Fly away

This animated short ties in the the Pixar film Up.George & AJ from Shady Oaks Retirement Village knock on Carl Fredricksen's home to bring in to the retirement home.Something they have been tried to for a while as Carl is always making them wait or being evasive.This time the house flies away leaving George & AJ in a state of shock.Pretty soon other elderly people are inspired to escape in daring ways each time George & AJ come knocking.An amusing enough animated short but the animation is crude, it does not even look like CGI but something produced in Flash.

Funny, but the style is tough to get used to

primitive animation

George & A.J. are staff from Shady Oaks Retirement Village who are supposed to bring in Carl Fredricksen. They are shocked when he flies away with his home. One week later, they are to bring in Mrs. Peterson but she escapes with her cats pulling her home away. Others do their own escapes in their own special ways until Shady Oaks itself is rocketed away with oxygen tanks. Then Carl returns in the blimp crushing George & A.J.'s van.The animation is more primitive and similar to animated storyboards. It ties in with the movie 'Up'. It has a fun premise building upon the movie. The characters are good. The primitive animation does limit its appeal and there are obvious differences from the movie. I'm guessing this short was done before or during the making of the movie and some of the differences can be contributed to changes that naturally happen in any production.
