Apparently professional cluster-balloonists are a thing, and Jonathan Trappe is one of them. He flew across the English channel with balloon clusters two years ago. If you have that hobby, it’s only a matter of time before you would want to re-create the house from Pixar’s Up. He built a house, attached balloons, climbed aboard, and took to the sky – no big deal.

It took 3 days and over 2,600 balloons for The Balloon Guy, Jeremy Telford, to make this recreation of Bag End. He spent 10-15 hours a day blowing up balloons and twisting them into shape to make this amazing tribute to The Hobbit. There are some great details like a basket of apples on the table, a chandelier, and even a fire in the fireplace.
