The sequel to Pixar: Up hits theaters this week

In 2009, Pixar released one of its most moving films, Pete Docter and Bob Peterson’s Up.

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (and Best Music), the feature film follows the journey of Carl Fredriksen, a retired balloon salesman who ties thousands of balloons to his home and journeys to the lost world of his childhood dreams. But, unbeknownst to him, Carl had brought Russell, an 8-year-old boy, to the wrong place at the wrong time. Carl quickly learns that life’s greatest adventures aren’t what you think.

After 14 years, Carl is back with a new animated adventure called Bob Peterson’s Carl’s Date Night. The old man now lives with Doug, a talking dog he met on a previous adventure, and is preparing for a date.

Ever so helpful, Doug steps in to calm his master’s anxieties and give him some well-thought-out advice… except his point of view is pure canine, which isn’t for nothing!

The 6-minute film will be screened in participating cinemas starting June 21st during the Élémentaire preview.

Thus, Pixar is reviving the tradition of associating an animated short with a new major film, as was the case in the past for Bao (nominated at the Oscars in 2018), which accompanied the theatrical release of Incredibles 2.

Directed by Peter Sohn (Passages Nuageux, Le Voyage d’Arlo), Elementary features the elements and tells the story of the meeting between Flemme, a brash and lively young Alice with a strong character, and Flack, a sentimental water and cheerful, more follower. in the heart Their friendship challenges Flem’s beliefs about the world in which they live.
