Well, I just don’t know what to think here, I still hardly know anything about the plot (all we have is 1 paragraph) and I just don’t know how I’m gonna’ feel about this one.
Also, this ‘teaser, teaser’ doesn’t say much of anything new, but it still looks really nice and I enjoyed it.
I just knew WALL-E was going to be my type of movie right away, with UP I just can’t tell.
Well, it is shorter than what I expected, but it is enough to get people to know what Pixar has got in store next.
This has got me pumped, I do wish it was longer, but seriosuly, if a few seconds of footage can get you excited, you know it’s gonna be good. Also I really like the character design.
squee! wall-e isn’t even out over here, but the Up teaser is already up!(pun not intended) yay! that means we won’t have to wait as long for the next pixar feature release!(=
Hey guys! I just got back from the Comic-Con today, and had the awesome pleasure to sit up and see Pete Docter himself!
All I gotta say, is it was an amazing experience, and about 10-15 minutes of the actual film from Up was shown at his presentation.
All I gotta say with that 10-15 minutes of movie playtime is, Up looks absolutely amazing! It looks like it will be another tremendous hit, and I absolutely love the film already. The presentation also showed some of the scout character Russel, and he was absolutely hilarious. The scout is basically this short, fat, little chubby kid, and the sequence that featured him and Carl in the forest was hilarious as he appeared to be dying from exhaustion.
Also, the music I heard in the film that I’ve seen so far was beautiful. It sounds like Michael Giacchino is going to have another amazing score. With what I heard already, I’m already sold.
So yeah. I’m quite exhausted still, and trying to cram everything I saw in one little post that I saw at Comic-Con today, but that would be difficult. So I’m limiting myself to talk about the latest Pixar film, which I’m sure is what you all really wanted to hear. 
Yep, unfortunately, I doubt any of these videos will make it to the internet, unless people ILLEGALLY post them, so footage is all confidential to only the conference room. Sorry guys. So now that I finally got to see a good amount of ‘Up’, and other goodies from Pete Docter, I can happily say this will be a real treat, and very humorous.
If there’s one thing I can show you guys, I took a quick snapshot of Pete Doc today! The quality turned out bad, because I didn’t have the time to adjust anything because the batteries were dead, but I’m sure you can recognize his figure in this pic!

Disney_Guy: I have a question, do you think the people “streamed” out of the room because they were dissatisfied (which is hard to believe since all of the bloggers loved (and even cried after seeing) the footage), or because they wanted to rush and blog about what they had seen, or there was another big presentation happening soon?
I am really excited for this. I love the brief animation on the website. It really helps me figure out how the film’s gonna feel. I’m pumped.
Dissatisfied people leaving the press room?
Uhh, I really don’t know what to say about that. Everyone seemed excited for the new film, and I heard lots of cheers.
As for people leaving, that’s probably because they left because they already got to see what they wanted to see. People have been coming and going in and out of the press area, and there were lots of films shown exclusively at the press, and interactions with all the movie stars and Directors and whatnot.
So I wouldn’t think it was because of people were dissatisfied with any of the movies shown, but because they already saw what they came for, and are not interested in the next panel.
But hey, what the heck, if anyone was dissatisfied with anything, it wouldn’t be my problem - because I’m telling you now that I was completely satisfied with everything that was shown from the Pixar panel (Errr, Pete Doc).
By the way, how would you know about people scrambling in and out of the area? Is there a video or something somewhere on the internet with this stuff?
Haha… I can gladly say I saw much more than that little teaser… Much much more.
I’m so glad I went to see Pete Docter today, because if I didn’t and only found out that that was all the outsiders would get to see, I would probably be bummed knowing people at the press get to see much more.
Oh, well of course I would have loved to see that footage! But as painful it is, the less I see before I watch the film, the better.
Disney_Guy: Well most posts about the panel write about how much they LOVED the footage, and how SUPER EXCITED they were and how it was breaking new ground for what animation could be. They also mentioned that once the Q & A started, a surprising amount of people left. But now my worries are over. i was guessing that’s why (what you said), but i just wanted confirmation from a person who was there.
