Sad story but very happy that Pixar responded so fast.

This should make there reputation even higher.

Rest In Peace Colby. Sad

Amazing story

Though I wonder why Pixar decided not to comment? Huh

Strange to me, I could see them not mentioning the employee's name but to just not comment at all? Well whatever, still a great story!

Becasue the story will be turned around by the media and be all about Pixar. This way the family is the story. Also, saying nothing in this case says even more than a headline and a front page interview.

I thought the same question, why they didn't comment but I thought that it was just to keep away from the story also.

True heart felt kindness and an act of caring doesn't need to be broadcast all over the world by companies/people just seeking a headline. They did it out of compassion for a fellow human being that had a dieing wish to see one of their movies that they would otherwise have never seen.

This simple act and Pixar's not wanting to comment or make a PR campaign out of it shows the truly caring nature of it's management and employees. This is probably why they are so successful and why their movies are so appealing to so many people.

My two cents worth..... Wink

"I have a place where dreams are born, And time is never planned. It’s not on any chart, You must find it with your heart."

Albert Einstein - "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Martin Luther King Jr. - “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.”

Mark Twain - “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

What w wonderful and truly noble act. It is things like this that help us all keep faith on the goodness of human nature and show that there is still a heart beating somewhere that cares.
