It's been heavy on the Pixar around here these past few weeks, what with a review, a preview, a quiz, a poll, and news of box office successes. Now we can pile on more Pixar goodness with the apparent confirmation that Monsters, Inc. will be getting a sequel!

Before Wall-E hit theaters last year I asked you what your favorite Pixar movie was, and at that time there were eight to choose from (and Finding Nemo won!). Now with Wall-E having won all kinds of awards and Up being such a smash hit with audiences of all ages, I wonder if you'd change your vote.
What do you think?

Pixar's Up had a great weekend at the box office, coming in at No. 1 with a whopping $68.2 million. That makes Up the third biggest Pixar debut ever (out of ten) behind The Incredibles and Finding Nemo.

It's a Pixar kind of week around here what with a quiz and an Up review. Now, to add to the Pixar madness we've got a cute little teaser for the third Toy Story movie, opening June 18, 2010. Story-wise, nothing is revealed in the video, it's mostly just Buzz trying to one-up Woody on the Toy Story 3 sign — but oh, golly, it is so adorable.

From the press notes handed out at my screening of Up, I learned that Walt Disney believed that for every laugh there should be a tear, a sort of Newton's third law of entertainment. If he were around to see this movie, which upholds that "law" to a T, I have a feeling Mr. Disney's head would swell with pride — and perhaps take him up into the air like one of the many colorful balloons in the movie. See?

In celebration of Pixar's 10th feature film, Up, I've put together a quiz about the company and the excellent movies it's been making for years. Pixar has won all kinds of awards and has gotten huge Hollywood names to voice characters. Hopefully you'll enjoy this walk down memory lane as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

I was just talking about the adorableness of Pixar's newest movie Up when I was lucky enough to catch a 45-minute preview screening of it at WonderCon. Now everyone can watch a full-length trailer that sheds a little more light on the premise than the earlier teaser did — or does it? We already knew the story's about a curmudgeonly little old man named Carl (voiced by Edward Asner) who rigs up his house with balloons and flies away.

I enjoy learning pretty much anything related to the wizardry that goes on at Pixar which is why I jumped at the chance to chat with director Pete Docter and producer Jonas Rivera at WonderCon all about Pixar's forthcoming film, Up.
We spoke directly after the two men previewed clips from the movie to a large and enthusiastic crowd and later that evening I watched a special screening of the first 45 minutes of the film. I don't want to give anything away because I know how much I enjoyed my first peek, but I'll say there is much more to this movie than the trailer implies.
