VIDEO: The Floating House in Pixar's Up Becomes a Reality

Here's some (ahem) uplifting news to start the week: Real life just got a little bit closer to Pixar movies! Or at least closer to Up. A group of scientists have found that you actually can make a house float simply by tying hundreds of helium balloons to it. 300 balloons, to be exact. If this feat into isn't cause for universal celebration, I'm not sure what is. Surely, an even larger group of scientists is working to take this research to its natural conclusion and find a way for humans to actually live inside the Pixar movies we love so dearly. Check out the video of the floating house after the jump.
