Probably better than an actual Up 2

An actual sequel to Up probably would've been pushing it so Carl's Date feels like the best way to revisit these characters and tell a fun self contained story without any risk of ruining an incredible original. It's inoffensive, funny and sincere.Ed Asner kind yet gruff voice is a delight to hear one last time, just the mere mention of Ellie triggers the waterworks without fail. Bob Peterson's performance really compliments Dug's animation beautifully.Andrea Datzman's score wisely chooses to call back to Michael Giacchino's iconic work in its final moments, offering a nice reminder of just how devastating it is. Combined with Ed Asner's performance it's overwhelmingly emotional, even if it's arguably manipulative.

big issue short

Carl is surprised when Ms. Meyers asks him out on a date. He's even more surprised when he says yes. Dug has to help the conflicted Carl.This was supposed to be part of the Dug Days show. Instead, it becomes the short accompanying Elemental. Apparently, it's one of the last performance of Ed Asner who died in 2021. That may result in the end of Dug Days or any more material for Carl. It deals with a big issue. The big takeaway from Up is the love story. This is Carl taking his first hesitant step in a new chapter. It has a lot of issues that come with that and I don't think a short has enough time to fully discuss them. Ultimately, the short feels short. We don't even get to meet Ms. Meyers.
