Cute idea, but I hope they’re saving the good stuff for the movie because — at least from these bits — Dug isn’t as funny to me as the Pixar people seem to think he is. I’ll come out and say it: The visual humor look great, but the dialogue I’ve heard so far doesn’t seem to have the wit and sophistication of previous Pixar films. I fell in love with Remy and WALL‚Ä¢E on the basis of the previews and featurettes. I’m not falling in love with anybody in Up yet. In fact, the kid is seriously beginning to get on my nerves.
Awww come on Ryan! I love Dug so much. “Squirrel!” and “I just met you and I love you”, you’ve got to love those lines?? I’m collecting together photos and video and quotes on my website about him: http://www.lovepixar.com/character/dug-the-talking-dog-from-up/
