First, we see this when Carl and Russell fight off Charles Muntz to save the last living member of the Snipe species. The snipe, or Kevin, is a beautiful, colorful, flightless bird who trusts Russell and Carl to protect him from the hunter. In this scene, Russell and Carl are working to make the world a better place by saving the last snipe and fighting off the poacher. In today’s society, poaching and killing endangered species is illegal, but people still do it. If this does not change, many animals will go extinct. Another scene of intuition/idealism is when we see Carl and Ellie’s special connection. An example of this was their passion for adventure and travel. They had always wanted to travel to the South African rain forest but never got to go because Ellie got sick and died.

Within meeting him, Carl finds out that he is not what T.V had made him out to be and he is not a good person. Carl is removing himself from the corruption of his society. In society today if people are not following trends or doing what others are, they are outcasts. Even if they think it is not right, they still participate, so they can fit in. Lastly, nature presents itself when Doug, the dog, is presented with a choice to be loyal to his owner and dog pack, or do what is right and join Carl and Russell. After being mistreated and an outcast, he chooses to stand up for himself and makes the right decision. This scene represents getting rid of distractions. In today's society people want to change but always put it off and create distractions, so they don’t have to deal with their problems. These problems in society are what the transcendentalist movement is trying to change by displaying their beliefs in a way everyone
