‘Carl’s Date’ (2023)
This new short shows another side of Carl. This side of him is something he has not been in touch with for quite a while. In the short, he is explaining to his dog Dug that his friend Miss Meyer likes him. Adorably, Carl is shown trying to prepare for their date, even though he feels out of touch. The trailer gives us a glimpse of Carl’s anxieties about his first date after Ellie, and Dug tries to give a man’s best friend type of advice.
