Disney's movie "Up" in real life

[nublikescake]

Neat. They said something about putting people in there but I didn't see any. It would've been nice to see someone up there in the house pop balloons, one at a time to descend.

Anyone got any more info on this? A longer video?

Do we know where this was? I swear a saw a huge bunch of balloons off of highway 138 in Palmdale/Littlerock one or two weekends ago.

I wonder if they let the house get up high enough for all the balloons to pop...I'm sure they didn't but if they did, it may have created a very interesting landing.

That was cool. "Setting a world record" along the way? What, the record for flying houses? Most colorful balloons? Fun to watch. And yes, if I had that kind of money I'd love to do that someday.

Yeah, until you read:

He never married and had no children. Larry hiked into the forest and shot himself on October 6, 1993. He died at the age of 44.

Sad 🙁

Cool vid. But WTF that title banner across the lower third of the screen was annoyinng.

 

[Hail The Brain Slug]

What a waste of helium.

Kinda awesome, but how are they going to control where it lands ?

Call me crazy, but I'm thinking a house falling out of the sky might do some damage to whatever it lands on.

 

[DaWhim]

what about getting the house down?

 

[fustercluck]

Kinda neat but people need to stop having a boner over Up and other Pixar movies. They're usually good movies...but get over them. Just my opinion though...I didn't like "Up" myself either 🙂

Agree. I thought it was mediocre at best.

Looks like it was possibly in California. If you watch the video again, the name of the reporter pops up at the bottom with the place underneath it.
