Dug Days
Dug Days (also known as Up: Dug Days) is an American animated series of shorts created, written, and directed by Bob Peterson and produced by Pixar Animation Studios initially for Disney+. The series is set immediately after the 2009 film Up, following its main characters, dog Dug, voiced by Peterson, and his owner, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen, voiced by Ed Asner in one of his last performances before his death.
The series was announced in December 2020, during Disney's Investor Day, with Peterson pitched the series centering on Dug following his work on Forky Asks a Question. The animators created new animation rigging, textures, and hair for the characters in order to update their original designs due to advances in CG animation ever since the original film's release. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, most of the final results from the animating process were done from the crew's homes, and the cast remotely recorded their dialogue.
The first five episodes of Dug Days premiered on September 1, 2021, on Disney+. They received generally positive reviews for their voice performances, messages, role models, humor and emotional depth.
Carl's Date, the sixth and final episode, first premiered in theaters as a short film with Pixar's Elemental on June 16, 2023.
After the events of Up, Golden Retriever Dug and his owner, Carl Fredricksen, move to a new house in the suburb after Carl sells the Spirit of Adventure dirigible to afford it. The miniseries revolves around the adventures of Dug and Carl experienced in their house and neighborhood.
All episodes are directed and written by Bob Peterson.
The series was announced on December 10, 2020, during Disney's Investor Day. It was produced by Pixar, with Bob Peterson as its creator, director, and writer. It premiered on Disney+, with five episodes, on September 1, 2021. Peterson pitched the series following his work on Forky Asks a Question, as he wanted to revisit the characters from Up, and felt a short series centering on Dug was the appropriate format. Kim Collins joined as producer after Peterson wrote the series. Up director and Pixar chief creative officer Pete Docter was an executive-producer for the series; Docter supervised the series so it would be faithful to the original film.
Peterson said the idea behind the series was to explore Dug adapting to suburban life and Carl as he goes through new, smaller adventures that put in practice what he learned in the film, with Collins describing the series as, ultimately, "about how Carl and Dug take care of each other". Peterson said the episodic format allowed the filmmakers to explore "facets of a dog's life", such as "territoriality" via having him face a squirrel.
