USC film student Daniel Johnson noticed a few similarities between Pixar’s Up and Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino. So he recut Up’s trailer and combined it with Gran Torino’s soundtrack to prove his point:

    THAT was funny! I WAS kinda reminded of “Gran Torino” while I watched “Up”.

    I thought Up was like David Lynch’s “The Straight Story”.

    HARRY BROWN would have been a better audio choice than the soggy, limp GRAN TORINO.

    Pixar should’ve contacted Clint Eastwood instead of Ed Asner.

    Wow! Seems like a lot of work to sync up the dialogue with parts of “Up” and still make it look like a real trailer.
    And indeed: Clint Eastwood would make a good voice for an animated film…

    Nice effort. Would’ve been better if you didn’t use the kid for two different characters from Gran Torino, esp. the young priest.
