En effet, la maison a l'air de voler !!

Il me semblait avoir lu que le film se déroulait de nos jours, le zeppelin et les avions biplans ont tendance à me faire penser que l'action ne s'étalera pas que sur une seule époque. Peut-être est-ce l'intro du film, mais vu le logo, je pense que la maison volante aura une place plus centrale dans le film. Est-ce qu'on doit en déduire que :
1) Les protagonistes voyageront dans le temps ?
2) L'univers sera fantaisiste à la manière de Miyazaki
3) Le film ne se déroule plus à notre époque ?

J'opte pour les 2 et 3, le voyage dans le temps me semble hors sujet et ce serait aller trop loin et aborder trop de thèmes dans un même film.

Quint d'AICN décrit avec précision les 15 mintues de UP présentés hier en montage storyboard, ça a l'air tout simplement magnifique et chargé en émotions, à lire :

I hadn’t known much about this one before the presentation.
UP comes out May 29th, 2009 and will be Pixar’s first 3-D movie.
Lasseter said that all Pixar and Disney Animated movies from BOLT
onwards will be made to release in Disney digital 3-D. Lasseter loves
3-D. He says even all of his wedding pictures were taken in 3-D he
loves it so much.
UP is directed by Pete Doctor (MONSTERS, INC) and Bob Peterson and
follows the most likely adventurer… Carl… a 78 year old man. He’ll be
voiced by Ed Asner and is a grumpy ol’ bastard who walks on a cane that
ends in four little legs, each one has a tennis ball on the end, like
you’ll see at nursing homes.
Pete Doctor called it a “coming of old age story.”
The movie opens with Carl as a young kid in the ‘30s. They showed us
this opening with storyboard reels. Carl is a chubby kid, arm in a cast
and he makes friends with an adorable ball of energy named Ellie.
She wants to follow her hero explorer out in the wilds on
adventures. She wants to show Carl something, but makes him cross his
heart and swear he won’t tell anyone. He does and she shows him her
adventure book. A scrapbook with clippings from her explorer hero, a
guy named Muntz.
She says when she gets big she’s going to go where he went. She’s
going to South America (“It’s like America, but south,” she says matter
of factly). She has drawings of waterfalls and says she’s going to live
there some day. It’s a place called Paradise Falls.
The rest of the pages are blank and she says she’s saving them for
all the adventures she’s going to have… the only problem is she doesn’t
know how she’s going to get there. Carl has a balloon in the room and
she says, “That’s it! You can take us in a blimp! Swear you’ll take
us!” She makes him cross his heart. “Good, you promised. No backing
out!”
Carl is wide-eyed, clearly in love with this girl, in love with her spirit and enthusiasm. He barely speaks.
We get a montage now. No dialogue, just music. Ellie and Carl get
married. They’re happy together. Carl sells balloons as they build
their house. The years go by. They’re still young and playful. In love.
They have picnics, look at clouds and see different shapes. Eventually
Carl points out one in the shape of a baby. From here on out she sees
nothing but babies in the clouds and smiles.
Carl awkwardly smiles as well.
Then we see them sitting in the doctor’s office. It’s dark and grey.
Ellie has her face in her hands, crying as the doctor shakes his head
no.
She sits in their front yard. She’s sad. Carl comes to cheer her up. He brings her the old Adventure book and she smiles again.
They make a Paradise Falls jar and put money and coins into it. The
pile starts to grow but a series of events happen over time. Car tires
blow out, the coin pile decreases. They put more money in it and Carl
has his leg in a cast and the money decreases. The roof blows off in a
storm, etc.
Now they’re elderly and the Paradise Falls jar is empty, forgotten.
Carl loving looks at his elderly wife doing the daily chores. She’s
happy, but you get the feeling that he’s sad for not giving her what he
promised her. He looks at the crayon drawing of Paradise Falls she had
in her adventure book and makes a trip to the travel place.
He has two tickets to South America. He hides them in the picnic
basket and takes her out on a picnic. He makes it to the top of the
hill. She doesn’t, collapsing halfway up. He runs to her.
Next we’re in a hospital. He’s very sad. She pushes her adventure book to him and makes him cross his heart. He does.
Next we see him slouched, wearing a black suit. He’s surrounded by
hundreds of balloons… if I remember right they all had her name on them.
This sequence was already heartbreaking in this early form.
Carl lives on a few more years before his house is threatened by
impending construction. So, he ties thousands and thousands of balloons
to his roof with the intention of sailing to South America and bringing
Ellie, in spirit, to Paradise Falls.
He apparently can steer his house with his weathervane.
But he has a stowaway when he makes this journey. A chubby asian kid
named Russell, a boy scout trying to get his last merit badge, one for
assisting the elderly.
They make it to S. America, but just before they get to where they
need to go they crash and thrown from the house. The house starts to
float away and just before it’s out of reach, they grab on to a garden
hose and keep it from leaving them.
Neither of them can climb back up to it, but they don’t want to
leave it, so they each tie a line to themselves and traverse the South
American jungles pulling the house behind him like a Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon for the last 15 miles.
They showed us a test piece, with temp sets and character models and
it looked really funny. Carl was short and squat, with his
tennis-balled cane. Russell is whining. He’s tired. Carl is short with
him and Russell falls over dramatically, but the balloon keeps him from
doing much more than floating up and down. He ends up dragging forward
on the ground, where he sees a bug and gets excited. He unclips himself
and runs after it.
Carl looks back and sees he’s the only one tethered. He calls after
the boy, getting no response as he’s slowly lifted up further and
further and further until he’s out of frame. A bird squaks and he
grumbles. There’s a tussle we don’t see and his cane drops to the
forest floor.
They announced that the villain will be voiced by Christopher Plummer and that was it for their UP presentation.

