* Though the filmmakers didn't want to copy ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' too much given the similar story, the scene of Carl's house in the storm is very much taken from the scene of Dorothy in the tornado, right down to the house careening towards the camera to punctuate the end of the scene.

* After Carl assaults an innocent construction worker over a mailbox, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy_bCSQDrLA one of the creepy corporate suits looks at Carl's house and puts a hand on Carl's gatepost]], much like [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/70/74/c6/7074c61ffb039f0715fd8c2e5635fd97.jpg a certain famous scene]] in ''Film/TheNightOfTheHunter''.

*** The ''Star Wars'' references themselves may be Shout Outs to how Pixar was originally spun off from George Lucas' media empire[[note]]and since Disney bought out the rest of that media empire, it's now Hilarious In Hindsight.[[/note]]

Nope, Examples Are Not Arguable. Shout-outs must be intentional


* Debatably a ShoutOut since it's stock music, but the song that plays for the scene right after Carl becomes a widower is from ''Carmen''.

* Pete Docter has made no mistake that Creator/ChuckJones is one of his heroes. Check out the shapes of the rocks during the chase sequence, the personalities of the dogs, and the fact that Kevin looks [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wile_E_Coyote somewhat familiar...]].

* In real life, Charles Muntz was one of the pioneers of television, known as "Mad Man" Muntz. His business model was to control every aspect of television, from programming (the DuMont Network) to the actual sets. Although he was not able to compete for long against the established radio crossover networks of CBS and NBC, many of his innovations are still in use today.

* The idea of a "plateau lost in time" somewhere in South America is clearly modeled after the legendary lost plateau from ''Literature/TheLostWorld'', made particularly glaring with all the references to it describing it as a land lost to time. On top of all that, Muntz's presentation of the giant bird skeleton is similar to the scene from the book, in which Dr. Challenger presents a live pteranodon as proof of his journey (a Bronto/Apatosaurus in the original stop-motion film).

* In the sequence where the house has just taken flight, it floats past the apartment of a little black girl; she has a [[SigilSpam not-so-Hidden Mickey]] in the form of her Minnie Mouse style hairdo (also known as afro puffs). Also, the ball she's playing with is the one from [[PixarShorts Luxo Jr]] and hidden in the lower left corner is a [[EarlyBirdCameo Lotso]] [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 Huggin' bear]].

* The blatant ''Franchise/StarWars'' references:
** The dart-shooting biplanes are manned by dogs that check in as members of "Grey" Squadron, ''à la'' the Rebel attack on the Death Star. Also notice the dogs have flight names like "Red X". One of the few ones not used is Red 5, Luke's flight name. This also qualifies as a StealthPun.
** One of the pictures in ''My New Adventure Book'' shows Carl and Russell going to a movie theater to see ''Star Wars''.

* In ''The Art of Up'', there's a detailing of all the badges on Russell's sash. There are several badges, some that look to be modeled from actual merit badges; but one that caught his eye depicted a hand karate-chopping a watermelon in half. Wilderness Explorers are learning [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit]].
** Another one of the badges looks just like the logo for the [[PhineasAndFerb Fireside Girls]].
** And the badge shown with the animator credits is a sheet of paper punched for an animation disc ({==} O {==}).
