PRODUCTION
On December 19, 2022, it was announced that Dug Days would get a short film titled Carl’s Date, originally set to stream on Disney+ during a montage of content coming in 2023. Prior to his death on August 29, 2021, Ed Asner recorded his dialogue in the spring of 2021. At a screening of Carl’s Date, ComicBook.com had a chance to speak with Peterson and Collins about the short film during a press day for Elemental at Pixar Animation Studios. Peterson stated, “No one will ever replace Ellie for Carl. This is just friendship. This is just honoring her, Ellie saying ‘go have a new adventure.’ And this really puts that to the test. Should he do this or not?”. He also stated, “For now, I’m thinking of it as a bow on the story. You know, you never say never, things do ebb and get a great idea or whatever it is, but I think this ends up being a terrific way to end this little miniseries.”
