In this post, Up makes everyone cry again

This story has pretty much been all over the web already, but I don't care, I just have to post this. This human interest story comes straight out of California, from Annie Burris of the Orange County Register:

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.

They didn't even go through Make A Wish or anything like that. They just went ahead, and sent a Pixar employee over there with the movie, for her to watch.

It's just absolutely touching to know that the guys at Pixar are not only good filmmakers, but good people as well. Still though, that poor little girl.

Take care of yourselves.
