To be able to evoke genuine, deep emotion at the beginning of the movie, before the audience has a chance to connect with the characters, is truly amazing. The simple piano music adds so much to it, too. Just beautiful...and heart-wrenching. This speaks to the genius of Pixar in their unequaled storytelling ability.

My 12 year old looked over at me and her face was wet. She said, "I wasn't ready for that." You are right Mike, THE best love story in a less than 3 minute bit.

Having survived the "fun with infertility" game, my wife and I pretty much wiped out during this segment. My favorite movie of the year.

I wasn't at all prepared for it going into the movie, and was nearly dehydrated by the time it was over. I thought this whole sequence was really worth the whole movie.

I will check this out. I just finished a D.Min class on contemporary preaching, which was great. Also, what do you think of the Post Liberal approach?
