As discussed on the Ask for Explanations thread here current appears to be an uncredited photo that may have originated as an old demotivational meme. So how about this from Up:

We could go with just the turtle cloud as well:

But I have to admit I like the context that keeping Carl and Ellie on their picnic, skywatching.

I'm in favor of this change. The addition of Carl and Ellie skywatching helps to support the context of the trope being characters pointing out a cloud's resemblance to an object rather than just having the image be a cloud the resembles an object.

(Got deja vu so for the curious, a similar but not identical shot is on Grow Old with Me)

I'm fine with 1.1.

[up][up] Yeah, that one is from a couple of scenes later in the same montage where they're on a different picnic trip (different clothes).

I don't think the second panel is needed, so I vote for 1.2. Yes, the trope is about people thinking that a cloud looks like something, but it's often portrayed as it actually shaped like that thing, and it's obvious that the cloud is deliberately shaped like a turtle.

But that isn't the trope, though? It's not "funny cloud shapes", it's "observing the sky and pointing out shapes".

Same result, but in a single concise panel.

I'll go with 16 for succinctness but I definitely disagree about it "looking better" the artstyle of Up! is much prettier to me.
