Spencer Tracy in Up?
.
Is it me or is the old man character from the lastest Disney-Pixar film, Up, a clone of Spencer Tracy from the film, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967)?
I’m just saying…

Yes! as i was viewing the trailer, I really did think that the character resembled Spencer Tracy. When I look for it in wicki, Spence was one of the inspirations for the character.
I was thinking, what if the wife of the character resembled Kate. Would this be a reunion of Spence and Kate on the screen? Though its just that, its animated.

No, Muntz was Richard Widmark.

I thought Muntz was Kirk Douglas for sure.
Absolutely the old man character was Spencer Tracy in GWCTD. No doubt!

I just saw Up and GWCTD back to back and thought the same thing! Grumpy and sentimental. Delightful in both movies. Good pick up!