I would love to see a tape of the Q & A, but those don’t always show up.
That was short… but to the point, I guess. I’d already seen a few images/concept art so I knew that the balloons were making the house float. I’d imagine that it would make the audience pay attention and they’d be like “Did ya see that? The house was floating!” It was also good to hear the man’s voice. I expected him to sound rickety, like Geri, but I suppose if he is adventurous, then his voice would have a lot of energy too, despite his age. I feel like I’ve heard that old man’s voice in a Pixar film, before…
Hard to know if this is a teaser. Seems like more of an Internet-only thing. I think this one could do its job at the cinemas if this is it, but wouldn’t have the impact that a more detailed teaser would. I hope a longer/different version comes out. Guess we will have to just wait and see. And bring on the HD version already!
EDIT: According to Slashfilm, the full teaser will be included with the WALL•E DVD, so this isn’t it after all.
Disney_Guy: Thanks for the mini write-up. The part where [spoil]Russell is huffing and puffing from exhaustion sounds hilarious.[/spoil] I’m also excited to hear that Michael Giacchino’s score sounds fantastic already.
Yeah, I assume not everyone there are complete geeks over the company, so a guy like Pete Docter… “Who’s this guy?” I would assume some people would think. Maybe people went to see what they wanted to see, the Bolt and Up presentations.
Yes, I think the Q&A for Up were quite something. Most of the questions seemed to come from passionate Pixar fans, and they really asked questions that really got good feedback from Doc.
The first one came from a man claimed to be Mr. Incredible himself (Yes, he was dressed up like Mr. Incredible, and looked quite like him), asked what kind of degrees it takes to get a chance to join Pixar as an animator. Doc’s response was that you didn’t need one… He said that as long as you got movies to show them, you can get hired. And my favorite thing he said about the question went something a little like “So yeah, start making films, and soon you will get a collection. We hope to see you soon, Mr. Incredible.” And Doc had such a big smile when he said that, and everyone applauded. 
Haha, yes.
This was the part when Russel and Carl are pulling the house from the ground through the jungle strapped to I think with garden hoses.
Russel was so tired he actually passed out and floats for some time by hanging from the strap, then lowers to the ground with his face in the dirt, and Carl kept trying to go forward, and Russel stiff as a rock, is getting his face dragged through the dirt! But in an instance, a bug flies by and he jets up and runs after it, leaving the house behind. Carl then gets lifted up into the sky, and I guess hits a tree or something, because you can hear ruckus when his body leaves screen. It was all so comical, and I loved it.
rachelcakes1985: You said you’ve heard the old man’s voice in a Pixar film before, and I think you’re right. I immediately recognized it and, I’m not sure mind you, but it sounded like Bud Luckey to me.
My 4 year old sister saw the teaser for Up with me and after she saw it she said
"A house flying? i want to see that movie! "
so even though it was really short and not that much information
i really want to see this movie
And now that you mentioned it that guy dose sound like Bud Luckey
It’s actually Ed Asner, but they do sound similar in that clip. 
It just looks so cool. And the old man’s nonchalantness is funny. I want to see more footage, but that’s definitely a good thing, since this is only a sort of teaser. The whole concept is so alien that a simple demonstration of said concept is bound to intrigue anyone who watches it.
The teaser looks good, but the balloons look like there poorly animated to me.
What the teaser doesn’t show is Carl installed sails out of what could have been bed sheets on the sides of the house, and I think there was a steering wheel (Not quite sure I remember, or if he was just looking out the window as he flew away). So the movie wont be just some random house floating around aimlessly, and just happens to fly to his South American destination - but Carl actually puts in a little more engineering than just releasing a ton of balloons.
Huh? They look really good to me.
My thoughts on the teaser are neutral. Just kinda meh. But I have a very hard to break trust in Pixar Animation. Like always, I’m gonna eat any negative thoughts if I give them a year from now probably, so I won’t bother. XD
