Up marks the tenth time lightning has struck for the folks at Disney/Pixar.
Up follows the uplifting tale of 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure -- and unwillingly takes an optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell along for the ride. The film includes the voices of Ed Asner, Christopher Plummer, Up co-director and writer Bob Peterson, Delroy Lindo and Disney/Pixar favorite John Ratzenberger.
The Blu-ray set will retail for $45.99. In case you've got some change left over, the studio says the long-awaited release of
Monsters, Inc.will also finally make its way into stores the same day (11/10/09).
