Remember the replica Fredricksen house near Salt Lake City? It turns out Disney went along with the concept after a talk with the Docter.Up director Pete Docter "personally intervened on behalf of the project", The New York Times reports.
"Somehow [homebuilder Blair] Bangerter's detailed architectural drawings made their way to Mr. Docter’s desk at Pixar. Touched that his film had inspired such an elaborate reaction, he asked the company to make it happen."

Good ol' Pete...he's a cool guy.
I wonder if he's visited it yet...
I'm in Utah, I'll see it soon.
I'm going to see it soon. Heard it costs money to go in, but it all goes to charity.
