Altruism is when someone is selflessly concerned for the well-being of others.

In the first photo, Mr Fredrickson lets go of his dream to have his house on top of the waterfall, to save Kevin and Russell. This shows that he values the others more than his past.

Another time altruism was shown was when Russell decides to save Kevin. This shows that he cares for the bird more than his life, because he goes into the aircraft knowing that Charles is capable of hurting/killing him.

When Carl got his house to fly and didn't realise that Russell was hanging on to it, Carl forgot about saving his house and helped Russell get inside.

we chose this pic because its significant to the topic of adventure. It shows how Fredricksen ignores the problems that are creating an obstacle from his goals and dreams. He gives Russel and dug a chance to be on his team and achieves them together.

-Sierra and Chloe

The significance of these screenshots is quite large, as Carl and Ellie made a big promise to each other, and Carl feels bad because he couldn't fulfil it before Ellie died. This theme is not hard to find, as there are a lot of promises made throughout the movie

ALTRUISM

ADVENTURE

Ellie was really respectful by returning the balloon back to Russell.

The first scene shows Carl, Russel and Dug sharing ice cream on the sidewalk. At the start of his adventure, Carl doesn't make any friends and is very self-centred, but as the movie progressed he becomes more trusting and kind.

The second scene shows Carl showing up to Russel's scout place and giving him the grape soda badge that Ellie gave him when they were kids.

The last photo is of Carl, Russel, Kevin and Dug and it represents friendship and love between all of them. Dug and Russel are holding hands <3

Molly and Shriya

It wasn't difficult to find the evidence of our theme's loss and compassion as during the movie there is a big show of loss as he loses Ellie and his house. And then compassion was shown as Carl cares for Russel and the animals. (Molly & Shriya)

The first picture shows Carl looking at an old photo of Ellie after she died and he was on his way to Paradise Falls.

The second photo shows Carl at Ellie's funeral holding a blue balloon, a significant symbol throughout the film.

The last photo is of Carl fighting a worker for his mailbox with his and Ellie's name and handprints on it.

Molly and Shriya

He showed his respect for Russell by showing up to his most important day of the year that his dad was supposed to show up to.

Mr Fredrickson is still staying/living in the same house even though Ellie has died, and people keep telling him to go to a retirement house. He follows through with his original goal of getting his house to paradise falls even if its without Ellie.

They had enough respect to not knock down his house even if they kept trying to force him they never gave him any threats.

This scene shows that Carl is depressed that he has lost the love of his life but he is still going on with the rest of his life.

It wasn't that hard to find this evidence from the movie because, we both knew that there was a lot of love at the start of the movie, especially when Carl and Ellie got married.

This scene shows Ellie and Carl have aged, but still love each other. While their personalities are very different, they still get along and care for each other.
