Storyline

A young Carl Fredrickson meets a young adventure spirited girl named Ellie. They both dream of going to a Lost Land in South America. 70 years later, Ellie has died. Carl remembers the promise he made to her. Then, when he inadvertently hits a construction worker, he is forced to go to a retirement home. But before they can take him, he and his house fly away. However, he has a stowaway aboard: an 8-year-old boy named Russell, who's trying to get an Assisting the Elderly badge. Together, they embark on an adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain and a rare bird named Kevin. Written by Garfield2710

Goofs

Continuity: In the French version of the film (with possibly analogous errors in other language versions), during the scene at the beginning when Young Ellie is showing Young Carl her scrapbook, a close-up of one of the pages says in French "TRUCS A FAIRE" but when other side shots are shown, the book clearly says in English "THINGS TO DO".

Lurking in the shadow of majestic Paradise Falls, it sports plants and animals undiscovered by science. Who would dare set foot on this inhospitable summit? Why, our subject today, Charles Muntz!
