I'm Just Glad Disney And Pixar Didn't Actually Use The Me So Horny Chink Eye Breakfast At Tiffany's Face For Russell In The Final "Up!" Picture

I caught this article down at Gizmodo and seeing how Up! is outselling all other movies I was definitely interested in seeing some of the color images which led me to the Lou Romano site which led me to this image which was obviously not used in how Russell actually looked in the final.



Yeah...glad someone stopped this from coming out and isn't it how funny how no one from Gizmodo and NY Mag even mentioned this?

Just a word of advice - I probably wouldn't put this out in book form, or as a poster either...just saying.

Jordan Nagai, Up, And Russell (Cute Chubby Asian American Kid)

If you haven't heard by now - because blogosphere has been buzzing (at least the AA blogosphere), the voice of Russel in the Disney/Pixar film Up is voiced out by Jordan Nagai (see Asian American kid) which makes sense since this character is Asian American

Don't take my word for it though - here's what other sites say too:

CommingSoon.net

Having won many awards playing Lou Grant from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and his own spin-off "Lou Grant," Ed Asner does cranky well, but young Jordan Nagai steals the show as Russell, a chubby Asian kid constantly jabbering and asking questions to the impatient old man. We don't want to spoil too much of the fun that happens once they arrive at Paradise Falls, but once there, they start to encounter a few other strange characters who'll be along for the adventure including an odd colorful bird who the boy names "Kevin" and... a talking dog.

USA Today

As for Up, Pixar's 10th outing, which opens May 29, about a cranky codger and an overeager Asian kid who fly off to South America in a house hoisted by helium balloons, it will likely be the first film that all three — father, mother and child, who turns 2 today — enjoy together.

All you have to do is look at the kid - he's Asian American.

But now there's at least some more text backing it up.
