“Don’t worry, Ellie. We will build our home there.”
Charles
When Carl first reached Paradise Falls in South America, his journey was anything but smooth. 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.
Connected
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.

“A wildlife explorer is a friend to everyone, be it a plant, a fish or a tiny mole!”
Russell
Russell is as genuine a wilderness scout as one can get, and his commitment to his club’s many creeds and rules is inspiring. If someone tells him to find a snipe, Russell will do his best. If he is tasked with protecting an endangered species, he will do so. He makes this clear when he says the motto “Wilderness Explorer”, explaining that he will be everyone’s friend.

“You don’t talk much… I like you!”
Young Ellie

“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.

“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.
