Pixar stepped up to the plate to grant a wish - 06-21-2009, 07:24 AM


10 yr old Colby had a wish to see "Up" before she died. The movie was not out on DVD an she could not go to the movies to see it. So Pixar made her wish come true. Warning get the tissues ready.

I like that they wouldn't comment, or name the employee who took the movie to her.

I really like Pixar.

I was good until

Quote:
"Among the Up memorabilia the employee gave Colby was an “adventure book” – a scrap book the main character’s wife used to chronicle her journeys.

“I’ll have to fill those adventures in for her,” Lisa Curtin said. "
But at that point I absolutely lost it.
