Disney and Pixar have finally given us a trailer that provides us with an idea of the adventures to be had by Carl Fredricksen and Russell in this summer's Up. While the previous trailers have done a lot of set up of our two main characters and the house carrying-balloon vessel, this one introduces us to many of the dangers and sights to be seen, as well as a villain and a very entertaining dog.

In their adventures, Carl and Russell encounter exotic birds, some villainous old man in a huge blimp and finally...Dug the Doug. Dug is the first talking animal to interact with humans in any of Pixar's films thus far. Remy from Ratatouille only squeaked and gestured, the bugs from A Bug's Life never talked to people, and the monsters from Monsters, Inc. don't count simply because they are invented creatures. However, Dug doesn't talk in the way other Disney animals talk. His master invented some sort of collar that turns his thoughts into auditory communication. Dug is going to be a really fun addition to the crew, and once again Pixar is blowing all other animated features out of the water with their original stories, carefully crafted characters and remarkable animation.

The really disturbing thing about Dug the Dog though is the potential world people would live in if their dogs were able to communicate like humans. There would be weird sex happening for sure and I really hope Disney/Pixar tackles this sensitive issue. Wow, that's awkward. What do you guys think of Dug the Dog?
