    Up coming to DVD and Blu-ray



    Disney/Pixar's latest brilliant release, Up, arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on November 10!

    Check out these features:

    • Commentary by director Pete Docter and co-director Bob Peterson.

    • Dug’s Special Mission – An all new original short film that follows the
    misadventures of Dug as he attempts to complete his “special mission.” The
    short is directed by Up Story Supervisor, Ronnie Del Carmen.

    • The Many Endings of Muntz – Many ideas were hatched about how to dispose
    of the film’s arch villain, Muntz, and now viewers can see the many alternate
    endings proposed during story development.

    • Partly Cloudy –The hilarious short film that preceded screenings of Up.
    Everyone knows that the stork delivers babies, but where do the storks get the
    babies? The answer lies up in the stratosphere where the cloud Gus is a master
    at creating “dangerous” babies, which prove to be more than a handful for his
    loval delivery stork Peck. Directed by Pixar story artist, animator and voice actor
    Peter Sohn.

    • Adventure is Out There – This action-packed documentary tells the story of the
    filmmakers’ own trek to the tepuis mountains of South America to research the
    design and story of the film.

    And, only on Blu-ray Hi-Def, hours of features, and behind-the scenes bonus features,
    including:

    • Cine-Explore – A visual montage of concept art, clips and documentary
    coverage that illustrates the directors’ commentary.

    • Geriatric Hero – A character study of Carl, from research to realization including
    art and design, rigging, animation and story. It focuses on the issues of aging,
    “simplexity”, shape-language and compelling character arcs.

    • Canine Companions – For anyone who ever wondered where CG puppies
    come from, an introduction to the design, behavior and language of dogs.

    • Russell: Wilderness Explorer – A character study of Russell from inspiration
    and design to finding the character arc and authentic voice for this wilderness
    ranger.

    • Our Giant Flightless Friend, Kevin – Find out how avian research and
    development at Pixar helped bring a mythical, 13-foot tall iridescent bird to life.

    • Homemakers of Pixar – Carl and Ellie’s house is an important “character” in the
    film. Fans follow the development of the house from story to art to its ultimate
    realization in the computer.

    • Balloons and Flight – Carl’s house and Muntz's dirigible presented the
    filmmakers with two different problems—how could they make a physical
    impossibility possible? And, in the case of the dirigible, how would they unearth a
    fallen giant and let it soar?

    • Composing for Characters – Composer Michael Giacchino returns to score his
    third Disney•Pixar feature film. See how the Up filmmakers collaborated with
    Giacchino to create the memorable score and compelling musical themes.

    • Married Life – The original story concept that became the powerful “Married Life”
    scene, showing Carl and Ellie’s love story.

    • Global Guardian Badge Game – Players try to locate countries, states and
    capitals around the globe in a multi-layered BD-Exclusive geography game
    enhanced by BD-Live.

    Can't wait!
