Unbeknownst to Carl, an incredibly enthusiastic 8-year-old boy named Russell has come along for the ride looking to earn his last Wilderness Explorer badge.
Up: Another Major Pixar Success
From the press notes handed out at my screening of Up, I learned that Walt Disney believed that for every laugh there should be a tear, a sort of Newton's third law of entertainment. If he were around to see this movie, which upholds that "law" to a T, I have a feeling Mr. Disney's head would swell with pride — and perhaps take him up into the air like one of the many colorful balloons in the movie. See?

Movie Preview: Up Gets a Full-Length Trailer
I was just talking about the adorableness of Pixar's newest movie Up when I was lucky enough to catch a 45-minute preview screening of it at WonderCon. Now everyone can watch a full-length trailer that sheds a little more light on the premise than the earlier teaser did — or does it? We already knew the story's about a curmudgeonly little old man named Carl (voiced by Edward Asner) who rigs up his house with balloons and flies away.
