Cartoon Conspiracy Theories

UP

After Carl Fredrickson got notified that he needed to leave his home and move into a retirement home, he died in his sleep. The whole movie up is about finding Ellie in the afterlife.

Russel represents Carl's guardian angel, who is trying to earn his wings, or 'earn his badge' by helping Carl with his transition. He took the form of a child to full fill Carl and Ellie's desire to have children.

Paradise Falls represents heaven.
