This deeply charming companion/spin-off/afterward to Pixar's Up is exactly what you'd want from a "Pixar TV series" being both pleasantly brief, fantastically executed and brilliantly fun. It also came with an undertone of unintentional melancholy due to the release's proximity to the death of Ed Asner - but it's a really beautifully crafted little show and serves as a fittingly respectful epitaph to his long career. Hopefully on Disney+ we get a few more Pixar excursions like this.

Funny. Heartwarming. And while there isn't anything in Dug Days that packs the same emotional wallop as the "Married Life" sequence, the final episode should make you well up just the same.

Not much more to be said. These shorts are our gold, laughable, loveable sunshine!

Just a good Pixar hug, with beloved characters in sweet situations. In these troubled times, it feels good to disconnect with something lovely. Sadly, this comes just as Ed Asner, Carl's voice, passed away, so this makes it bittersweet, but still...More sweet than bitter.

I'm not sure if anymore performances are coming but Asner had the good fortune to go out with these shorts being among his final work. They are delightful. They are droll. They manage to be a touching portrayal of the bond between an older owner and their new dog.
Dug is such a perfectly realized character; his animation, his dialog and personality are quintessentially the lovable family dog. This is more than solid Pixar. This is a great series of short films.

I loved seeing these characters come back after so many years ago. Made my heart happy! RIP Ed Asner.

After the events of 'Up', Dug the dog and Carl (Ed Asner) return to the world on the blimp. They sell the blimp and buy a house to start anew together.
It's a simple show. It's charming. It may be a little too simple. It's mostly Dug in the world. It needs Russell and other kids and other dogs. They ended with only five episodes. Ed Asner died in 2021 and that most likely ends this series. It's a sweet series of shorts, but it didn't do anything substantial until the stand-alone short or final episode, Carl's Date. In fact, I don't think Carl's Date counts as one of the Dug Days episodes. It fitting that this is the final final chapter for Ed Asner. He had one last great hurrah with Up and this is his victory lap for a career well-done.

I have No idea how anyone gave this a 1. :o Obviously they have no childlike wonder. I'm Sad for them. But I'm Happy for the Rest of US!! :D
I LOVE DUG!! And when I found the Talking Dug Stuffed Dog from Disney back in 2011, I got one immediately for my 5 year old grandson and 1 for me! Ha hahahhaa This show is adorable and if you have dogs you will love it even more.
RIP Ed Asner :( I was so sad to learn he passed just as this was released. But the Man left US all with a smile on our hearts and faces thru these cartoons. Thank You Ed. We Love You and will miss You! :( Enjoy this series with your kids, grandkids, or just by your own big kid Self! ;D.

This is a great spin off from Up. If you're a dog lover or just someone who likes a cute show, this is for you. Wholesome, fun, and funny. This show gives you feel good vibes, I wish I could rate it higher.

It was nice to see 'Up' characters we love back on screen. The show was fun and the animation still has the same top-notch quality. I just wasn't satisfied with the running time per episode. It felt like there were story concepts that are better executed in a longer time. Overall, it's a great idea especially for 'Up' fans but I hope there will be more episodes in the next seasons.

This is the greatest show since Up! Slap happy funny. Great writing, awesome character Doug, and his dog wisdom is something every pet owner can relate to.
Great legacy for the sweetest man I never knew.
Please keep this going!
LOVE IT!

Remember the dog with a nice translation collar from Pixar's Up?
Now, he's having a short series as the leading star on Disney+!
This is one fun and hilarious short show you won't want to miss!

Not that much to talk about really. Just a handfull of shorts. Basic storytelling with a basic narrative. Not that thats a bad thing, given the runtime. But all in all, it doesn't really offer much either.
6/10: sure i guess.

Such a wonderful return for Carl and Dug, 2 of the wonderful characters from Pixar's Up.
All these episodes are very brief at between 5-10mins in actual run time, but they still manage to capture all of the magic from their original animated feature.
Carl is a little older and a bit less cranky, Dug is still, well...Dug, and he does in one episode finally come face to face with his nemesis...the squirrel!
These are charming and heart warming little episodes, and it's lovely to see where Carl and Dug end up.

Dug is the best! This show is fun, funny, and brings life to you from the perspective of a dog. It's a true friendship story.
I look forward to many more episodes and a follow-up movie.

A few episodes are good but I'm no 6 year old so I don't like this show that much. But I'll definitely show my children!

I put it on today for my 2 year old because I needed a change in what we constantly were hearing. We instantly both fell in love. It's sooooo funny! And it's cute. When I did chores I purposely changed the tv to something else because I didn't want to miss an episode. I've already sent messages to all my friends to watch it. So cute, wholesome, well-written, and so hilarious.

Brief shorts about Doug's life with Carl after the events of Up.
I love this accurate depiction of a dog's life! It is such a charming and fun mini series! (Except for the final episode which strayed a little further from the "slice of life" theme).
The animation is fantastic, the stories are fun, and almost anyone would find enjoyment here.

What can I say? This TV show spin off about Dug is a solid 9/10.
It is very wholesome and heartwarming. It's great to watch with the younger audience!
