In the 1930s, a newsreel featuring the exploits of world explorer Charles F. Muntz and his discoveries of exotic animals deeply impress young, would-be explorer Carl Fredricksen. The news report highlights Muntz's latest discovery, the skeleton of an unknown giant bird, brought back from the wilds of South America's Paradise Falls. However, when scientists declare the skeleton inauthentic and label him a fraud, Muntz vows to validate his discovery and redeem his reputation. Along with his pack of companion dogs, Muntz flies away in his dirigible, The Spirit of Adventure , to return to Paradise Falls. As he walks home, Carl imagines his own adventures, only to be distracted by enthusiastic cries from a dilapidated, boarded-up house.
