Pixar grants girl's dying wish.

Postby Æron » Fri Jun 19, 2009 4:33 am

With a private viewing of Up, the movie she desperately wanted to see before she died. When the family realized Colby wouldn't survive long enough or be able to be transported to a theater, a family friend contacted Pixar, who immediately rushed an employee with the movie on DVD to the girl's home. Colby died seven hours after seeing the movie.

In a way, 'Up' is rather symbolic given the situation.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Just another reason why Pixar is awesome. It's cool to see that they are still human enough to care about this little girl. Wow. Sad though. :crycry:
If you guys haven't seen the movie yet, I would definitely recommend giving it a watch.
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

I was going to go see it, but I think that all of my friends went without me. If so, I think I'll wait until the DVD is officially released
