The Cannes Film Festival has selected Disney and Pixar’s Up as the first animated feature to ever open the six-decade strong film festival. It will also be the first 3D feature at the event.

Screening out of competition, the movie follows an old man who embarks on an adventure after tying thousands of balloons to his house and flying off to South America.

Up will premiere on May 13, two weeks ahead of its theatrical release on May 29.
