The story is based on 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen tying thousands of balloon to his home in his quest to fulfill a lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn’t alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

Two of the videos (Meet Russell and Meet Kevin) are clips showcasing new footage from the film, while the other video (Discovering A Lost World) features director Pete Docter and studio head John Lasseter discussing the making of the film and its 3D component.

Jorgen Vig Knudstorp, CEO LEGO Group, had the following to say.

“We are thrilled to team up with Disney, another of the world’s premium brands for families with children. When two brands who share similar values bring their franchises together — in this case a timeless play pattern with some of the industry’s most beloved stories and characters — and combine their access to families, retail strength and marketing power, amazing things can happen. We can’t wait to launch the first three lines and look forward to exploring all of the ways in which we bring the wonderful world of Disney to life in LEGO form.”

Disney seems similarly excited.

“Joining forces with LEGO Group speaks to the commitment and vision both companies share for quality product and innovative creativity that invigorates kids play,” said Vince Klaseus, senior vice president, global toys, Disney Consumer Products. “Our collaboration will continue to extend the vitality of our roster of franchises by bringing our characters and their worlds to life in a fresh and exciting way. Through these new LEGO product lines, Disney will continue to build presence in the construction toys category and grow market share in the boys demographic.”
