Pixar(the movie companty) has my upmost respect

Colby Curtin, a 10-year-old with a rare form of cancer, was staying alive for one thing – a movie.

From the minute Colby saw the previews to the Disney-Pixar movie Up, she was desperate to see it. Colby had been diagnosed with vascular cancer about three years ago, said her mother, Lisa Curtin, and at the beginning of this month it became apparent that she would die soon and was too ill to be moved to a theater to see the film.

After a family friend made frantic calls to Pixar to help grant Colby her dying wish, Pixar came to the rescue.

The company flew an employee with a DVD of Up, which is only in theaters, to the Curtins’ Huntington Beach home on June 10 for a private viewing of the movie.

The animated movie begins with scenes showing the evolution of a relationship between a husband and wife. After losing his wife in old age, the now grumpy man deals with his loss by attaching thousands of balloons to his house, flying into the sky, and going on an adventure with a little boy.

Colby died about seven hours after seeing the film.

I saw this reported the other day and they said she was too ill to actually see the movie so her mom gave her a play by play for the whole movie.

I, for one, have enjoyed every movie they've ever made. I usually buy a DVD as soon as they are released so I can watch them with my daughters.:thumbsup:

I've had this story emailed to me by a bunch of friends and relatives. It is quite a touching story.

My family and I love Pixar films. They are some of the best family movies ever made and my children always look forward to seeing the newest film every summer. Next year, Toy Story 3.