... ce qui se traduit par? Je comprend pas tout...

Enfin bref, je voulais revenir sur l'image 3D, splendide... J'ai cependant l'impression que quelque chose cloche sur la main qui tient la poignée de porte. Ca ne colle pas, je trouve. Enfin là je vais dans le détail... C'est très très beau quand même ! Et c'est vrai ça sent l'esprit Miyazaki...

Tu parles du image en HD Kinoo, où est-ce que l'on peut la voir en HD?

Up sera le 29 juillet 2009 en France. Dans la lignée des derniers Pixar...

Pas de traduction du titre ?

Pas encore...

J'espère qu'il y en aura une (et pas une littérale qui ne voudrait rien dire) vu que le titre anglais ne signifie pas grand chose en français.

Nouvelle image:

Super ! Merci Lucky !

Magnifique ton image Lucky. Enfin un peu de rêve dans les Pixar, que je trouve un peu froid.

Je suis deçu par cette date de sortie française, j'espère qu'elle ne sera pas définitive car deux mois après la sortie US, je vais avoir du mal à tenir (Un mois d'attente pour WALL•E c'est dejà dur).

J'aurais espéré une date aussi proche de la date US, comme Cars l'avait fait (mais je rêve un peu trop)

Quand au titre Français, je souhaite de tout coeur que les distributeurs conservent le titre Original. UP c'est court, simple et ils auront pas grand chose à changer sur l'affiche. Mais bon pour ça je ne fais pas trop de soucis, les titres français des Pixar ont toujours été assez proche des titres originaux.

Allez, soyons fou, je souhaite une sortie FR finale pour le 03 Juin 2009 ! ^^

Génial ces deux nouvelles images ! La seconde me rappel fortement un court métrage Disney des années 50, The Little House :

Alors vraiment, je trouve toutes ces premières images trés prometteuses. ce film à l'air très intéressant.

J'ignore si quelqu'un d'autre a dejà fait la même analogie que celle que je vais faire, mais je trouve que le logo de Up rappelle malheureusement beaucoup celui de Dreamworks!! et je dis "malheureusement" car je trouve que cette maison qui vole dans les airs attachée à tous ces ballons multicolores est très poétique. De plus, je trouve que la trame scénaristique est très touchante et originale. je suis très curieux de voir les designs et comment fonctionne le duo du papy et du p'tit scout asiat'...

L'image de la maison qui vole avec les ballons est splendide, j'adore !
C'est poétique, très joli, ça laisse rêveur, bref, magique !

Le titre français dans le numéro d'été du magazine officiel de Buena Vista est "Là-Haut" ...
J'ignore si c'est provisoire ou définitif.

Buena Vista a son magazine officiel? quel est son nom? est il en vente chez les marchants de journaux?

Merci d'avance pour la réponse.
