Pixar May Have Stolen My Identity

I’m sure at least a few of you out there have heard of a little company named Pixar. They make these really interesting looking cartoons and, yeah, a butt-load of cash while they do it. Anyways, their latest film UP features an old crickety man who travels around South America. I haven’t read the entire synopsis, but I have seen the cast of characters. Of course there’s the old man, and apparently there’s a talking dog, but what really struck me (and I have to thank Cyrus Matthew Daniel Howard for pointing this out) is that there’s this chunky kid in the flick that is strikingly similar to what I looked like at about age 9. I’m still sourcing actual imagery of when I was that young (I’m so old that digital photography barely existed back then), but if you have seen a picture of me when I was younger, you’d probably have to agree.

Now, honestly, I was way too cool to join the boy scouts or anything, so the resemblance is really only in the face and, sadly, body shape. Anyways, the characters is known as Russel so when you check out UP when it hits theaters, you might be able to make the connection. And I’m sure Pixar will chalk this one up as a mere coincidence – but I know the truth…..
