Pixar’s shorts and movies are the stuff of legend. Gloriously colourful, often full of humour, and infinitely watchable, even if it does feel weird if you don’t have a kid. The same goes for its concept art, which Pixar has been showing off for its incoming awesome-looking movies.
This gorgeous image of a dinosaur with cute-looking kid riding atop his head is from the incoming The Good Dinosaur: “What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?” Anyone want a pet dinosaur, then?
This one looks a heck of lot like some of the levels in Littlebig Planet to me, but anyway, it’s apparently a “wholly original Pixar Animation Studios film that delves into the vibrant holiday of Día de los Muertos.” Right then. Scheduled for release in 2016.
Finally, we’ve got what looks like a view into an excitable kid’s mind. A scary thought: “the inventive new film will take you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind.” Sounds a bit like Being John Malkovich to me, but the unnamed film will hit the cinemas in 2015.
What’s your favourite Pixar film to date? Can you even beat Toy Story? [ComingSoon via TotalFilm]
















The last image is from the film currently called “The Inside out”.
Also in production are Toy Story 4 (Date TBC) and Finding Nemo 2 (2016).
Best pixar movie? It’s tough – Toy Story 2, Up, The Incredibles. Also, some of their shorts are fab.
Finding Nemo 2? But they already found him toward the end of the first film.
He could go missing again; or Nemo’s child (also called Nemo) goes missing on a family holiday to the reef.
Yeah this is my rationing, Nemo 2 being Nemo Jr. or the 2nd.
Nemo is a teenager in the next outing, with Albert Brooks and Ellen Degeneres returning as Marlin and Dory respectively. As to the films plot? No idea.
Toy Story 2 was ok.
Without a shadow of a doubt.. Monsters Inc is the best Pixar film. The concept is so clever. Whoever dreamt up the scene with the doors in the warehouse is a genius.
Having said that, they rarely make a dud film. Nemo and Toy Story are both up there with Monsters.
“a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind.”
Wasn’t that the premise of the video game, Psychonauts?
As for favourite pixar film. I love Toy Story but Monsters Inc has me laughing and crying every time I watch it, brilliant characters. Still yet to see Wreck-it-Ralph though.
I’m looking forward to Wreck-It-Ralph too. But it isn’t a Pixar movie.
A Bug’s Life.
As Pixar did a heck of a lot of research on insects and the micro environment to make beautiful imagery (this was 1998!) and combined it with your fantastic Pixar storyline.
This was when Pixar was only releasing films every couple of years. Toy Story was the “mainstream proof-of-concept”, and Bug’s Life took it to the next level in digital animation.
The “outtakes” at the end of bugs life are really funny too
Definitely – almost the best part of the film. I was hoping that was going to be a tradition of Pixar films, but alas this was not the case.
