The theatrical short opens for Disney and Pixar’s ‘Elemental’ on June 16; characters from the Oscar-winning ‘Up’ return to the big screen, with Carl reluctantly diving into the dating scene with the help of this loyal pup Dug.
Pixar Animation Studios has released an official trailer and images for its all-new theatrical short Carl’s Date ahead of its theatrical debut. The 3DCG animated film brings Doug and Carl back to the big screen on June 16 when it opens in theaters in front of Disney and Pixar’s Elemental. The release marks the return of the studio’s tradition of pairing its feature films with animated shorts on the big screen.
Written and directed by Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Bob Peterson and produced by Kim Collins, Carl’s Date reacquaints us with Carl Fredricksen (voice of Ed Asner) and his lovable talking dog, Dug (voice of Peterson), who were introduced in Pixar’s Oscar-winning feature Up. Moviegoers will catch up with Carl as he reluctantly agrees to go on a date with a lady friend—but admittedly, has no idea how dating works these days. Ever the helpful friend, Dug steps in to calm Carl’s pre-date jitters and offer some tried-and-true tips for making friends—if you’re a dog.
