Well done, intense, and heartfelt

This film is incredible. It's a heart wrenching story about a man who needs to prove his worth for life. against all odds this man who weighs only 39 pounds travels across the entire united states to show the doctor who said he'd only live til 6 thats he's still alive still here with enough love and guts to make his way through anything the world has to offer. He's a hopeless romantic and a talented animator. He shows the world that anything can be done with heart and drive.... and love. This is the tale of a man who will affect the world when his story is told to the masses. Seek this treasure out. I wouldn't be surprised to see this beautiful film leading the way at this years academy awards. I love this film and all who see it will fall in love as well.
