I was just going to post that (I found out from Animated-News.com). It's very cool, but of course it's just the most teasing of teasers for right now. Still, it's very cool!

That is really, really cool. Even though it's definitely the most teasing teaser they've done, I'm already intrigued. I think it may be because I have a fascination with the sky and with flight (plus I love balloons). So, a movie that tackles these in a fanciful way is just my cup of tea.

That's really cool- thanks for sharing, Old Fish Tale! I know that some people are skeptical about Up, but I think that it'll be really good...it's another buddy movie, of course, but I'm sure that it'll be really entertaining, as all Pixar films are.

I'm so glad that the people responded well to Bolt!!! I'm so excited!

The little animation on the site is cute. It has me slightly more intrigued than before.

It'll be interesting to see these characters in full animation!

Thanks for that, Amy. Yeah, it will be great to see this in full animation. I don't know why, but I'm not as excited about this film as I have been for the first few. However, I'd like to hear/see more about it.

I think Carl is adorable! Just from reading the brief description that came out of Comic-Con, I think I will be tearing up by the end!

After seeing photos from and having read more about Up I am now more excited then I was when I first learned about this project.

For anyone that's interested, MTV.com interviewed Pete Docter, the director of Up.

I like the retro style of that poster. I hope this movie will be good (Or at least better than Cars).

I'm really looking forward to this one. It looks like the connection to Don Quixote is that Carl's role is similar to that of the Don, with Russel playing the Sancho Panza role.

I am very intrigued by this movie and everything I've read about it. I'm sure it will be fantastic.

The only issue I have with it thus far, is that the picture on the web-site seems familiar. As in, the logo from Dreamworks. Too similar to the competition. To be fair, that is only a logo and not a movie from Dreamworks, but still - it seems like a possible source of inspiration for the concept. Any thoughts?

Doesn't show anything new, but still. It's news.
