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.

Pixar did a good thing here. They’ve also done rotten things in the past (like denying film rentals of their shorts, before they’d ever made a feature, to someone in a state, who didn’t even work in the government, because of legislation restricting abortions in that state).

“It is about 50 miles from Burbank to Huntington Beach, and they FLEW someone up with a bunch of stuffed characters and the DVD.”

They were probably able to do that faster than it would take me to figure out out to play the movie off the internet. (Okay - but now where to I plug it into the TV so I can see it? Do I have to disconnect the rabbit ears?)

Pixar is in Emeryville near Oakland (site of the ice cream parlor in the film) so it’s a bit more than 50 miles. I hope the child got to hug those stuffed toys - since she couldn’t actually see Dug and the dog pack in the film.
