Bienvenue chez Doug

Just a good Pixar hug, with beloved characters in sweet situations. In these troubled times, it feels good to disconnect with something lovely. Sadly, this comes just as Ed Asner, Carl's voice, passed away, so this makes it bittersweet, but still...More sweet than bitter.

This deeply charming companion/spin-off/afterward to Pixar's Up is exactly what you'd want from a "Pixar TV series" being both pleasantly brief, fantastically executed and brilliantly fun. It also came with an undertone of unintentional melancholy due to the release's proximity to the death of Ed Asner - but it's a really beautifully crafted little show and serves as a fittingly respectful epitaph to his long career. Hopefully on Disney+ we get a few more Pixar excursions like this.

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.

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.

I enjoyed and loved seeing the life of Dug (and Carl) after their adventures in Up!
