I know, I know. It’s not technically Pixar, but come on Lasseter, you’re turning into a bit of a hypocrite. Remember the John Lasseter that stormed into Disney when he took command and cancelled all the horrible direct-to-DVD sequels and spin-offs that were in production? Wha’ Happen?

Leandro Copperfield spent 11 days revisiting all of Pixar’s films, and then put together this mashup containing scenes from all of them. He did a great job, and the result is worth a gander if you’re a Pixar fan like me.
I think I need to revisit WALL-E sometime soon.
Now that Tophat Sasquatch is officially in business (formerly Saturday Morning Central, if you’re new), I can finally start reviewing the Blu-rays and DVDs that have been piling up over the past few weeks. The one I am probably most excited about is Toy Story 3.
I’m a huge Pixar nut, and the Toy Story trilogy practically defines my life as a movie fan. I saw the first in 1995 when I was just ten, and instantly fell in love with Pixar’s ability to tell stories (and this fancy new CGI thing). Toy Story 2 came a few years later and was one of the first movies I took my first niece to see. I think TS2 surprised everyone.
Fast forward eleven years and the Toy Story characters are back on the screen for the third and final part of the trilogy, this time helmed by Lee Unkrich.
Big news today out of the Licensing Expo. Disney has officially announced that Pete Docter’s next film will indeed be a sequel to Monsters Inc! They announced the film under secrecy, but I guess you just can’t trust anyone these days, because word got out immediately. I’m pretty happy about this because a) Monsters Inc. is one of my favorite Pixar films b) Pete Docter just proved he is improving with each picture with his masterpiece Up.
Most likely this will come out in 2012 or 2013, but I can’t wait!

I saw Up last night at Midnight, and my mind is still reeling. I’m a huge Pixar Fanboy and have been ever since I saw Toy Story as a ten year old. Their dedication to story is incredible, and their films are all wonderful.
I’ll try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible. I’ll assume you’ve seen the previews.
I can never decide on a favorite Pixar film because they’re each so perfect in their own ways, but Monsters Inc. definitely has a certain charm that I always want to go back and see again. Thats why my wife and I were super excited to see Up, Pete Docter’s follow up to Monsters Inc.
