Up (Pixar's latest opus)

[Josh]

Oh, and if I ever hear people talking about physics and Pixar in the same conversation again, I think I'm going to pop a vessel. o_O  I can't think of a better way to completely ruin a great movie.

Yes-- to say nothing of missing the point altogether, imposing on the filmmakers an unfair evaluative framework, etc.

He got the house to where it needed to go, but by that time the house felt empty of Ellie, because she had transferred over to Russel in Karl's mind.  The whole point of the movie is that Karl had to learn when to stop dwelling in the past and start a new adventure.

I got that, but still, having the house tied to them while they were walking around on the ground got a bit tedious after a while.

I just think cartoon physics should be consistent with itself, e.g. the house shouldn't float more readily and be easier to push around with fewer balloons than it was previously with more balloons.

I think murlough shouldn't watch any movies dealing with physics.  Then we'll be set!

murlough isn't the original physics quibbler.  I'm pretty sure that would leave out every movie, though.

Yeah, remember Wall-E? I was on the other side of the fence on that one. I understand cartoon physics, and as long as I can reasonably understand why things work a certain way within the framework of the cartoon world, I'm fine with it. It gives me a way to anticipate what characters might do to solve their predicaments, rather than the rules being "anything goes".
