Effets-Speciaux.info has posted two new photos from Pixar’s Up, which were unveiled at last month’s New York City Disney/Pixar event.
From the Academy Award®-nominated team of director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.) and co-director Bob Peterson comes Up, a comedic adventure taking off (and lifting spirits). Carl Fredricksen (voiced by Ed Asner) spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. Up takes audiences on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures. When seeking adventure next summer – look Up. Christopher Plummer voices the villian. Hopefully Disney will release higher resolution versions of the above photos soon. I’ve also included the previously released images from the production below.
Up will be released in Disney Digital 3-Dâ„¢ on May 29th 2009.

FIRST UP?!

The shot of the city springing up around the house reminded me of a book my 5yr old daughter loves to read:

Though when that little house is finally moved it is not by balloons.
I think unless/until Pixar finally releases a movie that is actually not good, they will have everyone’s rapt attention, and everyone’s $$.

Holy crap! You can almost fricken read the newspaper text. That’s incredible detail.

Heck, you can read the text. You can definitely read all the headlines–including a repeated headline (Berry Festival to Draw Big Crowd). I also like that the paper is “The Municiberg Herald” . . . the Municiberg, no doubt, from The Incredibles. Not exactly an Incredibles sequel (which I would love to see), but I love the reference back to the Incredibles. I wonder if the house ends up in Metroville.

The rendered shot of him opening the door looks cool. I’m guessing this is still just concept though and not a render from the movie. The only detail is in the character and newspaper. And, if you look a the newspaper, the article repeat on the left and right sides. Doesn’t look “perfect” enough to be a final frame. Especially if you look at the planes and airship. They have next to no detail. Still really cool though and the shots Pete is showing off look awesome!
