Holding on to your dreams is the best expression of love! This flying house adventure is full of excitement, danger and touching. It makes a boy grow up, a lost old man finds himself, and it also makes us think about life in front of the screen. The film's few scenes depicting the lives of the two are what I consider Pixar's most moving episodes to date.
When the afterglow of childhood and dreams shines into the reality of aging, when the ten-minute fast-forward of life becomes extraordinarily long, can this round trip revive the monotonous life of the elderly? Can the balloon lead the flying house upwards to save the downward heart that has lost its freedom? Could this unknown South American adventure give him a whole new meaning to his life? ~~The road is extending, the scenery is changing, and there is no constant eternity in life. After walking far and looking back, many things have been blurred, many people have forgotten, and only a few people and things are related to us, implicated in our happiness and happiness, this is what we really want to cherish.
