“Up” Goofs List
- Anachronisms: When young Carl breaks his arm, the ambulance he rides in has a modern electronic siren rather than a mechanical siren which an emergency vehicle of the 1930s would have used.
- Continuity: The door to the house has a different number of outside door knobs through out the film. The number varies from 3 to 4.
- Factual errors: As the house is ascending through the neighborhood, it flies over an intersection bounded by traffic signals. Traffic signals are arranged so that the red/yellow/green lights face toward the intersection, across from the traffic they are directing. In the movie, the red/yellow/green lights all face away from the intersection and would sit too high to be seen by traffic stopped at the intersection.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Carl’s house starts flying at the moment when he releases the balloons from the chimney; assuming that all balloons were already inflated and stored inside the house, this should have made the house float hours before already, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the house. However, it appears the balloons were in a giant sack in the backyard, and could have either been tethered down securely, or compressed to reduce lift.
- Revealing mistakes: In the title scene were young Carl Fredricksen is running with his balloon in the hand and smashes at the tree. Its clearly visible that the tree’s shadow is missing behind and only young Carl has his shadow, making young Carl as an floating little boy.
- Continuity: In the scene were Russell finds the lever to operate the house direction he moved it first towards right then to its left and again to its right and finally leaves it in the center and goes towards the window, but in the next shot its found positioning to its right.
- Continuity: In the shot were Mr. Carl notices his mail he hold the stick in his left hand and reaches near the mailbox. He places the walking stick to his left, the next shot after he picks the mail and comes back the stick is not found and in the next shot its found to Mr. Carl’s right side, when he speaks to the man in black suit.
- Continuity: In the shot where young Carl is running with the balloon and stops near a house listening to a sound. His shadow is at his right side and after he turn to his right the shadow is in front, but the next shot shows the shadow falls behind him not in front.
- Continuity: In the scene were Carl and Ellie paint the mailbox it can be seen that Carl’s hand spoils the paint with his hands paint making a mark on the mailbox to which Ellie reciprocates and make a mark of her hand. In the later scenes its found that mark made by Ellie is rotated clockwise.
- Continuity: Carl’s hearing aid appears and disappears throughout the movie.
- Continuity: When the house first rises, breaking free of its foundation, the front porch is clearly empty. Yet Russell appears later in the far right corner. This is explained by Russell later when he says he crawled under the porch chasing a “snipe”. Apparently he hung on to something underneath the porch and crawled up later. In the short film George & A.J. (2009) (V) it is revealed that Russell braced himself underneath Carl’s house when it took off in the same way that Woody held onto Sid’s milk crate when Sid picked it up in Toy Story (1995). However, in the Up movie several shots show the complete underside of the house as if flies off and Russell is clearly not there (or on the porch).
- Factual errors: Carl uses sails to propel and steer his house. Sails don’t work on a balloon. The sails and the balloon are both moving at the same speed as the air mass.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Mr. Fredricksen’s cane always has four tennis balls on it even after he throws one or more of them to the dogs in multiple scenes. When Mr. Fredrickson throws the ball to Dug, Dug brings the ball back to him. However, when he throws it at the pack of dogs later on, he doesn’t get it returned. Hence the reason why he only has three tennis balls in the following scenes.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: During one of the newsreel scenes, the phrase “Jiminy Cricket” is used. However, this newsreel was during the 1930s (large, rigid-style airships weren’t used after this decade), and Pinocchio, the film the character Jiminy Cricket is from, wasn’t released until 1940. However, the expression pre-dates the movie (for example, it’s spoken by a character in Brave Little Tailor (1938) and by Dororthy in front of the wizard in _The Wizard of Oz (1939)); Jiminy was named after the expression, not the other way around.
