It’s been a monumental week, and I can’t think of a better way to bring it to a close than with a new Pixar trailer. The second spot for Up, the story of old man Carl Frederickson and his journey to South America, features a lot of the footage I wrote about back at Comic Con.
What I said then holds true now, though this clip puts much more upbeat music over what, in its theatrical form, will be a fairly quiet, wondrous sequence. That’s suitable for a trailer, though, especially when the task is selling a movie about a grumpy old coot and his flying house. Run this sucker back to back with the Gran Torino spot and see how people react.
Not that I care. I love shots like the one pictured above; note also the ever-present Pixar ball in the girl’s bedroom.
See the trailer in 480p at Disney. Thanks to /Film for the convenient direct link.
OK, the link above seems to be down for now. Gaze at the YouTube embed below until we can get something better.

i don't know what to think of this movie. why would kids want to watch a movie about an old crotchety man.
Crotchety old men are awesome, I can't wait to be one.
You can't go wrong with a movie starring Ed Asner, a fat kid and dinosaurs.
That Eliza Dushku pic gave me a boner.
I don't leave my house that much anymore. I kinda wish movies hit DVD at the same time as the big screens. I really feel like watching this movie right now. At home.
I like it. There's something kinda Terry Gilliam about this.
Looks good but it'll have to go a long way to reach the awesomeness off Russ Meyer's Up! (The exclamation mark's in the title by the way, I never use exclamation marks, unless I really, really need to)
This made my day. I am a Pixar fanatic and this will be yet another opening day trek to the cinema. Cool…
I wanna see that right now!!
Jeez, I dunno… The animation looks fantastic, but like… why does Pixar have to spend the first half of the trailer reminding us that they're cool? And also what the hell is this movie about? Like… I don't know if this would get a kid stoked, but it might make a baby giggle. But hey, the world just got some more babies to giggle, and that's totally cool.
Agreed, 'I'm Just Saying'. Pixar is a brand now. It's a household name, known for great movies. This smacks of Disney marketing idiots.
I like the idea of having an old person be the main character, as it delineates itself from all the rest of the kiddie fare, but also Pixar's own output. It's good to see them stretching.
A couple of those shots reminded me very much of Miyazaki's stuff. I hope there are a lot of those moments in the finished movie.
