Up Merchandise – Adventure Is Out There
How do you start an adventure? At Pixar, with a goodbye: "Up" from 2009 tells the story of Carl Fredricksen, who, after the death of his wife Ellie, honors their shared promise and sends their house flying toward Paradise Falls on thousands of balloons. On board: scout Russell, who just needs one more badge, and later the talking dog Dug and the flightless giant bird Kevin. Director Pete Docter created one of the studio's most emotional films with it – awarded two Oscars, including Best Animated Feature. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed "Up" merchandise: fan gear for anyone who sees a bunch of balloons and automatically thinks of a flying house.
Why this film stays with you
Because of the first ten minutes – and everything after. The montage of Carl and Ellie's life together comes with almost no dialogue and has made more adults cry than plenty of dramas manage; it gives everything that follows a weight animated films rarely reach. At the same time, "Up" is gloriously silly: Dug, who blurts out every thought the instant it occurs to him thanks to his talking collar ("Squirrel!"), the dog squadron in flight goggles, Russell's unshakeable eagerness. That mix is exactly what makes the designs work too – a balloon house functions as a symbol for setting off, loyalty, and wanderlust, all at once. Whoever wears it or displays it tells a whole story without saying a word.
