The coveted number one movie of the weekend honors was once again denied to Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out which came in second to Jurassic World. Again. Of course, if you can’t win at the game, redefine the rules. So hurray, Inside Out is the highest grossing ORIGINAL film (not franchise film, ahem, Jurassic Park, I mean […]

Variety reports that Disney plans to release a third Cars feature film and a sequel to The Incredibles. The announcement was made during a shareholders meeting.

I’ll admit the first three minutes went right over my head, but from then on I got excited with the possibilities. One step closer to blurring the lines (visually) between computer generated and hand drawn animation. I hope someone is getting a sizable Christmas bonus.

For the first time since 2005, Pixar will not release a feature film next year.

From the Huffington Post: Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur” is due out in theaters in nine months, but that apparently hasn’t stopped Pixar chief John Lasseter from tinkering under the film’s hood.

Pixar’s Merida character from the feature film Brave is officially a Disney Princess, but that created a controversy when Disney debuted a 2D image of the new princess.

With the release of the “Monsters Inc” prequel, “Monsters University” next summer, Disney/Pixar has rolled out an official Monsters University website that has all the typical content of a real university: news, a store, information for students, faculty, admission, campus life, etc. Monsters Inc. is one of my favorite Pixar films and I’m looking forward […]

Finding Nemo will be back in September and Monsters Inc. in December as Disney/Pixar re-releases the films to theaters in 3D.

Deadline.com is reporting that Finding Nemo writer/director Andrew Stanton will be producing a sequel to the famed lost fish. I’m told he’s now officially come aboard the Finding Nemo sequel and has a concept the studio loves. Pixar continues to not be helpful on this, as they don’t comment on development. It’s understandable why Disney […]
