Plot

Carl Fredricksen reluctantly agrees to go on a date with a lady friend—but admittedly has no idea how dating works these days. Ever the helpful friend, Dug steps in to calm Carl's pre-date jitters and offer some tried-and-true tips for making friends—if you're a dog.

Sinekatalog’s take

A short, affectionate sequel moment in which a widower prepares for an awkward evening out with his dog as coach. It is sweet, funny and brisk, trading on a beloved character pair. Perfect for fans of the original feature and anyone who wants a quick smile.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
