Up

From Disney•Pixar comes an animated comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen (voice of Ed Asner), who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 9-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell (Jordan Nagai). Directed by Pete Docter (Academy Award nominee for Monsters, Inc.) and written and co-directed by Bob Peterson (Finding Nemo), Up invites you on a hilarious journey into a lost world, with the least likely duo on Earth.
