Up is a beloved classic among Pixar fans, and now Disney is taking things to a whole new level with a heartwarming new story featuring Carl and Dug. You can catch this exciting tale exclusively in theaters when you watch the new animated film, Elemental, this weekend.
If you’re a fan of Pixar and Disney, you’re sure to appreciate the famous phrase “I just met you, and I love you.” These eight memorable words were spoken by the adorable character, Dug, from the heartwarming and emotional animated film Up.
The unique trio of characters, Carl, Dug, and Russell, have already experienced lots together. From escaping from a perilous situation to facing down dangerous dogs, these unlikely friends have encountered it all. The trio’s experiences have included fulfilling lifelong dreams in unexpected ways and a love story for the ages on multiple levels. The romance started with Carl and Ellie and moved on to Carl’s burgeoning love for life and the people in it.
The latest short film attached to Elemental is titled Carl’s Date and features Carl and Dug working together to prepare Carl for his first date since his wife, Ellie, passed away.
The short film’s teaser trailer is out now, and it promises to be a special treat. In the trailer, Carl confides in Dug that his colleague Miss Meyer has asked him out on a date, throwing Carl into a tizzy as he tries to remember what it’s like to date. While Carl thinks picking flowers would be the perfect activity for the event, Dug thinks digging in the dirt is much more appealing. The new adventure of two beloved Disney characters is bound to be full of surprises.
We can’t wait to see what happens when Carl takes his emotional first step back into the world of dating. This short film promises to deliver a new love story that we can all enjoy, and we’re excited to fall in love with these characters all over again.
