Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBefore the film's worldwide release date, Pixar granted a wish from 10-year-old Colby Curtin to see the movie before she died. Colby had been diagnosed with cancer and was too sick to go to a theater. A Pixar employee flew to the Curtins' house with a DVD of the finished film and screened it for her and her family. Curtin died seven hours later at 9:20 pm, shortly after seeing the movie.
- GoofsThe age time-lines of the characters don't add up. When we see Carl as a child, Charles Muntz is a late middle aged man. But when they meet, they are about the same age. This is because the plot was slightly different in an earlier version of the movie. In that version, the birds' eggs would keep you alive for ever if you ate them, which is why Muntz was so interested in the bird, and the reason why he is still alive when Carl meets him. Pixar eventually decided to drop the concept about the eggs, but by then it was too late to change the part about Muntz still being alive and healthy. So they kept him in the final version and deliberately ignored that he should actually have been decades older than Carl.
- Quotes
[Carl, in his once-again airborne house, suddenly hears a knock at the front door]
Carl Fredricksen: [Surprised] Russell?
[opens the door to find Dug on his doorstep and is very happy]
Carl Fredricksen: [Smiles] Dug!
Dug: [Looking sad] I was hiding under your porch because I love you. Can I stay?
Carl Fredricksen: [Delightfully] Can you stay? Why, you're my dog, aren't you? And I'm your master!
Dug: [His sadness turns to happiness. As he happily wags his tail] You are my master? Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
[lunges forward and covers Carl in slobbery kisses]
Carl Fredricksen: [laughing] Good boy, Dug. You're a good boy.
- Crazy creditsThe photographs of characters shown during the end credits thematically match the crew members' positions, as do the "Wilderness Explorer" badges that also appear.
- Alternate versionsIn international prints, the label on the savings jar for Paradise Falls bears a drawing of said place as opposed to text.
- ConnectionsEdited into Dug's Special Mission (2009)
Directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, two brilliant directors of Pixar Animation Studio behind hits like "Wall-e", "Monsters Inc." or "Finding Nemo", this film has a number of experienced voices and a touching soundtrack, which earned the Academy Award that year for Best Original Score. A curious fact: the place represented as a destination point for Carl's trip - the fictional Paradise Falls - exists on the real life, in the border between Venezuela and Brazil: its Mount Roraima.
The most touching on this film is to see the love of Carl and Ellie, alive even after her death and visible in the way he keeps her memory alive and ever present. Russell's goodness also move us, especially when he is confronted with the harsh ways of stubborn Carl, who sees in Russell a problem. Another deeply moving character is Dough, a friendly and affectionate dog who speaks through a device placed on his leash.
For all these things, "Up" is a film for the whole family, is a film that touches us, moves us and thrills. It proves that, if love cannot move mountains can still move homes, and that no one is too old to live an adventure or fulfill a dream.
