Carl Fredricksen, a balloon salesman, had dreams of exploring the depths of South America with his childhood sweetheart, Ellie. He made a promise to his wife that they would trek to Paradise Falls but, sadly, Ellie passed away before that. Thinking life has passed him by, the 78-year-old widower does the unthinkable one day. Keeping his promise, he straps thousands of balloons to the roof of his house, uprooting for his own adventure.

Carl soon realizes, however, that he’s not alone on his ambitious quest. Russell, an eager 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer who was just trying to earn an extra badge, accidentally gets suckered in for the ride.  

The traveling duo’s journey includes exotic animals like a huge exotic bird Russell names Kevin and a talking dog named Dug. And they all soon realize that South America, which seems like a magical place, is in fact one filled with danger for Kevin. Can Carl, Russell and Dug protect him? Can they all make it through their journey safe and sound?
Whether you’ve seen the movie in theaters or haven’t seen it at all, the four-disc Blu-ray Combo Pack and two-disc DVD lends tons of bonus surprises for all as well. There’s “Dug’s Special Mission”--an original short film that follows the misadventures of the beloved dog Dug as he attempts to complete his “special mission.” There’s also the “Adventure is Out There”—an action-packed documentary of the filmmakers’ own trek to South America to research the design and story of the film.

Be sure to catch Up when it lands on DVD today and let us know your thoughts.
