FEEDBACK
While it was interesting reading John Horn’s story about how the creators of the movie “Up” developed the plot of the movie (“Up, Up and Away,” May 10), he missed a very significant element of the production: The costar of the film is an overweight Asian American boy. So in addition to praising the studio for telling the story of a senior citizen (an often overlooked demographic of society), kudos should be given to Disney/Pixar for not shying away from using a person of color -- who also didn’t fit the ultra-thin model of attractiveness foisted upon us by the media -- to costar in their big budget film.
