Did Naughty Dog confirm this or are you forming your own conclusion?
Was UP the first instance of this character arc?

This is a 2005 short French film about a woman being evicted from her house for construction, so she sews a giant sail, attaches it to her house, and flies away in it. It even has a few scenes that look remarkably close to the film UP.
My point? There are very, very few creative endeavours at this present day that you couldn't simply point to something earlier as being a source of inspiration or plagiarism. Some even argue that there are no unique ideas. Everything is simply a mashup of preexisting ideas.
