Maybe If I had a vagina I also would be manipulated by this story. Kids die. It sucks. But why would I be sad if I don't even know this girl? | ||

Very sad story, though. I couldnt even read to the end, cuz I was feeling depressed right away  Nice of them to grant her this simple wish. May she rest in peace. | ||

I'm not good with stories about death and this one really gets to me. I'm pretty choked up right now and my eyes are kind of watering. | ||

I can't believe all the people are saying "OMG SMART MARKETING STRATEGY" I mean grow the fuck up. It's not like Pixar infected the girl with cancer knowing she'll ask for the movie. Geez, what the fukc is wrong with these people. Think of it this way, You own pixar, you're Pixar's president, there's this girl who's going to die that wanted to see your movie, and you have the power to make it happen. What will you think? No shit you send your guy over so she could see the movie I mean it's almost instinct, seriously | ||

Her dying wish being to see a movie doesn't make it any more tragic than other death happening daily in the world, no matter how cynical that view may be, but it's potential to be exploited for profit is greater than many other cases which may not be 'newsworthy'. And personally I find that more tragic. | ||

Seriously guys nowadays sees everything wrong, just seeing the stereotypes "omg big company = only care for profit = whatever they do is only for profit = they are evil = they can never just act out of kindness" Big company is made of people, and people are generally kind, there is no reason why they can't be nice. | ||
