A touching animated film, UP tells the story of an elderly man named Fredricksen who is reluctant to sell his house even though he has been offered a high price. He insists on staying in that house because it is filled with beautiful memories. Even though his house is eventually squeezed between tall buildings, he still refuses to move.

The story in UP is inspired by the true story of an elderly woman named Edith Macefield, who also refused to sell her house despite being offered 1 million US dollars (around Rp14.5 billion). The elderly woman chose to live in her house until her death in 2008.

After Edith Macefield passed away, the house was cared for by Greg Pienno, who renovated it to make it more sturdy. Her story provides inspiration and serves as the basis for the narrative in the film UP, which combines elements of memory and determination.

The animated film POCAHONTAS is based on the true story of a princess named Amonute, who is better known by the nickname Pocahontas, which means 'naughty child'. Pocahontas is a princess of the Indian Tribe who played a crucial role in creating a path to peace between the Indian tribes and the English by freeing John Smith who was being held captive at the time.

In the film POCAHONTAS, the daughter of Chief Powhatan is portrayed as a friendly and kind-hearted girl. She is also depicted as freeing John Smith, an English Captain, as happened in the original story. However, in the film, Pocahontas is also shown as a figure who is not accepted by many people because of her actions.

This story retains some real elements from the original tale, although with the addition of some fictional elements to make it more dramatic. The film POCAHONTAS continues to highlight themes of peace, friendship, and courage in facing challenges.

The LUCA film from Pixar has successfully captured the attention of many viewers. The story tells of a sea monster who meets a boy named Alberto, and the two then form a friendship that changes their lives. The life of the sea monster, which was once ordinary, becomes colorful and joyful thanks to their meeting.

It turns out that the story in the LUCA film has a more personal origin, which is the true story of the director, Enrico Casarosa. He revealed that a significant change in his life began after meeting his friend. Although the sea monster in the film is a fictional element, the premise of the story that depicts change and personal growth is very real and based on his personal experiences.

Enrico Casarosa, who was once shy, eventually managed to step out of his comfort zone and learn many things. His story provides inspiration on how meeting the right person can change your life, even when colored with elements of fantasy in the form of a sea monster.
