Disney and PIxar these days) is on a mission to bring 3d viewing back to the masses. Its not about things flying out of the screen at you like an i-max movie its more about creating a roundness to the animation - you feel like you are in it. I can highly recommend it - try and catch it in 3D at the BFI.
