Dug Days

Such a wonderful return for Carl and Dug, 2 of the wonderful characters from Pixar's Up.

All these episodes are very brief at between 5-10mins in actual run time, but they still manage to capture all of the magic from their original animated feature.

Carl is a little older and a bit less cranky, Dug is still, well...Dug, and he does in one episode finally come face to face with his nemesis...the squirrel!

These are charming and heart warming little episodes, and it's lovely to see where Carl and Dug end up.

Not much more to be said. These shorts are our gold, laughable, loveable sunshine!

I loved seeing these characters come back after so many years ago. Made my heart happy! RIP Ed Asner.

I'm not sure if anymore performances are coming but Asner had the good fortune to go out with these shorts being among his final work. They are delightful. They are droll. They manage to be a touching portrayal of the bond between an older owner and their new dog.

Dug is such a perfectly realized character; his animation, his dialog and personality are quintessentially the lovable family dog. This is more than solid Pixar. This is a great series of short films.

Funny. Heartwarming. And while there isn't anything in Dug Days that packs the same emotional wallop as the "Married Life" sequence, the final episode should make you well up just the same.
