Disney/Pixar has teamed up with cluster balloon pilot Jonathan Trappe to promote the UPcoming new film by recreating Carl Fredricksen’s helium-tastic voyage on a much smaller scale (right down to using Carl’s armchair instead of his house). Two teams will be leading a 20-city tour on either coast which already began back in late April.

Today, the west coast tour visited the Pixar Studios campus as shown in the photo on the left.

Remaining tour dates are as follows:

EAST COAST TOUR
May 11:  Cleveland, OH
May 14 through May 19:  New York City
May 21 or May 22:  Boston, MA
May 25 through May 29:  Philadelphia , PA –or-  Washington , D.C.

WEST COAST TOUR
May 7 or May 8:  San Francisco, CA / Press Day
May 11 or May 12:  Sacramento, CA
May 14 or May 15:  Dallas, TX

Also trailblazing the skies (as seen in the photo above) is an Up-branded zeppelin from Airship Ventures. For a great read, check out their blog at Up Ship! which offers dozens of photos and videos of  behind the scenes work at the company including work on the Up zeppelin, including this great view of the cluster balloon launching at the studios.
