From worstpreviews, Ten-year-old Colby Curtin was diagnosed with a rare vascular cancer about three years ago and her condition got so bad that she became too weak to get out of bed. It was obvious that she would soon die.
Colby's one wish was to see the new Pixar movie "Up," which is why her mother and family friends started making frantic calls to the studio to help grant the young girl's dying wish. And Pixar came to the rescue.
The company flew an employee with a bag of stuffed animals, a movie poster, and the DVD of "Up," which is only in theaters, to the Curtins' Huntington Beach home on June 10th for a private viewing of the movie. Colby got the see the film, but died about seven hours later.
"When I watched it, I had really no idea about the content of the theme of the movie," said mother Lisa Curtin. "I just know that word 'Up' and all of the balloons and I swear to you, for me it meant that (Colby) was going to go up. Up to heaven."
Pixar officials declined to comment on the story or name the employees involved. But a family friend had the following to say about the Pixar worker: "He couldn't have been nicer. His eyes were just welled up."
