I can't say my expectations were high for Dug Days in the first instance... But then I found out about the original Up actors reprising their roles, and saw a few selected clips online which instantly piqued my interest. I'm happy to report that the resulting show is a worthy successor to Up, and a terrific series in its own right. With Pixar luminaries overseeing the writing and directing, and with Disney sparing no expense on the cinema-worthy animation, Dug Days - which amounts to barely 50 minutes in total - is the fun and funny TV series that we all needed in 2021. I laughed out loud consistently, and the gags are well-earned. This is the type of show that kids and adults can enjoy equally. I loved seeing the late Ed Asner play Carl one last time, and the final scene of the last episode is especially poignant due to Asner's passing. I wasn't prepared to cry, but the last scene got me. It's a wonderful send-off that doesn't tarnish the legacy of Up, and I just wish that Disney recorded a second season before Asner left us. If you love Up, set aside an hour to binge through this collection of hilarious shorts.
