Dug Days Trailer
Up is a very memorable film to me because it shows reality grieving and also pursuing your dreams. The movie starts with the love story between Carl and Ellie. Childhood sweethearts who became lovers and eventually got married. They never get to have children because Ellie always have miscarriages. When Ellie died, Carl was all alone as a 78 year old. He tried to have the adventure he promised to Ellie to visit the Paradise falls by attaching is house with balloons. The Boy scout Russell stowaway on his flying house and they get to embark in an adventure and meet Dug (Bob Peterson). I won’t give away more plot from the original film but I highly recommend for you to watch it yourself.
Dug Days will follow the perspective of Dug the talking dog after the events of UP. We will get to see her adventures in the suburbs and live the life of a normal dog. Yeah he is able to talk but he is pretty much a normal dog who is playful and curious. This show could be similar to the Toy story shorts.
It was a mystery for that the film never had a sequel because it made 735.1 million USD in the box office. Watching Up is a must before you start watching Dug Days. The show will have five episodes and it will be a great way to catch up to what Carl and Russell has been doing. Russell didn’t age so this series is set within the same year as the movie.
