Guardian Online

"It's a terrific family adventure: the 3D presentation gives it a real boost, but this film is airborne because of the traditional strengths: story, characterisation and inventive animation with the old-fashioned values of clarity and simplicity."

Channel 4

"Ranking the Pixar films in order of greatness is a quixotic pursuit. Once you stick Cars and A Bug's Life down at the bottom, the rest of the list is up for grabs. Up ranks in the top five, along with Finding Nemo , Monsters, Inc. , WALL-E and Toy Story 2."

Time Out

"Pixar triumphs again with a delirious fantasy that has one leg in the real world of hopes dashed and realised and the other in the cartoon tradition of journeying and adventure."
