It is always a treat to see artists’ work. One of my favorite parts of when a new Pixar film is released is having a chance to look through the consistently gorgeous art books that accompany the film. Although the fluid animation seen in the finished product is a visual delight, there is something special that a still image can convey. Beyond artists at the studio, there are talented freelance artists aplenty who often lend a distinct voice to the characters they draw. A new collaboration has presented us with a collection of beautiful new Pixar prints – take a look at them here! You can see here for more detail about 3D printing. 3D рrіntіng саn be ѕееn as the most cost-effective ѕоlutіоn іf уоu’rе lооkіng tо рrоduсе prototypes оr еvеn ѕmаll productions.

Watch: A Close Look At Pixar Fest’s Fireworks Show
Yesterday, I wrote in-depth about the centerpiece of Pixar Fest, “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular.” My experience watching the show was an incredible one, from the opening of the show where Buzz Lightyear flies over Sleeping Beauty Castle, to the sequence where Coco music, much like for the film, almost made me cry in front of strangers.

On the eve of the opening of Pixar Fest, I had the opportunity to participate in a video interview where I was able to dive deep into what makes the show so special. [Read more…]

Review: ‘Inside Out’ Is Pixar’s Best Film Since ‘Toy Story’
In just under 30 years of existence, Pixar has amassed an incredible amount of goodwill from audiences around the world, giving the studio more respect than any other film studio in Hollywood.

Even though both Brave and Monsters University were quality films, this year’s spectacular Inside Out will be the film that reminds viewers that Pixar has no equal in the film business. Read my spoiler-free review after the break! [Read more…]
