I just read and enjoyed your article in Christian Research Journal, "The Wisdom of Pixar." I couldn't agree more that the Pixar movies are not only fun but provide a wonderful basis for engaging the culture. I have often thought about the redemptive themes in these movies. It may or may not be intentional but God's truth is woven through these entertaining and thought-provoking films. I hope your article accomplishes its aim and encourages many to use films like Up as a non-threatening conversation starter.
