Up meets Gran Torino
December 18, 2009 12:05 am


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:

Wow. This was some funny stuff.

Wish I could have laughed out loud, but it’s 3:13 in the morning.

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…

Wow, neat stuff. And did this sort of thing all begin with “Apocalypse Pooh”?

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