    Docter has the thinnest face I have ever seen.

    open nationwide on Dec 5

    It is Dec 5 2009 or Dec 5 2010? Because if it is 2009 it is too early, after all the movie was released on May 29 in USA. They should wait for summer 2010 or Christmas 2010...as usual...this is a perfect film for Christmas 2010 or Christmas 2011.

    The Blu Ray and the DVD will be available on Nov 10 in USA...before the the japanese theatrical release... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1049413/

    And you keep wondering why people download movies...

    This guy stopped being funny like 20 years ago there.

    Now i get the feeling that Tokyo lost 2016 Olympic bid due to Animal Hamaguchi's presence in Copenhagen.

    Hamaguchi is the hottest guy in the picture.

    Release date... 05 December 2009. Japan really needs to bring these dates closer.

    Does anyone know why the Japanese version has such a long title name compared to "Up".

    Does anyone know why the Japanese version has such a long title name compared to "Up".

    Perhaps because "This is Japan!"...???

    Is "Animal" Hamaguchi the full quid?

    When Animal Hamaguchi was cheering his daughter during the Olympics, I bet she was so embarassed... must have been funny to attend a Sunday lunch with them after the games.

    This is one time the Japanese title is better than the original.
