Here is a new teaser trailer for the Disney Pixar animated movie “Up” featuring the voices of Ed Asner, Christopher Plummer, John Ratzenberger and Jordan Nagai (pictures below). The movie will be released in theaters May 29, 2009. See the movie trailer here.
“Up” is a computer-animated 3-D film being produced by Pixar Animation Studios for distribution by Walt Disney Pictures. It will be the first Pixar feature to be filmed in in Disney Digital 3-D.
The movie is directed by the Academy Award nominated team of director Pete Docter (”Monsters, Inc”) and co-director/writer Bob Peterson. It tells the story of 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner) who has dreamed his entire life about exploring the world and living adventurously. His childhood sweetheart Ellie, whom he married, shared those dreams, but she has died, leaving the widower Carl alone in his house; developers threaten to take over and move him into an assisted living facility. He has reached a stage of life where he believes it is too late to fulfill his dreams, but Russell (Jordan Nagai), an 8-year old Wilderness Explorer, inspires Carl to embark upon a journey.
Instead of relying on bankable star power and witty pop culture jokes the way a live-action comedy would, Pixar always goes for stories that can legitimately be called magical…First they made an environmental social satire with robots that can only make noises, and now they have a jungle action-adventure where the hero is an old man on a walker….
The trailer begins with a tributary montage of past Disney Pixar hits, including groundbreaking “Toy Story” and then reveals the premise of “Up” — we see the old man Carl taking a journey “without leaving his house” — it rises, and is kept aloft by a large, colorful bunch of balloons. Carl discovers that Russell is a stowaway on his “journey to a lost world.”
