So I was watching the end of Monsters, Inc. on one of the Starz channels (a group of US cable channels that run movies, for those outside the US), and immediately after MI, they ran the promo for Up - their “Starz Saturday Premiere” for May 22! I know it’s about time for Up to start running on TV, and Starz runs the Pixar and Disney movies, but I was surprised (and happy) to see the preview. They touted it winning 2 Oscars (and mentioned which ones). Ha, I know I’m going to be turning this on every time I spot it in the schedule (even though I can put in the BR at any time). “Ooo, Up’s on, I wonder where they’re at…”
On Starz?! Already?!?
Yeah, that was my first reaction, too! But Up opened at the end of May last year, and it usually takes about a year for the movies to get on cable, so it really is about time. It’s surprising how quickly the time goes.
