Just like with the movie, you need your Kleenex when reading the article. I'm really happy that Pixar was nice enough to send someone out with the DVD, and that the girl got to see the movie. She was living for that movie.

Thanks for sharing!

This story was featured on CNN news this morning as well. I love the way Disney and Pixar do things like this for their fans. I remember a story of a family bringing their sick daughter to Disney World as part of her Make A Wish. Her health took a turn for the worse on the way and she had to go straight to the hospital after getting off the plane. Disney found out and knew that her favorite character was Cinderella, so they sent Cinderella to the hospital with a gift basket and tea and they had a little tea party as Cinderella read her stories. The little girl died a few hours later, but the mother wrote an article about how touching that was and how special the last few hours of her life were as a result of that.

I don't know really what to comment. This was really sweet, but also really emotional.

That was a very touching story. It was really nice of them to do that for a dying child.

Poor dear. It just wasn't her time. At least she had her wish granted. She'll be missed.

I think what's both sad and incredible is that "Up" was perhaps the correct choice of film.

Up is all about celebrating life, even of those who have passed away. That life in itself is an adventure and even the smallest moments make it amazing.

The little girl's life is quite sad so I am very happy to know that Disney and Pixar provided her a great movie so she could have her final moments in peace and enjoyment.

what an impacting story *cries alil* and what a heartfelt moment of the family being able to witness their daughter's request comin true before this unfortnate event. Such will power Colby had to keep holdin on to life, what a trooper........I really hope this story ends up as a bonus feat on the 2 disc/blu ray edition of UP, like : The Impact of UP (a featurette)

They shouldn't do that. Why? When you do an act of kindness you don't tell people about it. It says that you care more for the attention and praise you will receive than the cause you are supposedly contributing for.

This story was known because it seems the family was so grateful that they wanted to let everyone know about Disney and Pixar's kindness and a News Team decided to report on it.

well I mean not like "attention" wise, but more like the influence it had on some people, not just Colby, they did somethin like this on Lion King's Platinum Edition "Making Of" featurette

Also, Pixar refuses to comment on it, which is the right thing to do. To talk about it or continue to advertise it make it seem like a publicity stunt rather than a simple act of kindness and gratitude to a fan. The way they have handled it proves that Disney and Pixar are run by great people.

it's really an emotional and sad story, it's great of course that Pixar had helped out here and i agree, it's good they don't comment that.

[Jack Skellington]

Wow, this is just really sad.
She's "Up" now, I guarantee you.

[ajmrowland]

Very sad.

[PeterPanfan]

Aw, that's depressing.

At least she got to see it, though.

[Kyle]

Aw, that's depressing.

At least she got to see it, though.

tecnically, she didnt see it, which is even sadder. She was in so much pain she couldnt keep her eyes open, had the mother describe everything that happened.

[daydreamer22010]

that was absolutely heart breaking...i managed to hold myself together until the very end of the article. I am happy she got her final wish granted.

[DisneyJedi]

That is a really heartfelt story. May she rest in peace.

It is sad, but this is just more publicity for disney/pixar

[Siren]

I don't think Pixar did this for publicity at all. If they were gonna do it for publicity, they would bring the DVD to a children's hospital and make sure news cameras were there to get the whole thing on tape.

I think Pixar did it not become they are a multi-million dollar production company but because they are a group of people who have hearts to care about one single's child last wish. She truly did hold on to see that movie. And I am glad Pixar did it.
