I just read this news yesterday, and it's just so sweet that Pixar went out of their normal work function to travel out and grant a girl's death wish... It's sad that she past away, but at least she died happy.

May Colby RIP.

Sad, but she got her wish, and i hope she died happy :?:cry:

I guess movie companies aren't all shallow and evil :)

That article was very sad, glad that she was able to have a happy last day, at least.

:cry:

that was such a sweet, touching story I cried a little bit lol

good for Pixar for doing that. It seems like such a small deed, yet it problably meant so much to Colby

where is that heartless soul who said he hates pixar movies?

Either way; sad story, and I'm happy Pixar fulfilled her final wish. :)

"When I watched it, I had really no idea about the content of the theme of the movie," said Curtin, 46. "I just know that word 'Up' and all of the balloons and I swear to you, for me it meant that (Colby) was going to go up. Up to heaven."

Wow this line really meant something.....

Good marketing? Pixar did not even comment on this situation, let alone give information on which Pixar employee came to her house... It's just the family's gratitude towards Pixar's good deed and sharing the story - not a marketing ploy...

[QUOTE="MrPraline"] Call me a cynical bastard, but it's very good marketing to do something like this.

When you think of it, what good do you think this would have done to Pixar if they were expecting good publicity anyways? They are already one of the most respected studios in the industry to this day, so it's not like they did this in a desperate move to gain some respect. They just wanted to do a good deed for a family.

Like I said, Pixar is not the one making this publicity. They had no intentions to either, and it's quite evident when they had no comment on the situation when contacted by the press.

Not reading that, I don't wants another touching story to touch me inappropriately.clembo1990

*hands Clembo a doll*

where did the story touch you...was it here? Here? Or how about here?

This quote from the article is incredibly touching. I feel terrible for the family they are losing their daughter at such a young age, but it must opened the family's eyes into helping their daughter's wish come true. Man, this by far the saddest thing I've ever read in OT.

Thats sad :cry:

RIP

where is that heartless soul who said he hates pixar movies?

That's so sad but the thing that got me was that her mother described the movie to her because she couldn't open her eyes.

I read about it earlier, it's really sad. :( That was nice of Pixar to grant her wish. :cry:

that stinks about the girl:(

[QUOTE="MrPraline"] I'm not saying Pixar did this for the good press, I'm always a little skeptical while reading stories like this. They still could've anticipated the family going to the press. But, yeah it probably was a genuine good deed. MrPraline
