Feel good movie of the year

[jethrien]

Recently finished Nation by Terry Pratchett. Good book, typical Pratchett.

I had a dream last night that Disney/Pixar made a prequel to the book. It was a heart-warming tale about a boy living on an island in the South Pacific. The boy needs to go to a neighboring island, build a canoe by himself, and come back to prove that he is a man. The movie was about him and his zany friends having wacky adventures while they try to get him to the island. It was a great movie, bouncy and happy, and since I was on the team that made it and everyone loved it, it was an awesome dream. I woke up happy.

Except that, in the first chapter of the book, a tsunami washes over the home island while the boy is on his way back in his canoe, and kills everyone he knows, down to the dogs. That's the entire premise of the book. So my entire dream was filling in all the details of the wonderful happy family and friends and pets who all died in a horrible natural disaster, and left the kid alone and traumatized.

Wow, subconcious. WTF?

That seems like a logical follow-up to "Up"...
