'Up' exhibit at Disney animation attraction

A fantastic new Up-themed exhibit is on display for visitors at The Magic of Disney Animation attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park at Walt Disney World in Florida. Studios Central has posted a bunch of pictures; you can check them out by clicking the links below.

Of the dozens of things exhibited (everything from colourful concept art and storyboards to detailed maquettes) one of the most interesting are the pieces shown above as we can easilly spot Carl's wife Ellie in the several of the drawings and the small picture in the round frame appears to be a rendered image ―our first look at the character. The concepts of the antagonist Muntz and his dogs are also particularly attention grabbing.

Actually, everything in the display is particularly attention grabbing. The Art of Up is going to be so cool...

Wow I couldn't stop staring at the picture, I love all the art on the pic! And Carl's wife is just the way you would have pictured her. That's Pixar for you, always giving you what you expect, and more! Never letting you down!

Hey Mike, I say something! I know it off-topic but will you be getting a copy of the Bolt DVD, like you did the Wall-e DVD? So do they just send you the DVD because you review the film at the theaters? If you get DVD, I look forward to review!

Will they roll out a similar exhibit at DLR/DCA Anaheim?

Dang, I took a bunch of pictures of this over the weekend for the specific reason of sending it into this blog!
Still awesome though

Wow. What excellent pictures. I especially like the storyboard. After having read some of the articles from the preview screenings, I think I know what scene it's from, and it seems to play out just as I pictured it.

...Am I the only one who thinks the early drawings of Ellie to the left of the photo look a bit like the old lady who needed her cat saved towards the beginning of The Incredibles?
