That is a really clever and cute way to introduce the characters. I like the perspective of the small house on top to make it look farther away.

Well it was the closing film at the Tokyo Film Festival back in October.

I was wondering: is Russell an Asian kid? Because the boy who voiced him is Japanese American. Just wondering.

Re: Up being promoted at Tokyo Disneyland

Adventureland is the perfect setting for UP. The ballon house uses Disney's traditional structural forced perspective as effectively as Disneyland's Castle and it's Matterhorn Mountain. The Russell character is colorful and cool.

Russell is an Asian kid. The voice is a Japanese American, but the character was inspired by story artist and director Pete Sohn who is Korean.

I usually don't like character statues in the parks like that...but there is something about that set up I really like.

Re: Up being promoted at Tokyo Disneyland

After finally seeing the movie, I think this is a perfect for all the reasons already mentioned. To me, it's also a little unexpected (in a good way).

Wait, UP hasn't reached Japan yet?!

The release of American movies in Japan, I've noticed, has been inconsistent lately. There are some movies released at the same time, or close to the same time, as the America release. Then, there are others, like Up, that is released much later.

That would be because the MK does not know how to do anything but TDL does, and does it better 100% of the time? Besides, this is no different than the Wall-E statues in Tomorrowland.
