Beautiful, huh?
And there is a line in the movie, well, there are tons, but one in particular really struck a chord - the dog - who is loyal beyond expression said to Mr Fredrickson "I hid under your porch because I love you"...... the house was foating UP and the dog, Doug, despite his being told to "go away" stayed because he loved Mr Fredrickson so much, and truth be told, Mr Fredrickson loved him too. :-)
I was so moved by this dynamic that I put a version of it on my outgoing message on our answering machine - I say, -
"I hope that in 2010 you have someone who loves you enough to hide under your porch if your house floats away with you in it"!!!
And this New Year - that is my wish for al of you!! :-) and I hope you will see this movie.

Good morning on the first day of 2010 Gail.
We were planing on watching either Up or 9(both animated) over the weekend...I guess you just made "UP" my mind for me, Gail!
Have a good year!

Hi WANDA-
You wont be sorry for choosing "UP"!! :-) And I emailed you because when I go to your blog it stalls and makes navigating it and commenting VERY slow, VERY, VERY slow...... I did hang in there' and wrote you a short comment but it took a REALLY long time. phew.
HAPPY HEALTHY AND BLESSED 3020 to you and your family
Love Gail
peace.....
Sounds like a great wish - I can't imagine such a thing but it's good to aspire to it ... and now I think I'll find the movie on Netflix! :)

HI CHANI-

Love Gail

Hi Gail, I had not even heard of the movie...but it sounds like a good one, and I do love your phone message. I used to always do something fun on my machine too. Wishing you all the best in 2010. Big hug my friend.
HI CINNER-
It is a Disney movie - and it is wonderful. :-)
And so the new decade begins.....phew.
Love you
Gail'

What a beautiful sentiment, Gail! I've never heard of this movie, is it on cable TV. The movies I love the most always make make me cry...I'm a real sentimentalist of the heart! Sometimes I cry of joy and sometimes I cry of lost. Funny how our tears can mean two very different feelings. Hope you're enjoying the beginning of our Year! Blessings to you and yours this day and all days! Thanks for sharing the movie with us. I'm glad you didn't spoil it. :) I'm off to find it now!
Peace, Light and Love, C.
HI Gail,
My daughter told me this was a great Movie, and now that you and Bernie have said so too, I will have to put it on my Movie list too. You have not visited my blog lately, I sure hope you will come back, as I miss you, and sure wish you all the best in the New Year!!! ((((HUGS)))) T
Hi Teresa-
Oh my, I am SO sorry about your blog. I have visited but it seems that you haven't posted anything since the "Down and out" post a while ago. Have I missed something - or am I not accessing you correctly. PLEASE let me know. I will go check it out again and come thru your profile as opposed to my side bar list of bogs I follow.
Love Gail
peace
and I hope you like the movie.
HI CORDIE -
I rented it "On Demand" -
And yes, tears mean so many things, joy, relief, sadness, understanding, pain, happiness, and on and on. I hope you enjoy the movie :-)
Love Gail
peace.....
I liked it too.
It's a great movie, heart warming as you put it.
HI LOLA!!
Nice to see you! :-) Happy, healthy, blessed New Year to you.
A great movie, indeed!
Love Gail
peace.....
