Comic-Con 2008: Disney/Pixar Panel for “Up” (Teaser Released) July 27, 2008 12:25 am

Disney has released a sneak preview of the teaser trailer for Pixar’s Up. The full teaser will be included in the upcoming DVD release of Wall-E. You can watch the teaser at this link or embedded after the jump. Here are some highlight’s from the panel for both Up and Bolt. First up, observations from the panel on Up courtesy /Film:
- Up is touted as from the “creators on Monsters Inc, Co-creator of Toy Story, and Co-creator of Wall-E”. Pixar takes us “to a lost world where anything can happen and will happen.”
- Director Peter Doctor promises that “In Up, we’re taking you to a world you’ve never seen before, a place I didn’t know existed before.”
- The setting will include fantastically weird mountains of South America. They showed the entire sequence from the film, though not all of it was finished.
- The hero of the film is a 78-year-old man named Carl Fredricksen, who walks around hunched over with a cane.
- Here’s his story: 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.
- It was also confirmed that Michael Giacchino, the composer of The Incredibles, Lost and Star Trek, is writing the score.
Here’s a summary of the clip they were shown:
The clip we saw began as the people from the old folks home arrive, but Carl escapes by launching tons of brightly colored balloons from his roof, lifting the whole thing into the air. “So long boys!” A little girl in a high rise apartment looks on with excitement as the balloons go by her window. People in the street are in disbelief over what they see. The house floats by a window washer who is also shocked. And a flock of birds decide to join in on the journey. Carl looks out at the ground below and puts out sails which help him guide the house. He looks over at a photo of Ellie and kisses it. He’s finally beginning that journey they planned so many years ago.
Carl sits down comfortably in his chair and closes his eyes to rest. The house glides above the clouds. And all of a sudden, there is a knock at the door. Carl is in disbelief. He walks over to the door and looks out of the peep hole and sees nothing. But he still opens the door. And that is where the clip ended.
It was then explained that a 9-year-old wilderness explorer named Russell had stowaway on the house in an attempt to earn the final badge (assisting the elderly) he needs to become a senior wilderness explorer. The house eventually makes it to South America where Russell and Carl must slide to the ground using a garden hose. We were then shown more test footage of Carl and Russell dragging the house like a float in the Macy’s Day parade, with the floating home breaking through the leaves and branches high up in the jungle sky. Russel is tired and has to go to the bath room. He gets distracted and unhooks himself from the garden hose harness which results in Carl being dragged unwillingly into the air.
