Playable Characters and Storyline
Carl
Carl Fredricksen is not your average hero. He's a retired
balloon salesman, who is forced to leave the house he and his
wife built together. But instead of moving into an old folks
home, Carl takes action. He ties thousands of balloons to the
roof, lifts the house into the air and sets off for South
America, fulfilling the promise he made to his wife years before.
However, Carl's plan is challenged by the discovery of a
stowaway, the optimistic, overly eager Russell. Carl's journey
tests more than his patience when the duo must survive the
extreme weather, treacherous terrain, and strange inhabitants of
a lost world - as well as each other. Russell
Russell is an enthusiastic and persistent 8-year-old Junior
Wilderness Explorer. Armed with a backpack laden with gear, he is
ready for the wilderness. The problem is that he's never actually
left the city. All his knowledge of the outdoors comes from
books, and his sole camping experience was in his own living
room. He's just one "Assisting the Elderly" badge shy of
achieving his lifetime goal: Senior Wilderness Explorer. When he
targets Carl Fredricksen as the elder he will assist, Russell
ends up as an unwitting stowaway on Carl's porch when the house
takes flight and finds himself on the true outdoor adventure he's
been dreaming about. Kevin
Named "Kevin" by Russell, this extremely rare, 13-foot-tall
flightless bird is hidden from the world in its remote Paradise
Falls habitat. Kevin is exceptionally fast and nimble despite its
size. In fact, the massive bird often gets into some very curious
and seemingly impossible positions. Very few know that this
scientifically valuable creature exists, but Carl and Russell
stumble upon the bird, which Russell names Kevin after he
discovers they share a sweet tooth. Kevin and Russell bond
instantly, and despite the bird's propensity to swallow Carl's
walker, Kevin joins the jungle's most unlikely pack, along with
Carl, Russell and Dug. Dug
Dug is a lovable golden mutt living in the wilds of Paradise
Falls as part of the dog pack searching for the rare, flightless
bird. Like the rest of his pack, Dug is outfitted with a
remarkable high-tech collar that translates his thoughts into
speech. But Dug is mocked as the nerd of the pack. Sent into the
jungle on a "special" mission, Dug accidentally succeeds when he
discovers the bird following Carl and Russell. As they're pursued
through the jungle by his own pack, the sweet, but simple-minded
Dug must decide to which pack he actually belongs.
