How many minutes is the runtime of Up?

The runtime of Up is 96 minutes.

Up is a 2009 Pixar animated feature directed by Pete Docter and co-written by Docter and Bob Peterson. Its 96-minute length gives the film room to move from Carl and Ellie's childhood relationship through their married life, then into Carl's balloon-powered journey to Paradise Falls with Russell, Dug and Kevin.

The film's opening montage is especially notable because it conveys decades of Carl and Ellie's life with very little dialogue. That efficient storytelling helps explain how Up can cover a long personal history, a South American adventure and Carl's emotional transformation within a feature of under 100 minutes.

The number is sometimes confused with rounded descriptions such as “about 90 minutes” or with reports that describe the movie as a 90-minute adventure. Those are informal approximations. The credited runtime is 96 minutes. Up was released theatrically in the United States on May 29, 2009, and became Pixar's first feature presented in 3D, adding another notable milestone to its production history.
