As far as incredible videos go, the man behind the YouTube channel whoiseyevan, Ivan Guerrero, has to be credited and praised for a few of them.

Ivan is a filmmaker looking to score a gig in the industry, and to prove his talents he likes to take popular films and create what have been dubbed “premakes” — remakes that are done as if they were made years before the actual films ever existed.

You might remember seeing one he did for the Star Wars sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, right here at Geeks of Doom last year, and now there’s another new one for the wonderful Disney/Pixar animated feature, Up. The video presents Up as a live-action Disney movie from decades ago in 1965, and it’s absolutely brilliant work.

You can see Ivan’s new Up premake by clicking on over to the other side now, and be sure to visit his YouTube page, where you can find many more premakes.

Up

Orange County’s OC Register has a story on a young girl named Colby Curtin — a ten-year old who had been battling a rare form of vascular cancer for three years now. The young girl was a big movie fan, and while seeing the movie Monsters vs. Aliens, she saw a preview for Pixar’s Up and declared it a must-see.

Unfortunately, before getting to see the movie, her condition worsened, and her family attempted to obtain a wheelchair so they could get her to the theater. The wheelchair didn’t show up in time, as Colby’s condition had declined her to immobility. In a desperate attempt, and with no more options, a friend of the family began calling Pixar, making up names to try and get the automated phone system to recognize someone that they could reach out to. Eventually this worked and the family was able to explain their situation.

When Pixar agreed to try and get the movie to her, the news was passed on to the girl’s mother, who asked her daughter if she could hang on just a little more. The girl simply replied “I’m ready [to die], but I’m going to wait for the movie.”
