What was the best movie of the year then? And please don't say Dragonball. 
I would have to say Sherlock Holmes. Good action and effects without them taking over the film, good script, nice overall story, funny as hell.
And there were definitely parts of Up that were funny. I totally saw you laughing. Don't even deny it. 
But it was totally the saddest movie ever. I mean, the humor in it was just comic relief. It was by no way a comedy. The funny parts were made so that you could stop feeling like you were gonna cry.
It wasn't like "life sucks we live in a hopeless wasteland ravages of war in a cruel world" kind of sad. It was like, real life kind of sad. And then it was happy in the end too. But even for all the flying houses and talking dogs, the emotions in Up were as real as, well, any other movie I can think of. Certainly more real than Avatar.
This is why I kind of struggled on where to put Up in Drama or Comedy, because I think you're right, it wasn't totally a comedy. But it wasn't totally a Drama either. I would definitely put it in Best Picture, but we didn't have one of those. Up is kind of a weird movie ... straddling the line between happy and sad, drama and comedy, fantasy and reality.The saddest part of Up, in my opinion anyway, was that if it were real life, Carl would have just gone to the nursing home the same as any number of real old people ...
But, we're talking cartoon characters. They're not supposed to be real. It just adds a level of creepiness to it. It's why I hate Toy Story, or The Incredibles, or even the Nightmare Before Christmas. They creep me out first of all, I tend to become bias against them because they're not real people but they act like real people and try to make them that way and when I go to see something animated, I go to see something not real. I'm not interested in seeing how lifelike animation can be come. I like animation that is obviously fake and makes weak attempts at trying to appear lifelike.
I don't like things that aren't human acting or trying to be humans. It's why I'm deathly afraid of aliens, space, and most of sci-fi. It's also why I'm so scared of robots.
Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.
