Rare OOP Pixar & Disney UP 4 Disc Box set

Brand new, never been used. Tiny mark on the outer slip cover. Contains: The eagerly awaited Blu-ray of Pixar's hit Up comes loaded with extras, including two animated shorts: Peter Sohn's "Partly Cloudy," which screened with the feature in its theatrical release, and a new film, "Dug's Special Mission." Directed by Ronnie Del Carmen, "Special Mission" reveals how Dug, the dim but lovable golden retriever, met Carl and Russell. "Adventure Is Out There" documents the research trip a key group of artists took to the Tapuis in South America and includes not only footage of the precipitous ascent of the mountain, but watercolor sketches the artists did there. Alternate versions of key moments in the film show how these scenes changed during preproduction and why. An early storyboard of the wordless "Married Life" sequence that reduced many viewers to tears could have worked, but it's far less satisfying than the final iteration. Discussions of the characters Carl and Russell include preliminary art and footage of director Pete Docter working with child actor Jordan Nagai. In a thoughtful interview, composer Michael Giacchino explains his use of musical motifs for the individual characters, and how shifts from major to minor chords suggest different moods. The Global Guardian Badge Game narrated by Nagai is an interesting geography quiz that would be more fun if the controls were better calibrated--it's hard to land a cursor on Delaware or Belgium when it keeps drifting away.
