Although 'Monsters University' reunites much of the original cast of 'Monsters, Inc.,' plenty of new voices have been added to the mix, making this one of the most star-studded Pixar movie to date. Heck, it's DreamWorks-esque how many big names are associated with this movie. The voice actors involved have been slowly revealed over the past few months, but a few more were announced today, including John Krasinski and Nathan Fillion.

We’re still a little apprehensive after all of yesterday’s April Fool’s shenanigans, so we didn’t believe this was real at first. It does seem as though Pixar really will be making a sequel to ‘Finding Nemo,’ called ‘Finding Dory.’ The movie will focus on Ellen’s character, the forgetful Dory, and should be released in 2015. As [...]

NASA revealed their new spacesuit – the Z-1 Prototype Spacesuit and Portable Life Support System (PLSS) 2.0 – and we can’t help but think this new outfit was inspired by ‘Toy Story’s’ own Buzz Lightyear.

Balloonist Recreates 'Up' in Real Life

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:55:15 +0000

In the tear-jerker animated film 'Up,' a home is lifted into the sky by a cluster of party balloons. While it all looks great in Pixar's beautiful animated style, it doesn't seem like it would be something you could pull off in real life.

But, in fact, cluster ballooning is a thing, and Jonathan Trappe may well be the world's leading cluster balloonist.

Disney Plans To Re-Release More Classic Movies in 3D

Lori Crofford — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:26:54 +0000

Disney revamped The Lion King and put it in 3D and re-released the movie into theaters for two weeks. However, in those 18 days it made nearly 79 million dollars. So with that said, are they doing this to appeal to an entirely new audience or are they doing it for money. It is a fine line, but I'm guessing it is a money maker for them, and in this world money is everything.

Lori Crofford — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 14:59:01 +0000

One of my favorite Disney/Pixar movies is Monsters Inc. In fact it is my favorite Disney/Pixar movie, "Kitty". That is why I am so excited that Mike, Sully, and Boo will all be back ( or at least I hope they are all back, but I don't think that is the case).
