Adventure truly is out there.
Disney fanatics, hold on tight. There's an actual life-size hot air balloon inspired by Up floating above Canberra right now.

This is not a drill! The Bristol-made balloon arrived in Australia this weekend and joined 40 others at the 2016 Canberra Balloon Spectacular.
Officially known as Cameron TR-84, the balloon has 600 tiny balloons sewn into its outer skin. The main balloon is 84,000 cubic feet in size, which is considered small compared to standard balloons.
In true Carl and Ellie spirit, Cameron Balloons pilot Simon Askey told BuzzFeed they have plans to travel the world with this balloon.
"It was created to support the Disney/Pixar movie, Up. And we're hoping to send the balloon to Japan later this year," Askey said.
