Manning - Concerning the “Squirrel” thing: Ha! You actually did that? That’s hilarious. (snigger)
When you can quote even the dialogue in the behind-the-scenes clips
When you randomly yell, “Adventure is out there!” from atop a high platform… or for no apparent reason
When you make replicas of Russell’s badges and pin them to your chest with pride
When you name your kid “Russell” and sign him up for admission to the Boy Scouts organization
When you take a picture of a random kid in the supermarket just because he looks like Russell (I actually did this. If anyone wants me to send them the picture I can do it. )
Oh my Mitch, I hope your future son doesn’t get annoyed for you pushing him to sell cookies to little old ladies (or helping grumpy old men across their yard). I should try yelling ‘Adventure is Out There’ from my balcony one day.
…
When you join the Cloud Watching Society (they do exist!) just to see if you can spot Carl’s house.
When you can identify a Cumulonimbus and tell when it’s going to rain.
When you take up Ornithological Studies as a course in the hopes of identifying what species Kevin is.
When you show your friends the new trailer to get them interested and express surprise when they tell you they’ve never seen it (This, I did).
When you start watching old adventure movies like the Indy series and Romancing the Stone (This, I want to do over the holidays)
When you look at an airplane and wonder [spoil]if a dog is flying it[/spoil].
When you imagine what your dog would say to you if it wore a translator collar.
thedriveintheatre - Puh-ha!! I literally burst out laughing at some of your answers.
You know, I think I’ve heard of that “Cloud Watching Society”. The clubs people create, I tell ya’. I’d probably join it, though, even if Up didn’t exist. (snigger)
Too bad I’m never going to get married, because if I did I’d probably have a boy named Russell, and I would sign him up as a Boy Scout.
When you nick-name your grandfather Carl and follow him around with balloons.
When you suddenly having a craving for chocolate around the clock.
Mitch - Never get married? Well, I wouldn’t call matrimony off the list of things to do just yet, you still got a whole life ahead of you and who knows who you might meet? Unless you want to go all de facto…
Oh my gosh, what an awesome series, aasimpy! Did you make that? XD
Welcome to the boards!
Oh Chrysler…
I used to drink Up-and-Go just for breakfast all the time! Until I realised it wasn’t actually meant to replace a proper brekkie of eggs and bread. Or Tip-Top, for the latter. Maybe they should do a product tie-in like what Kung Fu Panda did with Kelloggs. Then again, maybe not.
When you actually ask your friend to take a picture of you next to the standee in the cinema lobby after watching Star Trek.
When you never look at a balloon quite the same way again.
When you actually start thinking of planning your next family trip to South America (the only continent besides Antarctica my family hasn’t visited, by the way).
When you grumble to anyone who would listen about the staggered release date for your country.
Actually, they calculated how many balloons it’d take to lift Carl’s house. The number was so huge, Carl’s house would appear as a tiny dot by comparison, so it was decided to cut the number down.
You know you’re obsessed when you post this in the Disney Claimer’s journal:
Yep, I love the movie so much I had to make the category for it more than a week before seeing the actual film.
You also know when you’re obsessed when you make it a point of pride to say you’re responsible for the creation of the category:
I seriously went, “YES!” when my request was accepted.
-you watch the film, conciously noting what you’re going to comment on in the Pixar Planet Forums.
Off Topic: I don’t think there was a Pixar Mythbusters special. They just tested the whole floating things with balloons. I think Castoro Chiaro was saying that the people at Pixar did the calculations to see how many to put in the film to make it seem “reasonable” (as far reasonable as floating a house by balloons sounds anyway…)
You dream of traveling to foreign lands in a house levetated by balloons
It breaks your Wall-E scale (I used to rate movies on a scale of 1-Wall-E, One being the worst Wall-E being the greatest…this broke the scale! ^_^)
-[spoil] You dream of marrying a man like carl and having a life long adventure together
You try to create a collar to make your dog talk…I only wish I could really do such a thing…and that I had a dog…
You have a need to start an adventure book of our own
You freak out whenever you see a squirrel.[/spoil]
