If you loved the Pixar film 'Up,' you'll love the untooned 'Up' house by Niccolo Picazo above. This digital photo manipulation imagines what a real-life version of that balloon-suspended abode would look like. Just like in the movie, the house sits precariously atop a cliff. The little Boy Scout is nowhere to be found, though.

Corporations can use both movies and artwork with escapist elements as marketing tools that will appeal to the general public's emotions.
