I thought that place looked familiar.



The heart-warming tale of UP, Pixar's latest 3D animation film about Mr Fredricksen, an old man who takes a balloon-powered flight in his house to South America, was inspired by locations just as magical and remote as those created in the film.

Angel Falls in Venezuela, the world's highest waterfall, which rises 979 m (3,212 ft) with a drop of about 807m (2,647 ft)... ..are clearly the inspiration for Paradise Falls, the location that Mr Fredricksen and his beloved Ellie dream of during the film.
