Up's iconic montage captured the hearts of fans and set a high standard for emotional storytelling in animated films. While If's opening sequence shares similarities with Up, it fails to establish a connection with the audience. Despite the differences, If delivers a heartwarming story that appeals to viewers' inner children and has a satisfying conclusion.

The heartbreaking montage at the beginning of the animated film Up finally got a live-action remake in John Krasinski's $185 million movie. Pixar's Up is notorious for Carl and Ellie's montage in the movie's opening sequence. In just a few minutes, viewers watch the trajectory of their happy lives up until the twist of Ellie's death. Viewers will never forget the sheer joy and satisfaction of watching Carl and Ellie living their best lives together, only to end in such a heartbreaking twist within the film's first five minutes.
