** There was indeed something else to it that you missed. Earlier in the film, Russel tells Carl that if he's ever in danger to use the Wilderness Explorer cry for help, which is "Caw-caw! Rawr!" Although Carl didnt take it seriously at the time, but he knew Russel still would, and that it would be enough to encourage him to climb up the hose.

** The real answer, of course, is that it symbolically cements Carl as Russell's father figure. In-universe, Carl almost certainly got the okay from Russell's mom, who equally was almost certainly happy to have a positive paternal role model enter Russell's life.

** Unfortunately, "little kids don't drink prune juice!" isn't legally admissable evidence. While it's ''suggestive'', it's still circumstantial evidence (since it could be plausibly argued that someone was trying to set him up).

** This seems like AluminumChristmasTrees. At the time when Carl and Ellie were a young couple, people often did just chuck money they were saving in a cheap glass/ceramic container and then just smash it when they needed to get into it, because they were cheap to replace and there was usually no other way to get the money out once you'd put it in. You wouldn't necessary go out and buy one specially, you'd just repurpose a glass jar you'd gotten some groceries in or something. Private safes would be expensive and reuseable piggy banks and the like didn't really start taking off until consumer rubber and plastics started becoming more widely available, by which point Carl and Ellie were likely just old enough to keep in the habit.

** The House wouldn't have been believed. As for the Spirit of Adventure, given that Muntz was flying it around South America for decades without modern radar picking it up (South America has plenty of regular air traffic after all) it presumably has some kind of stealth system (I mean if Muntz can make talking dog collars.....) And afterwards it's possible Carl got it registered with the FAA as his private aircraft and gets clearance when he goes places with it.
Added DiffLines:
** It's possible Muntz just traveled out to local cities without bringing his blimp to buy supplies. Given that he'd aged and probably wore different clothing it's possible South American residents in outlier towns wouldn't have recognized him as lost US explorer Charles Muntz.

****If the purpose was financial screening they could just investigate the family’s finances like a mortgage company does. They charge a lot because they are companies and have expenses to cover. People who would prefer to adopt for free or close to it can generally adopt through the state. The movie takes place in an earlier era when some people were fairly uncomfortable with adoption. But really it’s probably just a story device - they didn’t want the couple to have kids, so they didn’t.

* How did Russell get onto the porch? We never see him during takeoff, but he says he was underneath. It's established very early on that Russell is anything ''but'' athletic. So how'd he get up there?
** Adreneline rush kicked in. People do crazy stuff when their lives are on the line.
* How did Muntz get his hands on the Wilhelm scream sound clip? Wasn't that thing first used in the '50s?
** RuleOfFunny, or maybe he's got really [=WiFi=] and downloaded it.
* If Ellie actually got to go to paradise falls, [[spoiler:Isn't it likely that Muntz, her childhood hero, would have tried to kill her?]]
** No. Ellie is badass. She would've grown into a NeverMessWithGranny type and kicked his ass.
*** Really? Never are we shown that she's a master at martial arts. Just because she has an adventure-spirit it doesn't mean that she's an ActionGirl.
* Dobermans and Rottweilers make sensible guard dogs, and could probably be used for hunting if you trained them well. But English bulldogs, like the one that went along with Alpha and Beta to hunt down Kevin, are far from athletic enough for such jobs and would probably faint from overexertion if they attempted to perform them. Now, this could be overlooked if he were built more like the original bulldog breed (which was probably still around when Muntz went on his expedition), but he's clearly a modern bulldog. What the crap is he doing going hunting in the South American jungles?!
** Perhaps Gamma is supposed to be a bull ''terrier'': a Staffordshire, an American Staffordshire (Amstaff), or a Pit Bull Terrier. (Clearly not a Bull Terrier.) With the Creative Allowance for Animation, he could easily end up looking more like a bulldog. Of course, he could also be a shout-out to Marc Anthony of Looney Toons fame . . .
* Who was taking pictures of Carl and Ellie's intimate moments (her birthday, feeding pigeons and just laying out together)?
** A friend who passed later on, I guess.
** They used a camera with a time-delay shutter, mounted on a tripod. [[Tropers/{{Kalmbach}} This troper]] used that process to photograph his own wedding.
* Carl is eight years old at the start of the film, whereas Muntz is an established explorer, probably around thirty if not older. They meet again when Carl is 78, ''seven decades later''. Muntz is now either close to or over 100 years old, and has been living without any sort of healthcare or modern medicine for all that time. How is he even able to walk by himself, let alone swing a sword or give chase to a man over twenty years his junior across the top of a flying airship?
** The guy made dog collars that allow the wearers to talk, he probably [[{{Steampunk}} steampunked]] himself up some sort of [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Lazarus pit]], Ra's Al Ghul style.
* At several points during the movie Russell is referred to as a "small mailman". These are dogs born and bred in the wilderness, how would they know what a mailman was having presumably never seen one before?
** It's probably something to do with--SQUIRREL!!

*** And besides, the only person who we know for sure knows how Muntz died is Carl, and he's not going to tell the story in such a way that it makes him out to be responsible. Russell can vouch for the fact that Muntz was trying to murder them, and the dogs would be able to testify as to all the times they were set loose on others Muntz thought were after his bird. No one has any evidence that would lead to Carl facing legal trouble - he could probably say that he found the Spirit of Adventure abandoned, and everyone would assume Muntz died decades ago.

*** In-universe, a glass jar like that also serves a decorative purpose, meaning it can be left in a high-traffic part of the house for them to deposit some loose change as they happen to pass by it, without seeming out of place. This troper's family has kept a near-identical jar in their sitting room for the same purpose. Not only would a tin can or a piggy bank not nearly be large enough to contain the funds they need for the trip, but neither one is something that they could leave lying around somewhere. The ''real'' question is why they smashed the jar open with a hammer each time they needed the money for something, instead of just tipping it over and pouring the money out.

***It's pretty difficult to take the money out of those jars, especially if you need a lot of it. Maybe they thought it was easier to just smash it and then replace it, it wouldn't cost more than a broken leg or a destroyed roof.

** Clearly, he must've tried. It just didn't work, obviously. As stated, trying to capture the bird alive and uninjured is probably much more difficult than just killing it, since it's too fast to capture easily ''without'' injuring it in some capacity.

** From what we see in the film, he seemed to leave his dogs to do most of the work, and while they're certainly possess more dexterity than the average dog, they're still not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Couple this with how fast Kevin is, how strong her legs probably are, how her species might be endangered, and the fact that she lives in a deadly labyrinth that's impossible to navigate...and with Muntz seemingly going a little too far of the deep end over the years, and it's plausible that he never had the chance to catch her. (Especially since his claim to the world was that he would bring the bird back ''alive'', which limits severely the means his dogs can use to catch her very easily.)
