So Up was so bad and it caused the girl so much pain to watch that she was "ready to die" and then her body just gave up?

I thought it was a pretty fun movie, myself. When did 10 year olds turn into such movie snobs?

Wait... Did I misunderstand the story?

Wow. Someone from a company acted like a human for once. Honestly, you can tell by the way Pixar movies are made that they care about us. I'm not going to pretend I know if they pay their employees properly or run a clean business or whatnot, but as far as their films go it seems they actually like their customers/audience. Way to be.

@MJDeviant: I don't buy it. Yeah, maybe there was a handful of good people in Pixar that did this, but from a business perspective they hit the jackpot with this.

I don't mean to be cynical, but before we get too emotional and assume positive things about an entire business.

@MJDeviant: Er.. You do realize that their marketing department is paid to make you think that, right?

@SJRNWT: This wasn't PIXAR's action, it was one of their employee's, yes the publicity was great but the girl was their motivation. The world isn't completely soulless.

@Toastie: The girl's story was forwarded to Pixar "officials" who ordered the employee to fly out with a DVD of the movie. Of course, this was a very nice thing for Pixar to do, but there was likely some PR motivation behind it. Who tipped the media about this story? I doubt that the girl's parents took the trouble to publicize this.

@mat1cs is a gentleman and a scholar: I don't know if I'd use the word "cute" to describe a story involving a girl dying at 10 years old.

I think I understood what you were trying to say.

@dimsum4u: I'm astounded at the level of quality that PIXAR stands up to, and how it filters well beyond their theatrical releases. I maintain that this is one of the absolute best animation studios on earth.
