Based on the Disney-Pixar animated feature of the same name, Up The Video Game takes players on the Nintendo DS platform on an exotic adventure with Carl Fredricksen and his young sidekick, Wilderness Explorer Russell, as they set off on a wild journey through the undiscovered jungles of South America. Players will be able to experience all four main characters from the movie -- Carl, Russell, Dug the lovable dog or Kevin the prehistoric bird -- and will enjoy the action both in a single player campaign and with a friend in wireless cooperative play via a Nintendo WiFi connection.

  • Russell: An enthusiastic 8-year-old Junior Wilderness Explorer with a dream of gaining the "Assisting the Elderly" badge. He unexpectedly joins Carl on his adventure, learning about the true wilderness.
  • Kevin: A rare 13-foot-tall bird who becomes a part of the group. Named by Russell, Kevin shares a sweet tooth with him and bonds quickly with the team.
