Girl's Dying Wish

This made me sad and I'm not going to lie that the indepth story brought a tear to my eye. A 10 year old cancer stricken California girl's dying wish was to see the movie 'UP'. Pixar brought a DVD copy of it to her house (since she was too sick to go out) and she passed away later that night after watching it.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Colby Curtin got her final wish. The 10-year-old girl desperately wanted to see the new Disney-Pixar movie, "Up." But the cancer-stricken girl was too sick to go to a theater. Thanks to a family friend who got in touch with the movie studio Pixar, an employee of the Emeryville-based company arrived at Colby's home with a DVD copy of the movie, The Orange County Register reported Friday. The girl died later that night.

Damn, that's sad. Very nice of Pixar to do that for the girl as her final wish.

Well.... At least she got her wish.

Very touching story.
Made me tear up a bit.
Condolences to the family.

Touching story, glad the girl got her wish in the end.

Sad hey.
Glad to see she got her last wish.
My Condolences go out to her family.

espicially for parents,

Not to be heartless or anything, but god damn. Am I the only one on this forum who really doesn't give a shit about this stuff? lol

No offence,
but I agree,
Not like I know her,
yes its sad but not in my care

Its just different.
Normally when people die, their last wish isn't to watch some movie.
But yes, i know she was only 10.

Its nice to know about these things and show affection, but on the other hand its none of our business.

Tyler,
there is so many things that people wish for that are different,
I mean
just stuff you dont inspect,
like at all.
Like, a ride on a pony, a bungy jump, eating something,

well... the thing that caught me was Pixar sending someone to rush all the way to her home with the dvd, some toys and posters whatever as soon as they could. thats really sweet of them to do that... i mean they could like... "this is a F***ing economic crisis, you're expecting me to f***ing waste my money and time on someone whos gonna die???" i mean... yeah well.

Lol, wow yjlasher22,
your great,
its called courtesy,
there tryen to help a little innoccnet or w/e* girl,
shes only 10, has cancer, and dieing from it.

*died from it.

But yeh, i think its just really nice of them.
and I do care about stuff like this.

/ agree.

ALSO... anyone seen the movie "Fanboys"? The EXACT same thing happens, but with the Star Wars movie instead. Nobody lies a copy-cat.

pixar is awesome =]

One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.
Go figure.

well i do care about this... People should care about this type of news, it changes you.
Also Pixar did the right thing and people should give credits to that, not every company complies to please a girl`s wish.

Feel sorry for her :/:

Was the film really that bad? :rolleyes:

Man that's terrible, hope the movie was good.

Awww... :( That's sooo freaking sad :(.

I agree a bit, too. I'm don't want to sound like an ass, but if this makes you drop a tear, you need to get out more.

I think "get out less" would be more accurate.

It's kind of touching, but crying? Be a man for crying out loud.
