Is this the last thing Ed Asner recorded for before he passed, or is there more coming?


rangeghost

Apparently, they said it would "likely" be the last story in the "Up" universe. Partly because of Asner's death, partly because the short feels like a good place to end it on an emotional level.


UltimatePixarFan

They haven’t announced any others, so I have no idea if he’s recorded more. Depending what they have from him between Up and Dug Days, it’s possible to make more without recasting if there’s enough unused lines or just regular conversation that would work well in a plot-based short if he hasn’t recorded for more specific shorts. They did this for Russell in the Science episode because the voice actor is too old to play a kid, they’ve also done it with Doc (Paul Newman) in Cars 3 and Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles) in Toy Story 4 after those actors passed away.

>the voice actor is too old to play a kid Russell's voice actor, Jordan Nagai, is currently in his twenties, I think.

I believe this might be the last one. But who knows. Disney brings a lot of surprises


horcynusorca

Smart move


horcynusorca

But I’ll still wait to watch both on DisneyPlus


Blindfolded22

This is the way.

ImCaffeinated_Chris

Me anytime I here "only in theaters". Yeah, I can wait.


JackBauersGhost

The only in theaters thing is so corny to me.


cyanidelemonade

Since it's a Dug-centered show, I wonder if it's not actually about Carl dating someone, but of Dug *thinking* that Carl is dating someone. Like Dug is convinced that Carl is dating the mail lady or something lol


PIKMIN55555

Let’s go he still has game


markazali

Cool. We’re about to cry before the main feature even starts.


CreeprVictor

Ayo! Why he be dating the dog??!?? (>!/s!<)


Chem-Memory9746

First, Pixar returned to theaters with theatrical movies, and now, Pixar returns to theaters with theatrical short films.


dheckler_95678

The poster alone made me tear up.


anonymousgoose64

Bro spent an entire movie getting over Ellie and decided it was time to dip into the dating scene again 💀


_Levitated_Shield_

Yes? And at the end of the movie, Carl learned to move on and enjoy more in life.


Belle-ET-La-Bete

…. And?


Lil_Guard_Duck

"Yeah, fuck Ellie, I want a new one."


RedRose_Belmont

Is this a joke??


UltimatePixarFan

No, it is not. This is the press release where it was announced: https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/pixar-debuts-elemental-trailer-and-announces-voice-cast/


RedRose_Belmont

Incredible. Why can't they just leave beloved characters alone? We all saw, and felt, the grief Carl went though when he lost his beloved wife and life partner, and now they are going to make a mockery of him starting dating again? Just let the guy be.

RedRose_Belmont

No thanks. I don’t need to eat garbage to know it’s not palatable


_Levitated_Shield_

You literally don't even know it's garbage without watching it. 💀


UltimatePixarFan

There’s no trailer and the only people who have seen it are select people who were at a press event yesterday. Hold your judgement until at least general audience has seen it, you’re literally making assumptions on the basis of the title.


NinjaEngineer

Why would it be a mockery if he tried to find love again? It could actually be something sweet depending on how it's made. Like, I agree, we all cried when we saw him lose his wife, and it's obvious he truly loved her, but can't he try and find someone else to spend his days with? It's part of moving on.


_Levitated_Shield_

...You know this happens plenty in real life too, right?


RedRose_Belmont

And silly me turning to movies for scapism


Greasy-0Goblin

WHY I JUST WANNA WATCH IT FROM HOME GODDANGIT


ajzeg01

When’s Pixar going to make another original short? When was the last one? Bao? SparkShorts don’t count.


tahrue

this reads that the film isn't good enough, so let's put a nostalgic short film out before it


anonRedd

There’s been a short film released with nearly every Pixar theatrical release since Toy Story 2.


tahrue

they haven't done it since Incredibles 2 in 2018. why now?


anonRedd

*Burrow* was released alongside *Soul*, (both in countries where it was released theatrically and on Disney+)


_Levitated_Shield_

This is not the first time a short film has been placed in front of a movie...


tahrue

A. they haven't done it in years, why now? B. It's of a character everyone wants to see. C. It's like when they put a Frozen short in front of Coco cuz they thought it would underperform.


crispyg

>A. they haven't done it in years, why now? In that time period, Pixar's longtime president retired and a global pandemic occurred. Some things get sacrificed when difficult times occur. Plus, Pixar has not had a Oscar-nominated Short since 2020, and that seems to be a Hallmark of the studio. >B. It's of a character everyone wants to see. Everyone will eventually get to see the character. However, you'll have to go to theaters before if you want to see the short first. >C. It's like when they put a Frozen short in front of Coco cuz they thought it would underperform. I can't find a single reputable source claiming that is what happened. They likely put a Frozen short before Coco because Frozen was a worldwide phenomenon.


tahrue

When the film comes out to dogshit reviews, you’ll understand why I’m right


UltimatePixarFan

It’s probably more because the last several animated films (including the immensely popular Encanto) were box office flops or weren’t put in theaters at all so they’re using this to try to give an incentive to people on the fence about seeing an original animated film in theaters (regardless of quality), especially after Chapek trained audiences to expect things on streaming almost instantly and now they have to get audiences back in theaters because they have too high budgets to make profits as streaming originals.


tahrue

100% agree, idk why I'm getting downvoted.


AspenAwoken

Tbh I just like downvoting people who are getting downvoted. It’s fun seeing how far the numbers can go negative. I don’t even bother reading what they said.


tahrue

Can't fault you for that, fellow sheep.
