In connection with their Super Bowl TV spot tomorrow, Disney / Pixar have unveiled a new clip from Up as part of their new series titled Adventures with Carl and Russell. In case you didn't already know, Carl and Russell are the two main characters in the film. Russell, a wilderness explorer who inadvertently ends up joining Carl on his trip to South America, is missing only one last merit badge - "Assisting the Elderly." I will admit that this kid is very annoying, but I think that's part of the story, somewhat of a combination of coming-of-age and still learning to live life at an old age. Enjoy this newest clip from Pixar's Up!

By tying thousands of balloon to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn't alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

Pixar's Up is directed Pete Docter, one of the original Pixar members who directed Monsters, Inc previously and wrote the stories for Toy Story and Toy Story 2. The film is co-directed and written by Bob Peterson, who also wrote Finding Nemo. Disney will debut Up in theaters everywhere on May 29th this summer.
