@boxofficehq: To capture Russell’s endless energy while recording Pixar’s ‘Up’ (2009), director Pete Docter had 8-year-old voice actor Jordan Nagai run around the recording studio, jump up and down, and immediately deliver his lines. Rather than trying to act out being out of breath, Nagai was genuinely winded, giving Russell the natural excitement and enthusiasm that made the character so memorable. The film was a critical and commercial success, becoming only the second animated movie ever nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. It also won two Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score. 💰 Budget: $175 million 🇺🇸 U.S. Box Office: $293 million 🌎 Worldwide Gross: $735.1 million 🎥 Footage from ‘Up’ (2009) behind-the-scenes, directed by Pete Docter | Pixar Animation Studios Follow Box Office HQ for daily movie & TV throwbacks, fun facts and box office recaps! 🎟️ BOX OFFICE HQ #boxofficehq #boxoffice #up #pixar
