The ‘UP’ movie balloon house comes to life!
Fan creates dream home and takes to the sky like character in much-loved Pixar film
'Let’s go fly a kite', or even a house, as was the case for one ‘UP’ movie enthusiast!
Cluster-balloonist Jonathan Trappe lived every kids dream at this year’s International Hot Air Balloon Festival in Mexico by making and flying the Pixar blockbuster’s balloon house!
Jonathan, from North Carolina, left spectators in awe as he took to the sky in the cartoon-themed home just like the animation’s 78-year-old character Carl Frederickson.
Kids, and adults, try to contain your squeals at the fact this house is real!
“It’s about living an interesting life – for me as the pilot and those watching, “ said Jonathan, reports the Daily Mail.
