What if Up was a live-action Disney movie from the 1960s, starring Spencer Tracy and Kirk Douglas? Well, it would be awesome if this “premake” trailer is any indication. I particularly like the god-awful ’60s version of Kevin, who looks like a cross between a parrot and regret. Perfection!
Previously premakes include Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ghostbusters and Forrest Gump, though I think this Up one really takes the cake. (And it makes me want to watch The Gnome-Mobile, my favorite movie from the era.)
What modern classic would you want to see get the retro trailer treatment, PopWatchers? I want to see The Social Network as a screwball buddy/rival comedy…

What’s your favorite Pixar movie?
Brilliant work of art! Nothing less could be expected from the great mind of whoiseyevan. Makes me wonder what else goes on in that insane brain of his during the day!
Amazing!!!
This would have a far better movie than the original.
What’s it like to be so alone in this opinion?
First 10 minutes or so of the original were outstanding, but the rest of Up was just another cookie cutter movie…
Not Pixar’s best work
I knew I’d seen The Social Network as a kid…it was called The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes!!!
I *just* watched Batteries Not Included for the first time this past weekend – I’m totally pleased that I was able to recognize those clips!
I loved the ‘We Can Fly’ music from Disney’s Peter Pan as well as the Chipmunks’ voices for the dogs. Hilarious.
Yeah someone else who enjoyed the Gnome Mobile! Was that Benji playing Dug? I was a big fan of him back in the day. Great job w/the premake!!!
they could do True Grit…oh wait…there is already one. Maybe this UP! clip should be nominated for a Best Directing Academy Award also?
Always thought that Up’s villian looked like Kirk Douglas
