Speaking of trailers hitting the internet, here’s a teaser for Pixar’s Up, you guys:

The description for this, at least as it’s written on YouTube (the place where only the most professional descriptions are allowed) seems to be missing a couple of details.

The hero of the film is a 78-year-old man named Carl Fredricksen, who walks around hunched over with a tripod cane. When he was a kid he met a girl named Ellie, who grew up in small midwestern town. The two fell in love and eventually got married. Her dream was always to explore the world and visit paradise falls, but as usually happens, life got in the way. They were never able to make good on their promise, and Ellie eventually passed away. Now Carl is a widower living alone in his small home. Developers are threatening to move him into an old folks home.

Whoops, you left off THE BALLOONS and the FLYING HOUSE, but I guess this pretty much nails it. You know, Pixar probably doesn’t need to work so hard at making their movies look heartwarming and enjoyable. Once a year they should just put out a plain white poster with the word Pixar in the middle and a date at the bottom. I would see that movie.

    Got this from CartoonBrew.com who got it from FirstShowing.net:

    Our hero is the 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen (voiced by Edward Asner), a short and square little man who walks with a cane. When he was young he met a girl and fell in love with her. Her dream was always to explore Paradise Falls in Venezuela, but unfortunately life got in the way and it never came true. Now Carl is an old widower and he sets off on his own to head down to South America to live out that dream before his life ends. Most of the movie takes place in the wonderfully envisioned mountains of Venezuela, where Carl eventually lands after his house sails south?Along the way, Carl meets numerous other characters and creatures. One of them that Docter showed us was a young, chubby 9-year-old boy named Russell. He?s collected all the merit badges (for the Wilderness Club) except one – assisting the elderly. So he stows away in Carl?s house and floats with him down to Venezuela as well.
