So here’s something clever! In addition to traditional trailers, the movie Up is releasing small sections of the movie in the form of “Upisodes.”
Here’s the first one:
It’s a cute look at the “odd couple” of Carl and Russell, who seem entirely mismatched in their polar opposites. We get a better look at Russell’s overeager personality and Carl lightens up a bit when he hears Russell’s snarl–which isn’t a Russell at all.
I’m not entirely sure if these upisodes are clips from the movie or not. I have a feeling they’re online only, which I think is a great idea for the movie. If there’s anything Pixar knows about, it’s characters and animated shorts. There’s not much going on in the background of the upisode, but it’s a good start at fleshing out both Carl and Russell.
Upisode 2 has already been released, and continues the jungle adventures of our two “heroes”:
Up releases May 29th, 2009.
