The first 45 minutes of UP were not just the very best pieces of footage fest shown at BNAT – it was the VERY BEST THING shown at BNAT. Period. Long ago, seemingly in a galaxy far, far away, I was the guy who just wasn’t into Pixar like everybody else around here. But they keep getting better and better. As much as I LOVED Wall-E, this had me involved and in love within the first ten minutes.

Hey folks, Harry here... Aren't you curious as hell about where this film is going? In some ways it feels like the most Miyazaki of all PIXAR films from what we've seen thus far, but the narration's insistence that he'll be exploring a lost world... What's UP? Personally, I can't wait to find out!

Put simply, Pete Docter's UP is the tale of an adventurer who travels via house to the jungles of South America. That's probably unique enough, but here's the kicker: our daring protagonist is the kind of fellow who pays half-price at the movies and eats his dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon.

Hey folks, Harry here... I really have no clue about UP - I know that one of our non-Quint AICN agents sat with the director of this... I believe it was Mr Beaks - but I could be confused, because I'm getting old. I really am. But not as old as the guy on the front porch you'll be seeing shortly. Unless you wait to see it when we repost with an Apple HD version - which I have to believe is coming shortly. Here ya go - the latest PIXAR teaser...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Instead of dropping 3 paragraph stories for each title covered in the big Disney Animation Presentation, I think I’m going to break it up into two more stories. One will covered Pixar and their slate and the other will cover the slate of Disney Animation.
This one is Pixar-centric. I’ll write up Disney’s tomorrow.
Here will be news, footage, stills and filmmaker discussions about WALL-E, UP, TOY STORY 3, NEWT and the theatrical re-releases of TOY STORYs 1 and 2.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Any news is good news when it comes to Pixar projects. And I like the way this new one is sounding.
Of course, they have WALL-E for next summer, but the project after that is called UP, about a 70 year old man who teams with a wilderness ranger to fight "beasts and villains." I'm hoping there's a supernatural bent to this and beasts means monsters.
Pete Docter (MONSTERS, INC) directs with Pixar vet Bob Peterson, who also wrote the script.
