I may be in the minority, but Up beats Bambi. Probably because I never liked the kid to begin with.

TheFuriousWombat:
SPOILER!!

I'd say while the death itself may have been more startling in Bambi, Up's opening montage leading to Ellie's death was sadder and had more emotional heft. The movie as a whole was the scariest, saddest Disney movie I can think of to be honest. There's a heck of a lot of sadness throughout, the occasional rough-by-Disney-standards violence (Doug being tossed around the cabin by the Alpha dog was borderline brutal) and some fairly frightening moments to boot (the whole final chase/fight scene was really intense, for example, even if some humor was mixed in.)

Victorinia:
I thought it was wonderful. I accidentally saw it in 3D, and while it wasn't always perfect, it was pretty cool. I jumped when a digital piece of shrapnel flew at me. It's not something I'd intentionally pay more for, though.

None of the emotional moments felt contrived, and the opening scenes were some of the best visual storytelling I'd ever seen. I also thought it was pretty neat that the kid was Asian - I can't think of another kid's movie offhand with an Asian lead.

Pixar has yet to disappoint me. Other studios could learn a thing or two from their storyboard team. The animation was great, but the movie would still have been wonderful if it had been drawn with wax crayons, because the story was just perfect.

RobbieOC:
...I didn't get that the kid was supposed to be Asian. Hm. That is cool, though.

squawk:
he was totally asian! he didn't have eyelid folds
