The Young at Heart
Cried over a desk lamp. No regrets.
You will argue in any discussion that the first ten minutes of Up carry more emotional weight than an entire Oscar season. You know the difference between Ghibli and "that anime stuff", and you will explain it. At length.
Animation isn't a kids' category to you, it's filmmaking in its highest form: limitless worlds, honest emotions, craft in every frame. You watch 'for the kids' and you're the only one still there when the credits roll.
