    Just in case people didn't have enough reasons to like Pixar

    The short story: a terminally ill 10-year-old girl's dying wish was to see the new Pixar film "Up" but she was too sick to attend the movie, so a Pixar rep flew to her house with a copy of the film (and numerous "goodies") for the girl to see. She died seven hours later.

    Stories like that always get to me because the poor child is just that, a child, completely cheated out of life. Bravo to Pixar for going the extra mile to at least grant the girl one last wish.

          Read about this and came close to tears over it. Great move by Pixar. It's almost as if the girl was holding on just for the film; and once satisfied with her wish, was willing to let death take its course.
          "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                                  I'm pretty sure I just went from Pixar fan to Pixar fan for life now.
