“Don’t worry, Ellie. We will build our home there.”

He had a nasty stowaway in Russell, and now he had landed in a different place from where he and Ellie had planned to build their home years ago. However, Carl is undaunted, holding a photo of the waterfall as a souvenir and talking proudly to his dead wife, telling her that they will get the house where it belongs, even if it means moving it himself.

It’s a sweet note that Carl still whispers to his dead wife, which he does throughout the film, talking to her as if she were still there. This also shows how determined Carl’s character is. and even at 70 years old and using a walker, he’s more than willing to make the hike to Paradise Falls if it means keeping the promise he made to the woman he loves.

“Hello! My name is Doug. I just met you and I love you.”

Dug up

Doug is one of the strangest movie pets, and also one of the cutest. A member of Charles Muntz’s (Christopher Plummer) pack of dogs who all wear dog-to-human translator collars, Doug is a pushed around golden retriever who is mistreated by the other dogs at every opportunity. He is a sweet, loving and constantly distracted animal who just needs a friend, so when he first encounters Carl and Russell, he immediately declares his love for them.

As his name suggests, Doug is the living embodiment of a loving dog. He wants to play and help in any way he can, although his absent-mindedness usually causes others to become frustrated with him and end up abandoning him. However, his devotion is not false, and although he loves quickly, he also loves with all his heart. So when Doug introduces himself, Carl may not know it yet, but he’s just made a friend for life.

“Adventures are there!”

Charles Manz

Charles Muntz is the reason why young Ellie and young Carl first find friendship during their childhood years. A famous explorer, Muntz traveled around the world, inspiring children like Carl with his motto: “Adventure is there!“, a call to action and a promise. However, Muntz is discredited and returns to South America, never to be heard from again. His motto becomes a catchphrase for both Ellie and Carl, who never gave up on their dream of visiting Paradise Falls.

However, Karl forgets that there is more than one adventure. He thinks that a trip to Paradise Falls is finally the right to the adventure that he and Ellie promised each other, but the truth is that they have had adventures all their lives. Adventures do exist, and Karl is lucky enough to experience them all his life with the woman he loves.

“It may sound boring, but I think boring things are what I remember most.”

Russell

A smaller storyline deliberately left in the background. Up Russell’s relationship with his father. Although Up This is an animated film where anything can happen, but what’s remarkable is that Russell is always alone and therefore able to accompany Carl on his adventure. He makes a couple of comments along the way. Up that his parents divorced or separated, and at the same time they forgot about him a little.

Usually these lines are played for laughs, but in one rare moment where Russell shows some adult depth, he tells Carl about how his father took him out for ice cream, something that doesn’t happen often these days. Russell says it’s the boring things he remembers most. Not only is it a heartbreaking look into Russell’s life, but it also pushes Carl to realize that the moments he shared with Ellie, which weren’t “adventures” in themselves, were just as important.

“Good boy, Doug. You’re a good boy.”

Charles

Doug just wants to be a good boy. That’s all he ever wanted Upand even his drive to catch Kevin is simply because he was asked to do so and he wants to be an obedient good boy. There is no anger in his body like the Alpha or some of the other dogs in the pack. Although his general demeanor may lead viewers to believe that he is so carefree that it doesn’t matter whether others like him or not, it’s shown everywhere Up this Doug is lonelyand he is not affected by the fact that no one thinks he is a good boy.

When he appears on Carl’s porch, eyes downcast and paws tucked, it can be a heartbreaking moment. Instead, the usually curmudgeon Carl gives the golden retriever the best gift he can and calls him a “good boy.” There are probably few things in the world that Carl would ever call good, and it is truly an honor for him to call Doug that.

“It’s just a house.”

Charles

In the midst UpCharles Muntz is in full villain mode. He chases Kevin, Doug and Russell through the top of his airship and into Carl’s house, which is attached to the ship with just a few ropes. He is followed by Carl, who manages to grab onto a hose attached to the house to prevent it from flying away. Carl manages to save his friends while Muntz falls to his death, but his house shuts down and floats away forever.

As he disappears into the clouds, Russell apologizes, but Carl smiles and says, “It’s just a house.” It wasn’t just a home for almost everyone Upthis was Ellie, and this was Carl, and these were their dreams as Carl saw them. However, by the end of the film, Carl realized that Ellie didn’t really care where their home ended up, she only cared about the years she spent with Carl. They could be on a blimp, at a campsite, or in a dilapidated clubhouse. all that mattered was that they were together. A house is just a house.

“Thanks for the adventure – now go for another!”

Ellie

After Carl allows Muntz to take Kevin, Russell and Doug leave Carl to pursue him, frustrated by Carl’s willingness to give up. Discouraged, Carl returns to his house and reads the old album, sad that he was unable to fulfill his promise and that Ellie was unable to finish her album. He then turns over the old, worn pages and discovers that Ellie has actually finished her scrapbook, filling it with images of her long life together with Carl.

Now go get something new!” Karl always kept his promise to Ellie.. Her whole life has been an adventure, and looking back, Carl realizes that he is too. With this new understanding the final act Up begins with Carl realizing that his new friends are an adventure and not some old house he’s been dragging around.
