“‘Carl’s Date,’ the short film preceding Pixar’s ‘Elemental,’ revisits the beloved characters from ‘Up’ in a heartfelt story set entirely on a sidewalk. Ed Asner returns as Carl, who finds himself facing a nerve-wracking social encounter. With the humorous guidance of his loyal dog, Dug, the film balances emotion and laughter.
