    Edit
    • Trivia
      The villain Charles Muntz has a similar name to Charles Mintz, the Universal Pictures executive who in 1928 stole Walt Disney's production rights to his highly-successful "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" cartoon series. This led Walt Disney to create Mickey Mouse, who soon eclipsed Oswald in popularity.
    • Goofs
      The phrase "Jiminy Cricket" was used in common slang as a euphemism for "Jesus Christ" (in context of a "cuss" word) since the 1920s. The expression is spoken in movies like The Brave Little Tailor (1938) and The Wizard of Oz (1939). Pinocchio (1940) had a character named Jiminy Cricket who was named after the expression, not the other way around.
    • Quotes

      [Carl, in his once-again airborne house, suddenly hears a knock at the front door]

      Carl Fredricksen: Russell?

      [opens the door to find Dug on his doorstep]

      Carl Fredricksen: 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)

    Another Feast For The Eyes
    This is another film in which it really helps to know in advance what it is, or more specifically, what it isn't. Then, you go from there. I enjoyed the animated film very much but, some of that was due to the fact a friend clued me in first, saying "this isn't really a comedy or a film for little kids. Don't expect a ton of laughs." So, instead of seeking laughs (although I still got them here and there), I just enjoyed the adventure story and marveled at the amazing artwork.

    Seen on Blu-Ray, this is yet another example in which you shake your head and wonder, "How does the artwork get any better than this?" Then, about six months from now, another will come along and I'll say the same thing. Overall movies may not be better today than "in the old days," but there is no dispute there are two areas in which films keep getting better and better: special-effects and animation. This is another example of that.

    The colors and the detail in here are almost beyond description. The artwork ranges from bold to subdued, but always stunning. I lost track how many times I wanted to just pause and admire the picture for a few minutes. From super-sharp closeups of the old man's face to lush jungle scenery, this high-definition disc is worth every penny/

    Back to the story, I found it a combination adventure-fantasy-comedy-suspense-sentimental story, about in that order, too. Generally-speaking, I would think adults would like this more than kids, but I may be wrong. Everyone - regardless of age - will have their jaw drop more than once viewing the incredible-looking scenes. It's really a feast for the eyes. Finally, if you like extras, there are tons of them in the four-disc DVD set.
