Something is stirring deep in the South American jungle. German comedy star Dirk Bach and acting legend Karlheinz Böhm bring two characters to life in Disney/Pixar’s tenth animated film, Up.
Dirk Bach voices Dug, the dog who befriends the two likeable heroes Carl Fredricksen and young Wilderness Explorer Russell in Up. Somewhere in the Amazon, the three encounter the long-lost adventurer Muntz, voiced by Karlheinz Böhm. But Carl, who believes he has rediscovered his childhood idol, quickly realises that Muntz is not the hero dreams are made of…
Good things come from Up — at least for the successful producers at Disney/Pixar, who present their tenth animated film with Up. The animated adventure continued its successful US run during its second weekend in cinemas, remaining at number one with total box-office revenue of $137.3 million.
Up takes off in German cinemas on September 17, 2009 and will also be shown simultaneously in selected cinemas using Disney Digital 3-D technology.
