劇情介紹
故事開始時,小男孩卡爾·費迪遜(Carl Fredrickson)正聚精會神地看著新聞影片,著名探險家查爾斯·蒙茲(Charles Muntz)和他的愛狗們剛剛乘坐熱氣球從南美探險歸來,蒙茲宣布發現了新物種,但科學家們不信,稱他是個騙子,蒙茲名譽掃地。不過小卡爾對蒙茲的經歷深信不疑,對他的話句句在心,尤其是他那句「探險就在前方」(Adventure is out there)更被小卡爾當作至理名言,他也想像蒙茲一樣成為偉大的探險家。
畫面一轉,小卡爾牽著氣球走在回家的路上,當他路過一個無人居住的房子前時,傳來了另一個孩子的聲音,這是個假小子性格的女孩,叫艾麗(Ellie) ,她也同樣迷戀蒙茲的探險故事,喋喋不休的艾麗拿屋子頂上的風向標當操縱桿,把整個屋子當成一艘大飛船,竭力說服不知所措的卡爾加入她的計劃,坐著「飛屋」冒險。當然兩個孩子並沒能飛起來,而是摔了下來。不過卡爾和艾麗就此結識。隨後的時間,鏡頭為我們展現了他們倆長大、結婚、在一起生活的蒙太奇片段,艾麗做了動物園管理員,卡爾則弄了個車專門賣氦氣球。兩人一輩子都夢想著到蒙茲提到的南美洲「仙境瀑布」(Paradise Falls)去探險,但他們始終都疲於為生活而奔波。直到艾麗病逝,這個願望也沒能實現。
艾麗去世以後,卡爾變得孤僻起來,不願與人接觸。但更糟糕的是,他的屋子正好處在政府計劃開發的地皮上,這里即將建造一幢摩天大樓。不願搬離這里的卡爾成了一個「釘子戶」,政府派人來准備將他送到養老院,不過就在那些人來之前,卡爾作出決定,帶著屋子一起離開這里,前往南美,去實現妻子和他共同的夢想!
於是我們就看到了預告片里那經典的一幕,五顏六色的氣球拽著一整幢房子飛向了空中。飛屋在空中俯瞰大地的畫面十分漂亮(這也正是激發導演創作這部影片的初始靈感)。
不過老卡爾沒想到的是,他的飛屋上搭乘了一個「偷渡客」——8歲亞裔小男孩小羅(Russell) ,這個過度樂觀的小男孩喜歡快速的說個不停,他參加了野外探險者協會,為了成為高級會員,正需要集齊最後一枚徽章——幫助老人徽章。不幸的是他挑選的幫助目標是脾氣古怪的卡爾,卡爾討厭這個老跟著自己的小胖墩。
卡爾想了很多種把這個討厭的小孩從飛屋丟下去的方法。但在他付諸實施之前,飛屋飛進了一個風暴雲團,艾麗的很多遺物掉下去了,卡爾手忙腳亂的保護這些東西……卡爾醒來之後,「偷渡客」小羅告訴仙境瀑布卡爾,他的GPS可以幫助他們飛到「仙境瀑布」,不過卡爾還是割掉幾個氣球,准備降落並把小羅送上回家的汽車。就在這時意外發生了,濃霧中已經接近地面的飛屋撞上巨石,房子雖然躲過一劫,但卡爾和小羅都被拋了下去。眼看飛屋就要飄走,卡爾用水管套住了它,接著飛屋拖著他一直到了懸崖才停住,卡爾這才發現,「仙境瀑布」就在眼前(如右圖)。從這里開始兩個人開始拉著飛屋步行前進(他們隨後來到了叢林裡面)。那天晚上,小羅跟卡爾談到了自己的家境……
在叢林里,卡爾和小羅遇到了新的朋友——一隻長著長長紅色的喙的色彩斑斕的大鳥(就是探險家蒙茲發現的新物種),這只鳥真的很大,還喜歡吃巧克力,小羅給它起名叫凱文(Kevin) ,鳥很喜歡小羅,但不太喜歡卡爾;接著兩人又遇到了第二個朋友——會說話的狗「逗逗」(Dug),說這只狗會說話並不確切,實際上是狗脖子上戴的項圈能把狗的想法通過人類語言表達出來,之後他們來到一個峽谷,那裡有好幾只狗出場,兩只鬥牛犬,一隻杜賓犬(後面陸續還有其他很多狗出場,這些狗都和蒙茲有關)。
隨後,爺倆被帶到一個飛艇里,他們發現這個飛艇的主人居然就是探險家查爾斯·蒙茲,他的目的是抓住大鳥,證明自己。
得知蒙茲為達到目的會不擇手段後,爺倆搶先逃跑。在把大鳥放回家時,蒙茲趕到並帶走了大鳥……然後,爺倆就和蒙茲展開了搏鬥,要救出大鳥。但蒙茲從飛艇中放出飛機,干擾飛屋前行……
搏鬥過後,蒙茲和飛屋都墜下雲層。而爺倆和大狗在和大鳥道別後,駕駛著蒙茲的飛艇回到了城市,小羅也獲得了由卡爾獎勵的徽章,三「人」成了形影不離的好朋友,過著幸福快樂而愜意的生活(就像小羅在跟卡爾談家境時描述的那樣)。而他們的飛屋最終隨氣球獨自飄落在「平頂山脈」的仙境瀑布邊上(而蒙茲下落不明),實現了艾麗和卡爾一生的夢想。
B. 飛屋環游記英文影評
UP
Up is another must-see animated film from Pixar Animation Studios. It's about a cranky old man and an overeager Scout who fly to South America in a floating house suspended from helium balloons. Up is director Pete Docter's (Monsters, Inc.) second feature-length film, and features the voices of Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer, Bob Peterson and Jordan Nagai. It is the first Pixar film to be presented in Disney Digital 3-D.
Up is definitely one of the better Pixar efforts. It's about the grandeur and excitement of flight and adventure. The first ten minutes of the film about Carl Fredricksen and his life-long love Ellie are surprisingly touching. It's heartbreaking to see him lose his wife even at old age. With nothing left to do Fredricksen heads for South America, but he's not alone. Russell, a Wilderness Explorer trying to earn his "Assisting the Elderly" badge, has stowed away on the porch after being sent on a snipe hunt by Carl the day before. The relationship of father and son that forms between Fredricksen and Russell is completely believable. The filmmakers certainly know how to make a film with endearing characters. The animation is gorgeous. Several scenes in Up are some of the most memorable that I've ever seen in animated films. Like other Pixar films Up is also very funny. Thankfully, it's sweet humour instead of the gross humour that's present in many of today's Hollywood films. In conclusion, Up is another daring, unusual and beautiful animated film from Pixar that both children and alts will enjoy watching. I highly recommend it.
