Colby Curtin Dies Of Vascular Cancer After Watching Movie ‘Up’ (Photo!)
A 10 year-old girl named Colby Curtin, who was diagnosed with vascular cancer back in 2005, died just seven hours after being granted her final wish to watch Pixar’s new movie “Up”.
Colby had seen previews and was fascinated with the film, which tells the story of a grumpy old man who, after his wife’s death, tries to fulfill their joint dream of visiting South America by tying thousands of balloons to his house and floating away.
The 10 year-old was unfortunately too sick to go to the theater so a family friend called both Pixar and Disney, which owns the animation studio, and Pixar quickly sent an employee to Colby’s house with a DVD copy of the movie for a private screening.
The mom said, “When I watched it, I had really no idea about the content of the theme of the movie. I just know that word ‘Up’ and all of the balloons and I swear to you, for me it meant that (Colby) was going to go up. Up to heaven.” R.I.P. Colby!!
