Carl and Ellie's house, in real life. I would like a tour of this house. I wonder how the duplicated all of the family photos and everything. I know disney would never loan them the art to creat them. geez and where dd they get all the furniture made too.
all I can say is WOW. this is better than the simpsons house someone built out here.

If "Up" is available on DVD, they could've bought one and watched it while taking notes on layout, design, etc.. I thought it was a very nice house, with an interesting blend of old and new, e.g., the up to date fixtures with antiques, without the usually jarring cheek-by-jowl effect. It gives the impression that Carl and Ellie were a very sweet couple. I haven't seen the movie; but I saw the nursery and remembered reading elsewhere that Carl and Ellie had a baby but lost it. True, or not? Because there were pictures of a child.

The subdivision builder is the one that made the house. They got permission from Disney to make it as similar as possible, including the interior and furniture. I read they even put balloons on top for the official unveiling. Nothing in the story about it being an option for other houses in the subdivision. Just a publicity gimmick I guess.

I found that movie very depressing. We have been having trouble conceiving and I am the one who is always trying to plan trips. I went to see it by myself and cried my eyes out during the first half. Was hard to watch. Should have walked out.

SWMBO always says it isn't a Disney movie unless you feel miserable in the beginning. :)

donut, I never looked @ Up in this way. I didn't see a baby in Up, only in the cloud forms. Maybe I blinked. We watch Up @ least 2xs per month.

I think Up! tugged at the ol' heartstrings faster than any other movie I know of. You quickly come to like Carl and Ellie, share their ups and down, and you can understand how Carl's life seems to come to a halt...
*sniff!* No...I'm not crying...I'm sweating through my eyes....
