Read the full synopsis below, and be sure to watch Carl’s Date when it premieres February 10, 2023, exclusively on Disney+.
SYNOPSIS
In Pixar Animation Studios’ special short, “Carl’s Date,” Carl Fredricksen reluctantly agrees to go on a date with a lady friend—but admittedly has no idea how dating works these days. Ever the helpful friend, Dug steps in to calm Carl’s pre-date jitters and offer some tried-and-true tips for making friends—if you’re a dog.
How come it hasn’t been released yet?
Great question. It was in the monthly Disney+ and Hulu email. I saw you posted in the forum as well that it was removed from the Disney Media Press site, too…so, it will be interesting to see what happens with the short. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if it hits on Valentine’s Day?
