On June 16, 2023, Pixar’s Elemental will be arriving in theaters. Along with the return of Pixar movies to the big screen also comes the return of another tradition. There will be an animated short ahead of the movie. In this case, it will be a short called Carl’s Date. In it, Carl will be preparing to go on a date but will also be a bit nervous about it. Thankfully, his four legged talking friend Dug will be there to help him along the way.
Today, along with the release of the first trailer for Elemental, a poster was revealed for Carl’s Date. The poster shows Carl about to head out on his date with Dug right there with him supporting him. Check it out here:
Carl’s Date Official Descriptions
With Elemental, Pixar Animation Studios will resume the magical moviegoing tradition of pairing their feature film with an animated short. The new short, Carl’s Date, catches up with Carl Fredricksen (voiced by Ed Asner) and his lovable talking dog, Dug (voiced by Bob Peterson), who were introduced in Pixar’s Oscar®-winning feature Up. Written and directed by Emmy® Award winner Peterson and produced by Kim Collins, Carl’s Date finds Carl reluctantly agreeing to go on a date with a lady friend—but admittedly with no idea how dating works these days. Ever the helpful friend, Dug steps in to calm Carl’s pre-date jitters and offer some tried-and-true tips for making friends—if you’re a dog.
