Itï`s like Ellie brought Carl in and befriended him, and now heï`s doing the same thing with Russell," stated Up co-writer Bob Peterson. Carl wears pewter eyeglass frames with acrylic lenses and Russell has a pewter clasp on his neckerchief. Just as Carl bestows upon Russell the greatest honor of all " the Ellie badge " a special Ellie Grape Soda pin is included, making this a moment of true merit.

WALT DISNEY CLASSICS FIGURINES - The Classics Collection started in 1992 with three scenes, Bambi, Cinderella, and Fantasia's Sorcerer Apprentice. Many other series have since been introduced. Some figurines are limited, and some have been retired. Some of these figurines have risen high on the secondary market. The figurines are made of porcelain, and the process is similar to that use to make Hummel figurines. Individual pieces are molded, put together, and fired in an oven. Then they are painted and fired again. Each figurine is marked on the bottom, signifying the year it was produced. The marks represent significant milestones in Disney history. The figurines with the first year mark are usually the most desirable.
