To tell you the truth, it never occurred to me that Russell, the main character in Disney/Pixar Up, is Asian-American. But he is and he’s even modeled after one of Pixar’s own animators named Pete Sohn (shown below left). I can see the resemblance now. Given the very few Asian-American leads in American films, this is a pretty neat tidbit of info I’ll take with me when I get a chance to see Up in theaters. :)
Thanks Denise!

MSN just debuted a new clip from Up and it prolongs the already-funny scene where Russell asks Carl if he needs any assistance.
I really hope they aren’t showing the best clips from the film in these previews. Anyway, the more I see these videos, the more I can’t wait for the film to be released! This might turn out to be one of my favorite Pixar films (I have a good feeling about it!).

Pixar has released another image to tease us about the upcoming release of Up.
The new image shows Kevin the prehistoric bird in full (whereas he was only partially being shown in previous stills).

Disney/Pixar have posted another Upisode to their trailer website. The new Upisode is titled First Aid and shows Russell enthusiastically trying to open a band-aid to take care of Carl’s “snake bite”.
Can’t wait until this film comes out on May 26th!
