I had to share this. I thought it was a very touching story deserved to be seen.

Very, very moving story. I'm glad Pixar was willing and able to make a dying girl's wish come true.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I held it together when I read that one until I got to the part about the My Adventure Book.

Wow, that's very moving -- especially given the theme and story of the film. Thanks for sharing this.

Very emotional here, Up will have a new meaning after this young girl's story......

If anyone ever gets a chance to attend a "Relay for Life" event, you should. Very inspirational tribute to those who are fighting or have fought cancer.

Everyone at Pixar who was involved in making this happen deserves a huge attaboy.

Those who talk up the union and worry about pay...

While those things are important...

You come to this company knowing what you're getting into. Crappy pay to do a fun job.

And then something like this story happens.

Where else can you say you work for a company where at least part of it would go out and do something like this?

When it is all said and done, in comparison, just how much does that day-to-day stuff matter?

This story is so, so cool.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
