Set for release in October, Up tells the story of Carl Fredrickson, a 78 year old who attaches thousands of balloons to his house in order to 'sail' to South America, fulfilling a promise to his late wife.
Carl soon discovers that a young stowaway, Russell, has joined him on the expedition, and the two embark on a series of adventures in the wilderness, meeting a host of characters such as Dug, a talking dog.
Up is the first Pixar film to see a release in 3D and the studio will be hoping it can emulate the success of their previous titles, which have picked up four of the last six Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature.
Disney/Pixar are yet to release a movie that has grossed less than $350m world-wide (only Toy Story and A Bug's Life have grossed less than $450m) and I would firmly expect Up to continue that trend.
