UP! No really, UP!

I remember hearing about some home builders here in Utah making one of their properties an exact replica of the house from UP!  I'm not sure how I forgot about it, actually the thing I remembered most in reading about it was how a few neighbors complained to the HOA(home owners association) about the bright colors & demanded that it be altered to less visually offensive shades.  Luckily common sense prevailed & the HOA decided to allow the color format to stay, I suppose the jerk neighbors that complained were as crochety as the lead character from the movie(irony defined).
  

My wife & I happened to spot the house on our way out to Ching Rescue Farm & stopped by for a look.  There is actually a sign on the white picket fence asking admirers to please limit their photographic enthusiasm to only a few quick shots from outside the gate.  However they do actually allow people in for photo shoots if you schedule ahead of time.  I would have snapped more shots but hesitated, not wanting to annoy the owners. 


How many homes do you come across that are replica's of homes from the movies?  I'd love Ferris Bueller's house personally.
