the asian kid in pixar's up

Last week, Yahoo! Movies unveiled the new theatrical trailer for Pixar's upcoming animated feature Up. It's about a 78-year-old man named Carl Fredricksen who goes on a fantastic adventure. In his flying house.

The movie's in theaters on May 29. And that's all I really need to know. I'm there. Because really, in my book, Pixar hasn't made a bad movie. I'll gladly plunk down the ticket money to watch anything they make.

But as an added incentive, what's cool is, the kid accompanying Carl on his journey is a cute, chubby 8-year-old Asian kid named Russell, who's very prominent in the trailer. According to IMDb, he's voiced by Jordan Nagai... and best of all, no annoying fake Asian accent!
