It was an especially exciting release at the time, being the first Disney/Pixar animated movie in 3D. Up tells the story of 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who in a determined effort to defy his helpless senior citizen status and fulfill a lifelong dream, ties thousands of balloons to his house and floats away to South America. Soon after his remarkable lift-off, Carl finds that he has a stowaway: an 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. The two find a lost world full of incredible adventures and must learn to survive their new surroundings—and each other. 01 of 12 Carl and Russell in South America in the Movie 'Up' Disney/Pixar Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner), shown on the right, and Russell (Jordan Nagai), shown on the left, float away to South America. 02 of 12 Stowaway Disney/Pixar Wilderness Explorer Russell (Jordan Nagai) stows away when Carl Fredricksen's (Ed Asner) house floats to South America. 03 of 12 Let Go of Kevin!
