Dug Days (also known as Up: Dug Days) is an American computer-animated television series of shorts produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Disney+. The series is set immediately after the 2009 CGI film Up, following its main characters, dog Dug, voiced by Bob Peterson and his owner, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen, voiced by Ed Asner in one of his last performances. It was created, written and directed by Peterson, and produced by Peterson and Kim Collins.
The series was announced in December 2020, during Disney's Investor Day, with Peterson pitched the series centering on Dug following his work on Forky Asks a Question. The animators created new animation rigging, textures, and hair for the characters in order to update their original designs due to advances in CG animation ever since the original film's release. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, most of the final results from the animating process were done from the crew's homes, and the cast remotely recorded their dialogue.
Dug Days premiered with five episodes on September 1, 2021, on Disney+. It received generally positive reviews for its voice performance, message, role models, humor and emotional depth.
On December 19, 2022, it was announced that the final planned episode, titled Carl's Date, would premiere exclusively in theaters as an independent short film with Pixar's Elemental on June 16, 2023.
Skywalker Sound, which provided the post production sound services, is acknowledged for the sound: Tom Myers is the sound designer; Jordan Myers is the first assistant sound editor, and Ronni Brown & Jana Vance are the foley artists.
