Directed by Pete Docter, UP opens with an incredibly moving montage sequence that details the lives of Carl (voiced by Ed Asner) and Ellie Fredrickson, from their first meeting as children, bonding over their a mutual obsession with famous adventurer Muntz (Christopher Plummer, though the character closely resembles Kirk Douglas) to their marriage, their heartbreaking discovery of infertility, their shared dream of travelling to Paradise Falls in South America and Ellie's fatal illness just as Carl had finally planned to surprise her with tickets. In the present day, Carl is about to be evicted and moved to a retirement home, but he out-foxes everyone by attaching helium balloons to his house and flying away, finally headed for Paradise Falls.

However, once he's airborne, Carl is shocked to discover that he has a reluctant passenger, in the form of eight-year-old boy scout Russell (Jordan Nagai). Eventually they land in South America, where they meet a talking dog called Doug (Bob Peterson) and a rare exotic bird that Russell names Kevin.
