Great marketing for Pixar
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?


Prob gave the girl cancer too
Fucking Pixar!

Awww, what a touching sad story...especially considering the context of the movie (also pretty emotional at times). It does warm my heart she did get to have her dieing wish though, but it doesn't make the context any less touching.

Well, touching story = attention/money. That's sadly how it works. 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.

Wrong.
If the new's is on ABC maybe you have a point. But no it's not.
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.



he only said it results in attention / money. Not that that was the intention of the company. Like they were looking for a sick kid to market on?

Sure, there is no reason to why they wouldn't be nice. But think about it; who would spread these news out? Would Pixar not benefit from having this spread out? It's obvious they would take advantage of such an event for some publicity, and even if it was initiated by some people out of good will, it was most likely exploited by marketing people for some goodwill amongst the public. In the best case we probably wouldn't have heard of this at all.
Well, all of this really doesn't matter. The girl sadly died, and got her last will carried out. Personally I don't like reading about these kind of things because of the things most likely going around in the background, which makes me wish things like this wouldn't be published at all, rather being goodwill acts existing in the background.
1000 at least.

an employee of the Emeryville-based company arrived at Colby's home with a DVD copy of the movie, which was later ripped and uploaded to the internet by the girl before she died

Yea, lets shut the family up and keep it all hush hush so that Sushiman gets to feel better.

Anyone who thinks this was a "marketing move" given what we read needs to jump off a cliff since obviously life is so cynical and ugly that its not worth living for them. You're not cool because you're cynical on the internet.

I finally found a place to watch online and the beginning was depressing for Carl. =[ I know it's been said, but man the music matched well and really enhanced the emotions they were trying to convey. That girl died happy (for cancer patients).
