When I grow up I want to work for Pixar... LOL Great post I really enjoyed it. :)

Thanks for this post I really spend a nice time watching it , their early animations looked pretty decent i wonder what software did they used to make them.

I've always loved the incredible detail of pixar, like how they get something as simple as hair blowing, and funny mannerisms/body language. :)

It awesome to see the progression, they've pushed a lot of boundries in what can be done in 3D animation, and in every film it seems they push it even further.

definitely my dream job (:

Still enjoy Finding Nemo more than most....such a special, heatwarming tale.

The difference between the first Toy Story and Monsters Inc. are already remarkable. Was reviewing these movies lately and figured it out. Can't wait to see Toy Story 3 and see these characters again and with a much better animation.

Pixar is the epitomy of masterful storytelling and great animation.

haha same as heybird :P

Dear Abduzeedo. Please concentrate on tutorials and interviews. These post of random web clippings are just filler IMO.

Nice, i saw a tv show about it last week, i guess was on Cinemax.

Fabulous! \0/

One Man Band shall forever be my favorite of the short films series. :D

Pixar es definitivamente lo máximo en calidad téctica, pero principalmente en calidad creativa.

You forget to list Geri's Chess Game, a Pixar award winning animation back in 1997:

In Cars and The Incredibles they got a HUGE progress in animation and long action sequences, along with new rendering techniques. The Incredibles specially, from all them, has one of the most incredible scenes ever in 3D animation (the 100 Mile Dash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXFKoEeloKw) because of the huge number of elements and speed treatment.

Pixar only get better and better

Huge massive big fan of Pixar - as a studio they've never let us down and each film screams watch me, buy me, LOVE me... :)

Wall- E's my favo for a possibly unusual reason (came up today in chatting funnily enough). I'm the father of an autistic 8 year old and, when people ask what that's like I always start with 'well, have you seen Wall-E?' It's a wonderful explanation of the life of an autist and communicates much more than the story seems at first glance.

But hey, distraction aside Pixar - beautiful artwork and creations. Looking forward to seeing Up, as I'm in the UK and we have to wait til Oct.

Nice...

I couldn't agree more :)

Wall-E is absolutely the best pixar move ever.
And Presto is THE best short film by pixar :)

I was literally rolling around the floor when i saw Presto in the cinema.

Nice article :)

Here you can find the movie of cloudy http://animatie.blog.nl/pixar/2009/06/11/bekijk-partly-cloudy-online

wow, this is my faw topic

I love Pixar and this post is wonderful... I would love to work there... :)

Pixar is a dream factory. They manage to make movies that are interesting and entertaining for children and adults, visually stunning and extremely well written. They don't mess with morals and they never need to do "more" to catch my attention.
I was quite scared when I heard Disney was about to put her big finger in that awsome machinery and I really tought I would have to say good-bye to Pixar as I knew it. Hopefully, my nightmare didn't come true.

I love pixar! Nice article :)

Great post
Thanks

Brings back such great memories. Keep an eye out for a flick called 'Planet 51'. Pixar-esque!

PIXAR!!!! They are always BEST!

Wall-e i definatly the best pixar movie that they've made, however i think that pixars first animated sequence is the bouncing lamp that they show in the intro of their movies.

Pixar is such an inspiration for me. Their animations have great details - from the physics involved in a monster factory, how fish swim and even the gestures of French chefs. Beyond those, there's clearly a lot of heart put in their story.

Up was recently released in theaters here. Saw it, cried, love it. Sad that it could beat Coraline as an animated film.

Nice post! Pixar are fantastic, looking forward to seeing their latest UP.

this post is "CLASS"

I love the short films! Thanks to remind me them!

Awesome article, I love Pixar!!

And let's not forget what's soon to come... Summer 2010 Toy Story 3 :D

There´s a Toy Story 2 picture in the Toy Story part, yeah!

big up for pixar!

¡¡Partly cloudy is not a Pixar Movie!!

Storytelling and creativity is essential.

Do You Know Studio Ghibli?.
They are great storytellers and creatives like Pixar but in 2D animation.

u forgot the short story with the red unicycle...im a pizxar fanatic! i hope to work for them when im older...i alwas love seeing pixars legendary progression from selling 3d software to doctors and scientists to making the greatest movies of all time!

the incredibles is a really good movie...

One of the tools they use is called RenderMan. Very powerful, helps them create their animation much more realistic.
