What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue! (Voando Em Busca de Aventuras in Portuguese) is a 2009 Brazilian movie made by Video Brinquedo. It is a mockbuster of Pixar's Up and a sequel to another Vídeo Brinquedo film, Little and Big Monsters, which was itself a mockbuster of DreamWorks' Monsters vs. Aliens.
Plot[]
Dr. Crumb and Dr. Zoox have found a magical rock that can hypnotise humans, but only when the secret password, “lavender”, is said. They also have installed a balloon set on their home for seeing the beautiful landscape, or catching some monsters in other cities. This was probably just added to rip off Pixar's Up.
Dr. Crumb reveals the magical rock’s password to be Lavender on the news before using a controller to adjust the house’s elevation. Jean-Pierre sees this newscast before visiting the Monster hunters’ house.
Jean Pierre fakes that he has seen some monsters in the Amazon, so the monster hunters turn the balloons up and travel in the air to get there. Meanwhile Jean tries to get them in a cave so he can steal the magical rock and make everyone obey him, but his plan fails. He accidently throws the rock down, which opens a portal that releases three monsters. The two doctors immediately catch the first one, but the two other flee. They manage to catch the second one in Paris, while it was playing with the Eiffel tower.
After that, Jean tries to trick Amanda by flirting with her and making her fall in love with him. Then he and Amanda put sleeping pills in the doctors' tea, causing them to fall asleep. But when Jean encounters the monster, he can't use the laser guns and he tells Amanda that he lied. The doctors wake up and catch the monster.
Then Amanda tells the doctors about Jean, and they send him to the other world with other monsters. In the ending scenes Dr. Crumb tells her that she should not trust everyone, but gets amazed by Amanda when she tells that she has found a new boyfriend, a Chinese tourist. (Qingling)
