I’ll admit it: I’m a Pixar fanboy. I have yet to see a Pixar movie that I didn’t like, and while some movies weren’t as good as others (Cars), I still prefer their movies to the movies of rival companies, like Dreamworks and Blue Sky.

That’s why I’m stoked about Up, the next film in Pixar’s queue. The movie, which will hit theaters on May 29, 2009, is said to take us “to a lost world where anything can happen and will happen.”

Here’s a quick synopsis from The Animation Blog:

From the Academy Award nominated team of director Pete Docter (”Monsters, Inc.”) and co-director Bob Peterson comes “Up,” a comedic adventure taking off (and lifting spirits) in summer 2009. Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. “Up” takes audiences on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures. When seeking adventure next summer — look “Up.”

Looks pretty interesting to me. Up is said to be Pixar’s most nontraditional film to date, and probably their best. Whether or not this will be Pixar’s greatest film will be decided next summer, but even if it isn’t, I have faith that Pixar will yet again deliver a film that surpasses the standard of current animated movies.

Other upcoming Pixar films include Toy Story 3 (2010), Newt (2011), The Bear and the Bow (2011), and Cars 2 (2012).
