Don’t get to your seat late! There’s a special Pixar short called “Carl’s Date” about Carl going out on a date, leaving his loving dog Dug behind. But can he? A picture of his beloved wife, Ellie, is sitting on the mantel. Could he move on?
Ed Asner passed in 2021, so this is something special to see, as it is Asner giving Carl his voice one last time. You may have to have a tissue in your hand for this, but you can’t miss it. It’s heartbreaking but also very sweet.

“Flamin’ Hot” is a story we’ve seen several times before. I’ll admit that this is a new spin on the tale of a man working his way up from nothing with a hot new idea, but it’s a familiar story, nonetheless.
