Carl Fredricksen (Up) To call Up, the Pixar film released to cinemas in 2009, bizarre would be putting it rather mildly. Even once you&#8217;ve looked beyond the fact that the main characters largely get by in a home floated across the sky by thousands of attached balloons, there are still the dogs capable of speaking English in strangely robotic-sounding voices to contend with.
