Carl's Date
New adventure. Same wingman.
Directed by Bob Peterson
Produced by Pixar
A heartwarming, gently comedic short about an elderly widower's nervous return to dating, anchored by the loyal, bumbling companionship of his dog.
Carl Fredricksen reluctantly agrees to go on a date with a lady friend—but admittedly has 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.
