It all started with a doodle of a grumpy old man holding balloons. And ended with the most heart-rending opening sequence in the history of animation.
This looks amazing. Is it possible for Pixar to make a bad movie? It just doesn't seem possible. And thank god they've never made movies about cars. Because if they did, those would probably be the exceptions to the rule. But thank god we live in a world where that never happened. Whew.
Movie Buzz Looking good, Merida. Not scheduled to release until June of 2012, these little snippets are just enough to assage the already ravenous fan base.
Movie Buzz Just rip my heart out and stomp on it, Pixar. Surely even they wouldn't resort to something this heartrending. Thank God this is just the brain-child of Q4Nobody

Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich recently took to his Twitter account, and, on a rare break from vivid descriptions of dumps he just took (TMI, Unkrich! God!), shared some of the titles that got thrown around at Pixar before they eventually settled on the name we all now know and love.
Movie Buzz This combines two of my great loves: The Muppets and Pixar. Apparently everyone's favorite peanut gallery made a cameo in “Presto” (which was shown originally before Wall-E). (via characterdesign.blogspot.com)
If you have a soul, you love Pixar (though hating Cars and Cars 2 is certainly allowed). This behind the scenes video gives you a look into the life of the man who made it all happen-slash-Hawaiian shirt enthusiast, John Lasseter. Mr. Lasseter you are my god. Now I wish you would acknowledge that Cars was a mistake. I mean Cars? Why? (via youtube.com)
Technology is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Technology.
“Erik's first … oh, wait” by CG artist Victor Hugo. Would love to see the Pixared version of Wolverine.
The best thing about Cars 2 releasing this weekend is the new Brave trailer! Even at such poor quality, the world of Merida is gorgeous! UPDATE: This is now the OFFICIAL TRAILER!
Movie Buzz Mmmmm, sassy Ginger heroine. First they release character art and now this. It's like they want me to resent Cars 2.
Culture Buzz Created by Old Red Jalopy in anticipation of Pixar's upcoming Cars 2. Excellent designs, but where is the Mystery Machine? Kitt? Turbo-Teen, even? (via nextmovie.com)
It will be interesting to see how the people at Pixar handle a strong female protagonist. (via theuniblog.evilspacerobot.com)
Movie Buzz Cars 2 currently has a 44% On RottenTomatoes, breaking Pixar's decade long fresh streak. Instead of a 10 film list here's just one film that got better reviews than Cars 2 in 2011.

Culture Buzz These faux adverts for the fictional businesses of the Pixar universe are by Mario Graciotti. The series is entitled 'Pixar Establishments'. If you enjoyed these, make sure to check out Graciotti's other art - he has an eye for tight colorful design. (Via The Uniblog)
Everyone, meet Princess Merida. Yes, Pixar is using a princess in their first foray at having a female main character, but she's Scottish and riding on horseback with a bow and arrow, so tentative approval.
Here's a nifty graphical comparison of average audience ratings of Pixar and Dreamworks animated films. You just can't beat Toy Story! It's too good.
