Haha, thanks you all, it really makes me feel good knowing I have your support and praise. 
I still have to get that ‘surprise’ ready, but it’ll likely be up tomorrow.
Oh wow, even as I was reading your post I was starting to feel panicky. 
Thank goodness you managed to go somewhere else for your 50th viewing, and congratulations on seeing it so many times! I look forward to this ‘surprise’ you’ve got in store for us. 
Congratulations!
I guess I can call myself lucky if I manage to scrape 10 viewings, but 50 - this is soooo awesome!
Can’t wait for the surprise to be revealed…
It’s here people, the fruits of my arduous, novice movie-editing and filming labor have formed this:

Sent it to all the Pixarians I follow on Twitter, addressing it to Pixar.
Now, I’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Enjoy!
Awesome video! I laughed so much I got tears in my eyes.
I seriously hope the folks at Pixar will enjoy that crazy video of yours (and your drawings - MO looks stunning, btw.) and that your dream will come true.
P.S.
Thanks for the greetings! 
P.P.S.
How was the cake?
ffdude: To quote that kid on the tricycle from The Incredibles: “That was totally wicked!” Bravo!
I’ve taken the initiative to start a full-on campaign for this video on Twitter. If you are a Twitter user, please retweet this to all the Pixarians (as many as you like). If you don’t know the @names of the Pixarians, see this thread: Pixarians on Twitter
Here’s what to retweet:
[Pixarians’ @names here] RT: @lvl27_Cubone: bit.ly/WgtoM For all you guys in E-Ville
Go on and support our #1 Up fanatic!
Oh my gosh Phileas, you’re seriously amazing, I didn’t expect that at all. I’m absolutely flattered by your support, thank you so much.
Pixar Planet, I love all of you guys, and I do want to thank all of you for everything. This place is as close to perfect as I’ve ever experienced.
That was a wonderful video you put together! A nice, sincere statement about your love of Pixar. I hope as many Pixarians as possible view your video! I’ve RTed Phileas’ message.
Oh, and thanks for the mention
Oh wow, ffdude1906. To say your love of Pixar comes across in that video is an understatement. I hope the people at Pixar watch it in their masses and that you get some kind of a reply from them! It was great seeing how your art skills have improved, and I loved the surprise finale.
Very touching video, ffdude! I’m sure the Pixarians will appreciate it. The ending was unexpected but really funny. Good luck on getting to Pixar and congrats again!
And thanks for the mention. That was nice. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In

Thank you all again, and thanks to the people re-tweeting for me on twitter, I really appreciate it. The only Pixarian who’s replied to me about it so far is Lee, talking about the cake, but I’m still hoping for someone to say something! A few of my followers and you guys on here have been really supportive of this, and I really can’t thank you enough for it. That’s totally awesome, makes me feel a bit less nervous about doing this whole thing.
Excuse the double post, but now it’s starting to get insane.
Got replies from Lee, Michael Fredrickson (his comment was particularly flattering) Cat Hicks, and a few other Pixarians. HOWEVER, I found this tweet today.
From animator Lindsay VanderGalien, she’s been making a bit of a big deal about the vid (WOW!) and she tweeted me this.
@lvl27_Cubone Chris watched all 10 mins of your video. Thankyou so much for supporting Up & our studio. Good luck @ school! Keep us UPdated!
The re-tweet
Now THIS is a Pixar fan heh. RT: @lvl27_Cubone: bit.ly/WgtoM For all you guys in E-Ville!
And the big one.
@lvl27_Cubone The video is going around the studio this morning
I can’t breathe. Oh my god.
I also got an E-Mail from Michael M (not sure what the last name is) asking how far I am from Emeryville. This is getting absolutely insane. hyperventilates
Do you think they’re gonna like, invite you over or something? That’d be awesome. You’re famous now, ffdude1906!
Fingers crossed, ffdude1906…
You should be proud of yourself ffdude. Look how your dedication and love for Pixar is paying off.
Very awesome, ffdude! I thought it was really cool how you included so many of the PP members in the vid. Very cool, and thaks for the mention.
Insanely awesome repsonse from Pixar, man. That is just so ridicuosuly cool that they tweeted you, and now it’s cricling the actual studio. Plus, someone asked how close you are to Emeryville? Insane. I can only imagine how much you ust be freaking out now. I can’t wait to see what else happeens with this vid. Way to go, fffdude.
I have to ask, how did the cake taste?
Haha, yes Doc, I am very much freaking out right now. I think I may have found a personal connection to one of the employees now, i.e. I have someone to guide me through this more or less. Might not, but maybe. This entire day has been mind-numbing, it’s incredible. I received an e-mail from an employee, he not only said the video was going around, but it was the talk of the studio. I’m losing my mind.
And by the way, the cake was delicious. Mmmmm,…
Pardon for the double post, but I got something in the mail today.
No, not my reply from Pete, still waiting on that. (as the video says, he’s a busy guy!) However, the gracious and kind Michael Frederickson (interesting he has a similar last name to Carl’s, hehe) took it upon himself to address me personally and sent me some Up swag directly from the studio (bought from the studio store!) Needless to say, I’m flattered, and euphoric. I knew it was coming, but it’s awesome now that it’s here.
First, the box.

Then, an awesome Up golden book (quick read, but very neat!)

An Up metal flask (I thought these were UK exclusive! SWEET!

And, to top it all off, he was nice enough to include the bag from the studio store! This is really cool.

All in all, I’m incredibly pleased. He included a personal note as well (on Pixar-stamped paper!). It’s all very awesome, thought I’d share with all my Pixar buds on here!
Wow, ffdude1906! All I can say is I’m very jealous. It’s amazing just how thoughtful Michael Frederickson is! And yes, that’s a very interesting coincidence…
Now that’s cool! Gotta love the folks at Pixar.
