The Up Panel at SDCC'08

News

SproutBlog has posted a full report of the Bolt/Up Panel at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con today.  What we learn? 

  • Up looks like a Pixar-meets-Miyazaki art film version of About Schmidt.
  • (Potential Spoiler, Highlight to read) Okay, so Carl had always promised his wife that he’d take her to see these mountains, but she died before they could go. Carl’s about to get taken to a nursing home, when he unleashes a mass of helium-filled balloons into the sky, and his house takes off with Carl inside, bound for Venezuela. Carl charts a course south, then settles into his easy chair. As the house floats along serently at 10,000 feet, there’s a knock on the front door. Carl has a stowaway. A young, chubby boy scout.
  • Up is very sweet and melancholy at times.
Also, they have skinned more elevators throughout the Gaslamp district with the Up environment, just like this one.
Finally, the Up website has launched and it includes a bit of a teaser trailer.
