A visit to the Pixar Studio Store is essential if one manages to pass through the entrance of the Emeryville-based studio.

by Leave a Comment

Following the Cars 2 panel that was held on Monday, members of the press and D23 members were invited to take a look at several of the upcoming Cars 2-related merchandise we can expect to see in the coming months. As Disney stated, more than 300 unique products that tie-in with the film will hit retail. One of those will be the Lightning McQueen Alive Car, which Mattel describes as a true breakthrough in technology for a toy – a car that can move its mouth, eyes, drive around all on its own, and still fit in the palm of your hand.

A Look At Toy Story 3 Crew T-Shirts

by 1 Comment

We have seen glimpses of Toy Story 3 crew shirts, as director Lee Unkrich has been seen wearing various designs. One of the more notable t-shirt designs features a silhouette of Big Baby and was famously worn by Unkrich during a blogger event held by Pixar in 2010. Yesterday, the director set up a Facebook page and has already found a creative use for it, sharing the many different shirts that were created for the various departments involved on the animated film.

Below you will find a few of my favorites:

Editorial Dept.
Technical Dept.
Animation Dept.

My personal favorite is the crew shirt for the editorial department. Whoever designed that one deserves a medal. “Some assembly required” – brilliant. Once again, we have an example of the studio displaying creativity in a unique way.

Check out all of the t-shirts on Lee Unkrich’s Facebook page, as there are seven more to enjoy. Also make sure to “Like” the director’s page to stay connected to him!

Pixar Short Films Mystery Pin Collection

Once in a while, you have to buy yourself some presents too. A few weeks ago, I placed an order for some new limited edition Pixar Short Films collectible pins, and they arrived just in time for Christmas! Being unable to visit either Walt Disney World or Disneyland often (I live in New York City), I do not tend to pay attention to the Disney Parks exclusives that come out throughout the year. One day, however, Pixar veteran Jeff Pidgeon tweeted about the existence of some Pixar pins. My eyes grew wide with curiosity and I literally ran to place an order for some. Now, I did not sit by the door waiting for my order to arrive, but I was ecstatic when they did come in the mail. Check out some images of the packaging below. [Read more…]
