The story of Up intertwines the adventures and goals of four main characters, Carl Fredricksen, the grumpy old man who’s always wanted to embark on an adventure, Russell, the excitable boy scout, and later on, Dug and Kevin, mysterious animals stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Now the full cast of Up has been revealed, including some familiar characters (and their unfamiliar voices) and some we haven’t heard of before. Beware of possible spoilers ahead:
Ed Asner — Carl Fredricksen
Christopher Plummer — Charles Muntz
Jordan Nagai — Russell
Bob Peterson — Dug & Alpha
Delroy Lindo — Beta
Jerome Ranft — Gamma
John Ratzenberger — Construction Foreman Tom
David Kaye — Newsreel Announcer
Mickie McGowan — Police Officer Edith
Danny Mann — Construction Worker Steve
Donald Fullilove — Nurse George
Jess Harnell — Nurse AJ
Josh Cooley — Omega
Pete Docter — Campmaster Strauch
Notes on Newly Revealed Voices: If you’ve been following the movie well enough, you’ll already know about the first 5-8 characters on the list. But what you may not know is who’s playing characters like Muntz’s dogs Alpha, Beta, Gamma… and Omega! As you can see above Jerome Ranft and Delroy Lindo are involved alongside Bob Peterson who also portrays Alpha alongside Dug. Some other characters are listed that seem like they’re from the first part of the film back in Carl’s city. Oh, and director Pete Docter is playing Campmaster Strauch, I wonder what his involvement in the story is. Speaking of Pete Docter, I noticed they missed the voice of Ellie, which is his daughter Elizabeth Docter.

Awesome that Pete Docter gets his voice in. Someone on the IMDB forums was talking about him playing that same part.
Also, why is there no listing for Ellie?
I just noticed they missed Ellie too!! I wonder why she’s not there too, I know Pete Docter’s daughter Elizabeth plays her…
Ellie isn’t listed because she doesn’t have any dialouge. The first couple of minutes of the film are silent.
I think young Ellie does have some dialogue but not her older counterpart.
