Will an old man in the Amazon be able to tug at moviegoers’ heartstrings like Wall-E? The stars lined the red carpet at the opening of the Festival de Cannes Wednesday, as Pixar premiered its latest, Up. A decidedly odd sight: Many of the stars strutted their stuff while wearing 3-D glasses. Those in attendance included Tilda Swinton, newly single juror Robin Wright Penn, and the French cultural minister. Anticipation is high for the premieres of Quentin Tarantino’s WWII epic, Inglourious Bastards, as well as Heath Ledger’s last performance, in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
