Up

Whoa.

She also produced for Toy Story 4, The Good Dinosaur Cars 2, and Up.

Oh,

Good Dinosaur is underrated.

Little thing.

Whereas like in, let's say a Pixar movie, I've had this, you know, there's a movie called Up.

Have you seen that one?

I've seen bits and pieces of it.

I know last week...

Last week, we talked about Up having, like, one of the best opening moments when it comes to him and Ellie, Carl and Ellie.

Like, that's the best of Pixar.

And I don't know what to discuss, but in my humble opinion, Toy Story 3 has the best ending.

Especially...

Because I'm gonna be honest with you.

Up until the trash part, I was like, I'm like, how bad of a villain is he really? Because, because look, let's do this explanation.

Hey, we don't like the way that toddlers play.

The choices were a little strange at times.

The Up, it was quite a cool first room.

The exterior of the Up house...

I guess that's like such an iconic thing that you have to have that, right?

Oh, I knew that.

sure.

Because there were some cool spaces.

Like I said, the exterior of the Uphouse was cool.

And I think that's in the nature of the story or lack thereof that the film has.

And so it's using this logic that my companion piece of this film is the Pixar film Up.

Even though, as you can see, very different films, much less racism and homophobia and the like in Up.

But Up to me is a film which, first 10 minutes, they're heartbreaking.

They wring the emotions out of you like a wet sponge.

And I never really connected that much to the bulk of the film.

Oops.

Disney Pixar's Up.

What do these do, boy?

Would you ..." contigo.

[upbeat music]

All aboard the Animation Station, taking a journey through the Pixar cinematic universe.

Our next film is Pixar's 10th feature film, Up, from 2009.

Now, here's the guy who always has the spirit of adventure and the spirit of podcasting, the Brazilian dragon himself, Felipe Shimon.

One correction people love online.

This did not invent Pixar's Up.

Separate film.

His story fed other culture.

Danny Deckchair, Cluster Ballooning, Copycats, Museum Legend do not sell the Up claim as fact.

So for Matt's unanswered list.

Strapped hard.

Oh

... you know, Pixar's Up, you know, I, I, I did contact Pete Docter, who the writer-director of Up, and I'm like... 'Cause there's all kinds of cultural references to Larry's, you know...

And, and people can look up on YouTube if they're curious.

Like, there's a great interview on Letterman.

You know, he wanted to inspire other people to live out their dreams.

And, um, [lips smack] Pete Docter, I think, was-- I remember him saying he was maybe seven or eight years old when, when the movie came out.

And, uh, 'cause a lot of people, when they hear about it, they're like, "Oh, it's like Pixar's Up." Like, that's probably the most common first kinda, you know, response that people have.

Um, [lips smack] but it predates Up.

Like, there was, like, so much easier stuff to market.

Meanwhile, I think something like a WALL-E as well as something like a Ratatouille is a very hard thing to market, and I think we'll talk about this more next week with Up as well.

Like, another movie I think is hard to market, especially to kids.

So I can under-

[laughs]

And I'm excited about that.

And I also am optimistic about Up.

Maybe Up does the same thing.
