Who didn't see this coming? I called it ten minutes into the movie. Some hand-wringing parents have declared 'Up" too dark for children. Why? Because the first twenty minutes deal with the uncomfortable subjects of death and infertility. The reference to infertility is so oblique that children will miss it, but there is no getting around the brief discussion of death and the longer discussion of grief. One parent even claimed they were disappointed in Pixar for creating such a "dark" film.

SPOILERS for 'UP' )

Sometimes I think it's the parents who need to grow up.
