Pixar's Newest Theatrical Short Is About Carl From "Up" Going On His First Date Since Ellie's Death, And People Aren't Emotionally Ready

1 year ago 5

Get ready to ugly cry in the movie theater, everyone.

It's been 14 years since the opening sequence of Up had us all crying in our seats.

Even without any words and told within just a few minutes, you truly get enveloped in Carl and Ellie's life together. And then truly feel the heartbreak when Ellie dies, leaving Carl lost about what to do with his life without her.

Of course, after the whole adventure, the movie ends with Carl finding some closure and building a friendship with Russell.

Well earlier today, Disney announced that we would be getting a new short based on Up called "Carl's Date," which will play before the new upcoming Pixar film, Elemental.

The short follows Carl as he gets ready for his first date since Ellie's death. "Carl's Date" also is a tribute to the late Ed Asner, who voiced the character in both the film and this short.

Needless to say, news of the new short had everyone remembering how much they loved Up. So I decided to roundup some tweets that truly capture how everyone is feeling about this:

And in case you think, Oh, I am not going to cry! Well, a few people have already seen the short and yes, it truly will.

They also surprised us with a screening of Carl's Date, an incredibly sweet short featuring the late Ed Asner. They've been holding onto it for a while, but it's gonna play before Elemental this June. So, y'know, if the opening of UP still makes you cry... get ready for THAT.
