Description

A familiar film house in detail

The model follows the house's narrow, multi-storey shape closely, including the recognisable round turret and the porch shown repeatedly throughout the film. Windows, shutters and the overall facade are built to make the house instantly recognisable as the setting from Up, even without any balloons attached. Inside, the model opens up to individual rooms, letting builders recreate scenes from the film with the two minifigures rather than only viewing the house from outside.

Carl and Russell as minifigures

Carl Fredricksen and Russell, the film's two central characters, come included as minifigures, making it possible to stage scenes in and around the house right away. The choice focuses deliberately on this mismatched pair, whose relationship drives the whole story, rather than including side characters. For collectors of Disney and Pixar sets, this fills a gap by adding two figures not previously included in other sets from the range. Both figures also carry small pieces of gear from the film, such as hiking equipment, making it easier to recreate specific scenes.

Colours and parts

White and tan form the house's facade, lime picks out shutters and roof detailing, and reddish brown covers wooden elements such as doors and porch posts. Of the 598 pieces, 231 are unique, a high level of detail that shows especially in the facade structure and interior rooms. The full parts list and colour breakdown on this page helps when hunting for matching facade or wood tones for other house builds.

Who it suits

Up House suits Pixar fans and anyone who appreciates a compact building model with plenty of interior detail. Its modest footprint suits a smaller shelf space, while the two minifigures leave plenty of room for recreating scenes from the film. Anyone already collecting Disney or Pixar sets adds one of the studio's most recognisable locations to their collection with this house. Even viewers unfamiliar with the film tend to find the narrow, layered shape and the detailed interior an inviting and visually distinctive build.
