Abstract:


    Alpha, villain Muntz’s deadly lieutenant, leads a pack of dogs to find a rare and elusive bird in Disney / Pixar’s Up. Alpha was always imagined as the ideal of a dangerous canine. To implement this concept, Alpha went through a series of challenges, including his highly stylized geometry, caricatured articulation, sleek groom, and graphic color and illumination. We discuss our challenges and solutions, across multiple disciplines, in addressing this design.
