Dug Days

Matt Roush says...

A series of five animated shorts from Pixar, starring the good-natured (if easily distracted) Golden Retriever from the Oscar-winning Up, takes on added resonance because it represents one of the final performances of Ed Asner, who passed away earlier this week at 91. He reprises his role as the curmudgeonly Carl, though the focus is on the delightful Dug (voiced by writer-director Bob Peterson), who’s enjoying his first time out of Paradise Falls. Can’t think of a better way to spend these dog days of late summer.
