\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe were very lucky to not only get an advance screening of Dug Days<\/em>, but we even got to (virtually) sit down with Bob and Kim and learn all about how it was made! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe first season of Dug Days <\/em>is 5 episodes (all just under 10 minutes long) exploring Carl and Dug’s life together after the exciting adventures of Up<\/em>. Immediately after returning to civilisation on Charles Muntz’s blimp, Carl sells this aircraft to purchase a new home. Dug Days <\/em>is centred around Carl and Dug’s relationship as they embark on a new adventure – suburban life! <\/p>\n\n\n\nRussell eventually moves in next door, and is seen visiting the two of them in one of the episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40016-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40016-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40016-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40016-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40016-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40016.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cast<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAll <\/em>the returning characters are voiced by the same voice actors. Ed Asner makes a return as Carl Fredricksen, director Bob Peterson reprises his role as Dug, and Russell is still voiced by Jordan Nagai. With Nagai no longer being a sweet 9 year old kid, a clever solution was found: all of Russell’s lines in Dug Days <\/em>are unused lines from Up <\/em>that the team managed to repurpose<\/strong> (including a new Wilderness Explorer-themed song!).<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are also some new characters, namely the garden visitors that Dug gets acquainted with: a beautiful blue jay, and – much to our excitement – a squirrel<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40096-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40096-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40096-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40096-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40096-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-_-Official-Trailer-_-Disney.mp40096.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fun Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe joys of working from home<\/strong> Dug Days<\/em> was of course another recent Pixar project that needed to be completed almost entirely from home due to the pandemic. Luckily Ed Asner had recorded his lines pre-COVID, but all the other voice actors had to record themselves in makeshift recording studios in their houses. Bob Peterson used his tiny cupboard under the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA familiar frog and Ferris wheel<\/strong> There are plenty of easter eggs in Dug Days, <\/em>but here are a couple to look out for: the Ferris wheel in the Fireworks episode is the same Ferris wheel seen in Toy Story 4<\/em>, and you’ll be able to spot a little frog ornament in Carl and Dug’s house that looks an awful lot like the frog ‘alarm clock’ seen in Up<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nModelled after a real house<\/strong> Carl and Dug move into a house that’s numbered 333, and it’s modelled after Bob Peterson’s grandmother’s house. Carl and Ellie’s house in Up <\/em>was the number 18, the house number of Bob’s other grandparents! <\/p>\n\n\n\nCarl’s new hobby<\/strong> This is just a really sweet thing to pick up on – Carl has gotten into woodworking since getting home from Paradise Falls. See if you can find some examples of his work on September 1st!<\/p>\n\n\n\nPete Docter’s macarons<\/strong> Apparently Pete Docter has a bit of a sweet tooth, so the Dug Days <\/em>team put a box of macarons on Carl Fredricksen’s table. They’re made by the company “Pete’s Macarons”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"689\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com\/upcomingpixar\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-689x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-689x1024.jpg 689w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-768x1142.jpg 768w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-1033x1536.jpg 1033w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days-1378x2048.jpg 1378w, https:\/\/up.pixarpla.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Dug-Days.jpg 1702w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe hope everyone enjoys Dug Days<\/em> as much as we did when it releases on Disney+ on September 1st!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\">The first season of Dug Days is premiering on Disney+ on September 1st.
