After Toy Story, Ratatouille, WALLE, and other award-winning
blockbusters, where else could Pixar Animation Studios go but UP?
Their latest film is the heartwarming story of Carl Fredrickson (voiced
by Ed Asner), a 78-year-old widower who feels that life has passed him
byuntil a twist of fate takes him on a journey across the globe. UP is
set to take off on May 29, 2009. The Art of UP contains more than 250
pieces of concept art developed for the feature, including storyboards,
full-color pastels, digital and pencil sketches, character studies,
color scripts, and more. Quotes from the director, artists, animators,
and production team reveal the sky-high creativity that elevated this
whimsical film to new heights.
