Another "Vote" for Pixar's Up as Best Picture

Recently, CNN's David Daniel interviewed Ed Asner who was the voice of Up's main character, Carl Fredricksen, the senior citizen who turns his house into a flying machine so he could reach the land of his dreams...South America.

Ed confessed to David that he had never seen a Pixar film until he went to see Wall-E. He was pleasantly surprised that the film was filled with messages for adults, that it wasn't just a kids' flick.

When he was asked to comment about Up's nomination in the Best Picture category, Ed replied,"what is the final product? It is a movie. What is the quality of that movie and why shouldn't it be made to be equal among equals?...In the same way you can put "Avatar" up there with "Hurt Locker," how much difference is there putting up "Up" against "Hurt Locker?"

We agree!!!!
