One of the major, unique assets that Up has a a leggy summer event is that I expect it to be the strongest animated film since Finding Nemo – maybe bigger – with grandparents looking to share a movie with their grandkids… because of the grandparent/child relationship in the film.
If I were Disney, I’d be working on a Labor Day re-release strategy now, along with emphasizing all other holidays when the grandparents get control of the “what are we doing today” button.

“I was never let down by the hot dogs, bought from Chicago’s irreplaceable Vienna Beef, which were split down the middle, griddled and laid in a toasted potato bun with or without the classic Chicago garnishes. Better yet is the Bird Dog, a smoked chicken and apple bratwurst from Usinger’s of Milwaukee How the burger could change lives I never divined, but on occasion it was magnificent, as beefy and flavorful as the outer quarter-inch of a Peter Luger porterhouse. More often, though, the meat was cooked to the color of wet newsprint, inside and out, and salted so meekly that eating it was as satisfying as hearing a friend talk about a burger his cousin ate.”

“There is an innocence – an almost monastic purity – about Adam Ant’s enduring devotion to pop; after coming off antidepressants a few years ago, he began performing live again, playing modest venues, often unannounced, and later this year he will release a new album. I find myself hoping his audiences are respectful, and kind. Though still beautiful, he has to wear hats and bandanas to disguise the fact that he is now bald. He was always very conscious of his own beauty – “I think to be a pop star you need sex, subversion, style and humour” – and the hair loss seems gratuitously cruel. “Yeah,” he admits with quiet sadness. “It was pretty awful. But – I dunno – you’ve just got to do what you can. It’s part of the job, really. Just gotta get up, have a shave, and get on with it, really.”

I understand what you mean here, and it’s a valid thing, but there are no grandparents in this movie. Neither of the older men are even parents. It’s a big chunk of what makes the character’s journey all the more moving. ALONENESS.
DIsney presents Up, back in theatres for Labor Day!
“See it with a grandparent–while you still can”
“Make the last film you see with your grandparents a special one”
Backwards… “share the adventure with your goofy little scout… and teach them about life too boot”
A Labor Day re-release won’t cut it. Kids are back in school in most states before then. Older audiences want arty and upmarket fare, recession permitting.
“Older audiences want arty and upmarket fare”
Is that Iron Law of Marketing #3?
And to think I was laboring under the delusion that Pixar movies were arty and upmarket. What ever gave me that ridiculous notion?
