US actress Robin Wright Penn and member of the jury arrives at the opening ceremony of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival on May 13, 2009. Cannes will add a new chapter to its history — and give a nod to what some hail as the future of cinema — when the Riviera film festival kicks off today with a 3D animated movie, Pixar’s “Up”. The hotly-awaited premiere of “Up” will make cinematic history as it becomes the first-ever animated feature, and the first three-dimensional movie to open the world’s paramount cinema showcase running May 13 to 24.
