Pioneers

"Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them."

- Robert Jarvik

Here is an interesting Charlie Rose interview with John Lasseter and Steve Jobs, both visionary pioneers, back in 1995 as they discuss the computer generated animation process and their company, Pixar. I'm not a huge Apple person, but there is no denying the impact Steve Jobs has made in this world. Check out the video below.

Still Going Strong

I have a special fondness for Pixar and their movies just like the majority of the public, but I have to admit, the idea of Cars 2 did not sparkle with magic the way all of Pixar's previous works did. Although, due to their history of amazing films, I think the critics, deservedly so, had extremely high expectations for Cars 2. And because this extremely high expectation wasn't met, the critics were extra harsh in their critique and rating of the movie.

Despite this, I think Pixar has proven its record in the past and will continue to do so. If you even have the slightest doubt that Pixar still has it, which you shouldn't, check out the new teaser of their next film, Brave.

Amazing...

Up!

The trailer to Pixar's upcoming film "Up" is now available. When I first heard about the premise, it intrigued me and just seeing this trailer now has given me that good ol' Pixar feeling again. Click on the image to see it! "Up" hits theaters May 29, 2009.

The Princess and the Frog

Disney's much anticipated return to 2D animation begins with the 2009 release of The Princess and the Frog. I'm extremely excited to see Disney return to traditional animation especially if John Lasseter is in charge. He's now the Chief Creative Officer of not only Pixar, but Disney as well.

Those who don't know, John Lasseter was one of the founding members of Pixar and director of some of your favorite Pixar films.

Check out the trailer at the website linked above. Its looking good so far.
