On May 29, Disney and Pixar will release Pixar's 10th film, "Up." The animated film centers around the adventures of 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen, who ties thousands of balloons to his house in order to set off for South America.
On Friday, May 8, Pixar hosted a "cluster ballooning" event for the press, which involved a flying armchair suspended below about 64 large, helium-filled balloons. Here, "Up" director Pete Docter takes a ride on the armchair as a film crew documents his adventure.
