Dug Days

Just a good Pixar hug, with beloved characters in sweet situations. In these troubled times, it feels good to disconnect with something lovely. Sadly, this comes just as Ed Asner, Carl's voice, passed away, so this makes it bittersweet, but still...More sweet than bitter.

Such a wonderful return for Carl and Dug, 2 of the wonderful characters from Pixar's Up.

All these episodes are very brief at between 5-10mins in actual run time, but they still manage to capture all of the magic from their original animated feature.

Carl is a little older and a bit less cranky, Dug is still, well...Dug, and he does in one episode finally come face to face with his nemesis...the squirrel!

These are charming and heart warming little episodes, and it's lovely to see where Carl and Dug end up.

I'm not sure if anymore performances are coming but Asner had the good fortune to go out with these shorts being among his final work. They are delightful. They are droll. They manage to be a touching portrayal of the bond between an older owner and their new dog.

Dug is such a perfectly realized character; his animation, his dialog and personality are quintessentially the lovable family dog. This is more than solid Pixar. This is a great series of short films.

Remember the dog with a nice translation collar from Pixar's Up?

Now, he's having a short series as the leading star on Disney+!

This is one fun and hilarious short show you won't want to miss!

I have No idea how anyone gave this a 1. :o Obviously they have no childlike wonder. I'm Sad for them. But I'm Happy for the Rest of US!! :D I LOVE DUG!! And when I found the Talking Dug Stuffed Dog from Disney back in 2011, I got one immediately for my 5 year old grandson and 1 for me! Ha hahahhaa This show is adorable and if you have dogs you will love it even more.

RIP Ed Asner :( I was so sad to learn he passed just as this was released. But the Man left US all with a smile on our hearts and faces thru these cartoons. Thank You Ed. We Love You and will miss You! :( Enjoy this series with your kids, grandkids, or just by your own big kid Self! ;D.
