Good job, Pixar.( BTW, the movie is one of the finest I’ve seen in a long time-the first 10 minutes would make an excellent standalone short.)
Hat’s off to Pixar. Kudos.
Why would they make a dieing girl wait for a dvd to be flown in? UP has been available online since the day it was released. Luckily it got there in time (she died only hours later???-sad. Are the studios that obsessed with fighting online copies that they couldn’t just give them the website?
This one got me going WITT.
I took my 10-year old daughter to see this movie last week. This sad, sad story makes me count my blessings.
Proof that angels do exist.
Up (1976, co-written by Roger Ebert)
Typically pathetic propaganda flourish. The girl died anyway.
Pixar did the right thing. Kudos.
Folks, could we please give Pixar some credit for doing a very nice thing in a timely manner?
It is about 50 miles from Burbank to Huntington Beach, and they FLEW someone up with a bunch of stuffed characters and the DVD.
Pixar has declined comment, they did NOT do this for gain.
I know they are a bunch of liberals (with the exception of John Ratzenberger) and I cannot bear to think I paid money to see a movie that had Ed Asner in it in any role, but come on.
This wasn’t going to save her life. They didn’t make money off of it. It was a nice thing to do.
Please give it a break.
That said - I saw the movie yesterday. Will not take the grandkids. The movie - IMO - is basiclly an adult movie and only parts are for ‘kids’. The violence is something I have come to expect from Disney.... The Incredibles suffered from the same problem - OK for adults, questionable for 3 & 4 Y/Os.
My son had a liver transplant when he was an infant. Over the course of a few years he had multiple long stays at a hospital in San Francisco.
During one of our stays some of the artists from Pixar came through and visited every child’s room for a short period of time - talking with the kids and drawing for them. We have the 4 cartoons of “Finding Nemo” characters that they drew for us.
They also arranged for “Finding Nemo” to be played on the the televisions in all the rooms. This was when the movie was only playing in theaters. Very nice of them!
My husband took my 10 yo to see it last week. They both came home exhausted and red-eyed from all the crying they did during the movie. My husband couldn’t even retell the story line without tearing up again.
I could have done without reading this. Poor little kid.
