Massachusetts Space Week!

When Carl Fredricksen (Asner), a curmudgeonly, lonely widower, tries to fulfill a promise to his late wife by attaching thousands of helium balloons to his house and flying it to South America, he doesn’t expect to become that caretaker for a stowaway boy or a talking dog but, well, things happen. In this incredibly moving, exciting, and colorful animated adventure, director Pete Docter achieves the rarest of feats—creating a film that truly works for people of all ages. Brattle debut!
