Old and gray, Ellie dies, and Carl’s left all by his lonesome.Īfter the moving marriage montage, which packs a whole lot of living into its compact, heartwarming, and heartbreaking four-minute run-time, we fast-forward to the present, and Carl 2.0. Car problems, broken bones, and home repairs force them to continually dip into their savings. They start saving their loose change in a jug marked Paradise Falls, but life keeps getting in the way. It’s like a blood oath, but with soda.Ĭarl and Ellie grow up and get married, and through montage, we watch their life story: fixing up their house, picnicking on a hill, trying-and failing-to have a baby. She pins a grape soda bottle cap on him to solidify their friendship. They strike up a fast friendship, and Ellie makes Carl promise that one day he’ll take her to South America-specifically Paradise Falls-in a blimp. On his way home from the movie theater, Carl meets Ellie a plucky young girl that’s equally jazzed about Muntz and all things adventuresome. So Muntz heads back to South America, vowing not to return until he’s caught that mind-blowing bird. There’s just one catch: Nobody believes him. Muntz, we learn through newsreel footage, is a famous explorer who recently returned from South America, where he discovered a rare, magnificent bird.
Young Carl Fredricksen is a huge Charles Muntz fanboy.
