Up tells of an old man who makes his entire house airborne

Pixar film Up has opened the 62nd Cannes Film Festival – the first time an animation has launched the event on the French Riviera.

A host of celebrities donned 3D glasses for the film, not in competition, about a curmudgeonly man who ties balloons to his house in order to get airborne.

Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton was among those on the red carpet.

Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp are also all due in town, with new films to promote.

Opening Cannes with an animation – and a 3D animation at that – is a radical departure Razia Iqbal, BBC arts correspondent

The event runs until 24 May, when the Palme d’Or prize will be announced.

John Lasseter, Up producer and Pixar co-founder, beamed with delight as he and colleagues mingled with the celebrities on the carpet.

I’m busy for a while in University Examination and will be regular on this blog after 26th of May.

And there’s a long gap between the last paper (Organic Chemistry) and the next one (Botany-II-Plant Physiology) so I guess I’m utilizing this time very well.

Look I finished watching

1. Alvin and The Chipmunks;

2. Juno;and

3. The Darjeeling Limited.

and I’m looking forward to watch Chakushin Ari.

 Actually I went to a video library (Sharma’s in Shivalik Nagar) for One Missed  Call  but ended up with Chakushin Ari as he suggested that original one i.e. the Japaneese one is better from which One missed Call is recycled !

Talking about studies, I’m doing just fine in it! Right now I’m preparing for Botany Paper- I ( Taxonomy & Anatomy)
