Carl is a character in the upcoming Pixar film “Up”. It appears that someone at Pixar saw my short and copied my character Harold for their movie! Right down to the bowtie!! Where’s my lawyer?

Just kidding of course. Carl is a great looking character, I love the short little guy and his angular face and huge glasses. My original plan was to have Harold wearing a suit like Carl, but I didn’t have the patience to work out some sort of clothing dynamics or deformations for something that complicated. Funny how some of the original character designs of Harold were more angular, but somewhere along the line they smoothed out and became rounded. I really like that look. Pixar’s char designers did a good job.

I don’t know what to expect from this movie, but it looks promising. And I only say that because of the character designs that I’ve seen so far. That isn’t exactly the best measuring stick, but it is something to grasp onto until I see more.
