Pixar Intro Parody

Liam — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 23:23:32 +0000

Everytime we sit down to watch a Pixar film we always see the iconic intro with the lamp bouncing casually on the letter ‘i’. He squishes it, looks around to the screen, and then we enjoy 2 hours of Pixar magic. This has been the norm for years, however College Humor have decided to make their own version of the Pixar intro which takes a more dark and serious tone. Watch their video below:

Edgar Wright talks Ant Man and Pixar

Liam — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 23:10:02 +0000

After it was announced that Disney would be consuming Marvel for $4 billion just over a week ago Entertainment Weekly dropped a miniature bombshell by saying that “Pixar is said to already be eyeballing an Ant-Man movie.” Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright has been developing his Ant Man movie for a few years now, however it took the back seat while he worked on Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Could an animated Ant Man move forward now that Pixar and Marvel both suckle on the same teet? Edgar Wright gave his answer to CHUD:

“I just spoke to Kevin Feige for the first time since I wrapped and we are meeting this week to discuss the next phase. It’s been something that I have worked on for over five years on and off. There’s even a treatment I wrote that dates even further back than that.
It’s true that the character is not considered one of the Marvel brand leaders and that is precisely what excites me about it. I want to make a film inside the Marvel Universe that is something a little different; a genre film within the superhero genre so to speak.
The news that Pixar is involved is not wholly accurate and a little premature to comment on. I love Pixar’s work more than anyone and indeed would love to collaborate with them. I’m not sure though that they would want to do a ’shrinking’ film as a Pixar animation – since Toy Story and A Bug’s Life already cover this territory to some extent. Am guessing that someone just speculated on the ‘bug’ angle and tried to put two and two together.
My spin on Ant Man is very different than a straight superhero origin – and very much live action. At some point in this century, I intend to stop talking about it and make the damn thing.”

Pixar are great, Edgar Wright is a cool director and Ant Man is…well I don’t really know, I’m not really familiar with the character. But everyone involved seems cool and great so whether they decide to go down the Pixar route or continue down the live-action road I’m sure the movie will be interesting. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids has been hogging the shrinking genre for too long and it’s time it got a modern update.

Toy Story 3 trailer arrives!

Liam — Fri, 29 May 2009 17:16:40 +0000

We got the preview yesterday and today we have the real thing in HD! I like how they include most of the characters, and that they haven’t changed one bit since we last saw them a decade ago. However, I want to know where Bo Peep and her sheep are. They seem to to be the only ones missing. Anyway, here’s the teaser!

Up Teaser Trailer

The teaser trailer for Pixar’s Up has ballooned its way online.

If you are currently thinking ‘What the hell does he mean ballooned? Is he some kind of but job who has a balloon fetish or something’ then fear not, all will be explained if you watch the video below.

In this “coming of old age” story, a seventysomething hero, alongside his clueless wilderness ranger sidekick, travels the globe, fighting beasts and villains, and eating dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon.

Wall-E Angers Fat People

Liam — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 21:10:32 +0000

I thought I’d never see the day that a Pixar family animation would cause controversy, however it seems today is that day.

WALL-E has garnered rave reviews for its satire on consumer culture, in which future humans are depicted as a group of obese gluttons who never leave their padded floating arm chairs.
But one group is not amused – the swelling ranks of fat pride groups, who believe the film propagates anti-obesity hysteria comparable with the quest for the perfect body by the eugenics movement in Nazi Germany.
The anti WALL-E crusade began on the internet. Rachel Richardson of the Coalition of Fat Rights Activists (Cofra), used her blog, “The F-Word”, to object that the film “singles out and targets obese people as the primary cause of mankind’s demise.”

Dear angry fat people, if you spent as much time exercising as you do getting pissed over a kids film then you would be a healthy and less fat.

That is all.

I Don’t Know How Much More Of This I Can Take…

Liam — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:10:47 +0000

…IT’S SO ADORABLE!

Here’s a three and a half minute clip from WALL-E, featuring an extended look at one of the scenes shown in the trailers.

Some have said that this might be a case of “cute overload,” but I don’t think that’s true… Pixar has a habit of being cute, and this only adds to that. Plus, this gives a good idea about how they’re handling the dialogue in this movie, which I have really been wondering about.

Check it out!

New WALL-E Pics!

A batch of new pictures has surfaced over at Cinema Blend. All they do is add to the cuteness factor of the movie… what more could we want?!

Coolness: Wall-E Has Been In Past Pixar Movies!

Liam — Tue, 20 May 2008 22:52:36 +0000

Pixar are known for putting Easter Eggs in their movies, but I never knew they were planned 15 years in advance!

Just watch this video Facko made and all will be revealed:

Pixar are officially great. We may have thought it before, but now it is proven. These people plan their movies decades in advance, which is probably the reason they are all amazing. Unlike these other movies (Shark Tale, Barnyard etc) which are just other studios trying to compete. Bring on Up, Toy Story 3 and all the other movies they have been planning since the 90’s.

Update: Could be fake. But enjoy it nonetheless.

Warning: Adorable Overload!

Isn’t there a website out there that features pictures of puppies and kittens and bunnies and things like that, and all you can do is say AAAWWW and make squeaky baby noises at the screen?

Well, these Wall-E spots should be on there!

I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a Pixar movie since Finding Nemo!
