The Real-Life Story Behind Pixar's Up Is More Heartbreaking Than The Film
The events of Pixar’s Up happen because Carl refuses to sell his house to constructors, but the real story behind that house is more heartbreaking.
Up (2009)
Pixar's Up follows widower Carl (Ed Asner) who travels to South America with young wilderness explorer Russell (Jordan Nagai) by attaching thousands of balloons to his home after the bank threatens to foreclose on it. Discovering the legendary Paradise Falls, Carl meets his childhood hero, explorer Charles Muntz. However, Muntz isn't the kind-hearted man Carl hoped he would be, and the grieving widower finds himself pitted against his former idol.
