Members willsellout Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 How incredibly bittersweet. I can't help but have mixed emotions about the whole thing, but overall it's really sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funkee1 Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 Those Pixar guys are awesome. Too bad the girl died, but what an awesome story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Death Hands Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 {censored}, man. That's cool of them. I like seeing big corps do things like this. Hopefully they didn't do it just to attract that sort of attention, though. That's the flipside of it for me. I can't help but think that if I was diagnosed with a fatal disease, someone would break in on me and beat me to death with a ballbat. I guess it's quicker... Now THAT is bittersweet.

Members bleepo Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 Pixar officials declined to comment on the story or name the employees involved. this is what tells me it wasn't a PR stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lokidecat Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 Aw man, she died just 7 hours after watching it? That is indeed very cool of Pixar though. Even "The Ring" was seven days. (damn.. probably too soon.) Very awesome of Pixar, though. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zamfir Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 They probably did this for the positive press, but in this case I'm more than happy to give it to them.http://www.ocregister.com/articles/pixar-up-movie-2468059-home-show.htm Man...they didn't comment on it at all, didn't mug for a microphone or camera, or even send out a press statement. They just took a phone call and sent out an employee with the DVD for her inside what, 24 hours? I gotta say, and I really don't mean to piss you off or anything, but I'm a bit sad when we second-guess the company's motives in this instance - I don't see how they could have been any more respectful or take any better action to show their compassion. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 this is what tells me it wasn't a PR stunt. That was my take on it too. As Brake can attest, I work in a place known for it's generosity and that really cares about it's customers. We may not have done anything as over the top as this, but we do what we can when we can. Then again, I did spearhead a project at work that despite working for a manufacturer of MI goods, we were able to expend a little bit of lab time doing what we do best and that helped out cancer research of all things. That was the highlight of my work year for sure, things like that just don't happen every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ezstep Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 this is what tells me it wasn't a PR stunt. It's called "class." We don't see it much anymore, especially from politicians and big corporations. My hat's off to Pixar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
