In this dramatic fantasy based on the best-selling novel by Audrey Niffenegger and produced by Brad Pitt, beautiful heiress and artist Clare Abshire meets and falls in love with mysterious Chicago librarian Henry DeTamble.

Clare believes that they are destined to be together for all time, however she soon discovers that Henry harbours a dark secret: he suffers from a rare disorder that causes him to time-travel whenever he is under stress. He effectively lives his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through his lifespan with no apparent control.

Despite the fact that Henry's travels force them apart with no warning and that he vanishes for lengthy intervals, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love in a story which endures across a sea of time and which shows that love knows no boundaries and transcends time and death.

The latest CGI-animated adventure from Pixar Entertainment tells the story of an old man who floats away on a great adventure after he ties thousands of balloons to his house.

Balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen has always wanted to see South America since he made a promise to a childhood friend that they would go explore it together. And when, some 70 years later the same friend passes away, he decides to make his unrealised dream come true by affixing innumerate brightly coloured balloons to his home and floating away.

However, as he becomes airborne, Carl realizes he is not alone in the house, because stowed away on his front porch is an excitable eight-year-old wilderness explorer named Russell who is trying to earn a 'helping the elderly' merit badge.

The unlikely pair embark on an incredible adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain, vicious predators and a rare bird named Kevin.
