Center
Primary
The film explores universal themes of friendship, belonging, and self-worth through the character of Dug. Its narrative focuses on personal growth and finding genuine connection, which are apolitical in nature.
The movie primarily features animated animal characters, with its single human character, an elderly white male, serving as the antagonist due to personal obsession rather than a critique of his identity. While the voice cast includes some diversity, the narrative does not center on or explicitly engage with DEI themes.
Secondary
Dug's Special Mission, a prequel short to Up, centers on Dug the dog's humorous misadventures leading up to his first encounter with Carl and Russell. The narrative is entirely focused on animal antics and character introductions, without any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present in its plot or character arcs.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This short film features characters established in Pixar's "Up." All main characters, including Dug, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Russell, maintain their canonically established genders from the original film. No character's gender was altered from their prior portrayal.
This animated short features characters from the film "Up," including Dug, Carl Fredricksen, and Russell. All characters maintain their established appearances and voice actors from the original film, with no changes to their race.
