WOOHOOO!

Today I got hold of the tickets for Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D (one for me and one for my little sister).
Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D will not be shown for the public, just for members only and they will only show the 3D version ONCE! – Yeah baby yeah

It’s like when you stand at the stage, looking at all of the people and you receive the Golden Globe/Oscar prize and say a few lines and at the same time trying not to burst into tears…, well almost haha.

I’ve been a Pixar fan as long as I can remember and I will always be a Pixar fan – The creations that the artists bring to life is just jaw dropping.

I just have to say it again – Wohoo I’ve got the TICKETS for Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D

Instead of just throwing the mail away I turn to you, my readers.
If you are a dad and have a kid in the age between 6-16 years old and you two are living in Scandinavia (because the audition is for the Scandinavian version of Toy Story 3) now is your chance.
If you two get lucky you will be the voice of one of the green army soldiers in the movie, doesn’t that sound cool?

Ok, so here is what you need to do:
Head over to Disney’s Toy Story 3 audition site here, register and follow the audition instructions.

Since I was a little kid I’ve always been a fan of the animated movies from Pixar. WALL·E one of Pixars creations is a character I really love. It amazes me how the animators could bring life into a equally squared trash compacting robot. When you look at WALL·E he expresses his feelings in a such way that you get pulled into his feelings and understand him.
That is a way of art I really respect – To bring life to a character and let him/her/it to “decide” it’s own path.
Animation and Creation (modeling) is just a small part of the entire pie. One other area which I think is very important as well is the music, without the music the entire film looses a part of it’s soul.

History
The amazing story of Pixar Animation Studios began during 1979 when it became one of the Graphics Groups of the computer division of Lucasfilm. During that year they hired Dr. Ed Catmull who is the co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios and the President of Pixar and Disney Animation Studios. In 1984 John Lasseter (Chief Creative Officer, Pixar and Disney Animation Studios Principal Creative Advisor and Walt Disney Imagineering) left his animation job at Disney to join George Lucas special effects group.

Steve Jobs the world famous founder of Apple Inc. bought the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd. and with his magic fingers established Pixar as an independent company (1986). During this year Pixar did a Animation Short world premiere at the Siggraph convention. This Animation Short became a famous mascot for the Pixar Corporation – Luxo Jr. It took only one year before the Luxo Jr. Animation Short got it’s Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Short Film.

The years went by while their sales (of Pixar’s Computers) went for the worse and threatened the company out of business. It wasn’t until Lasseter’s animation department decided to produce computer animated commercials for outside companies, companies like Listerine, Tropicana and LifeSavers. During the following years Pixar continued its relationship with Walt Disney Feature Animation to produce the three upcoming computer animated feature films. The first feature film was Toy Story, it had it’s first public appearance 1995 during the American Thanksgiving holiday. It became the highest grossing film during 1995 ($362 million worldwide). During the following years Pixar evolved to a larger company and made jaw dropping computer animated films such as: A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL·E, Up and soon Toy Story 3. They’ve also created a bunch of Animated shorts such as: Presto, For the Birds, Lifted, Tokyo Mater, Knick Knack, Luxo Jr and many more.

May 5th 2006 Disney bought Pixar, John Lasseter became the new Chief Creative Officer, Pixar and Disney Animation Studios Principal Creative Advisor and Walt Disney Imagineering.

Pixar are building a new studio in Vancouver – British Columbia – Canada and will be named the “Glenn McQueen Pixar Animation Center” after the Pixar animator Glenn McQueen (Canadian born) who died in 2002.
