    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Before the film's worldwide release date, Pixar granted a wish from 10-year-old Colby Curtin to see the film 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 film.
    • Goofs
      The 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 credits
      The photographs of characters shown during the end credits thematically match the crew members' positions, as do the "Wilderness Explorer" badges that also appear.
    • Alternate versions
      In international prints, the label on the savings jar for Paradise Falls bears a drawing of said place as opposed to text.
    • Connections
      Edited into Dug's Special Mission (2009)
    • Soundtracks

    Best animated movies ever made
    This film is possibly one of the best animated films of all time as it tells an emotional moving story while being funny. As I said the emotion in this film is full of heart and even though I didn't cry it will make most people cry. The characters in this are perfect even if it is a small character like Ellie or big character like Carl everybody gets so much development even Charles Muntz the villain of the film is also given development, even more than some superhero films nowadays. Also this film has comedy some Pixar films now just want to make you cry but in the 2000s they had mix of sad and funny moments. So overall this film is as close to perfect as an animated film can get, it is has a mix of emotions it is funny and sad when it needs to be it has so much heart and the characters are perfect. This film in my opinion is the best Pixar film.
