Pixar grants girl's dying wish to see 'Up'Company sent DVD so Huntington Beach girl, 10, could watch it.
By ANNIE BURRIS
HUNTINGTON BEACH – Colby Curtin, a 10-year-old with a rare form of cancer, was staying alive for one thing – a movie.
From the minute Colby saw the previews to the Disney-Pixar movie Up, she was desperate to see it. Colby had been diagnosed with vascular cancer about three years ago, said her mother, Lisa Curtin, and at the beginning of this month it became apparent that she would die soon and was too ill to be moved to a theater to see the film.
After a family friend made frantic calls to Pixar to help grant Colby her dying wish, Pixar came to the rescue.
The company flew an employee with a DVD of Up, which is only in theaters, to the Curtins’ Huntington Beach home on June 10 for a private viewing of the movie...............
Colby Curtin said she did not want to die until she saw the new Disney-Pixar movie Up.

Pixar is great, we are friends with them and they always send us tons of autographed goodies to auction off. They are very good about taking care of kids. They have not forgotten the big picture. There is much much more they do the public never hears or sees. They don't announce it...that is not what they do it.
My heart breaks for her family. What a beautiful child with a beautiful life, no matter how long or short it was.
i like when people (or even corporations) do things for the sake of OTHERS. it is so rare - the lack of bragging
