Pixar has just released 9 minutes of footage from Ratatouille in High Definition. (Broken Link Sorry)
Ratatouille looks set to be one of the best film Pixar has produced as they raise the bar once again.

Everything about this film shouts quality, from the slick animation and beautiful style to the intriguing characters and storyline.

Pixar Cars & One Man Band

Poster For Pixar’s Animated Feature Cars

Finally seen Pixar’s latest film Cars, directed by John Lassetter, in fantastic digital format at The Light Vue Cinema. After the initial disappointment of the first teaser trailer, I am pleased to say that Pixar have come up with the goods yet again. Oh, apart from the exception of Jeremy Clarkson as the voice of Lightning McQueen’s agent. I wish directors wouldn’t insist on using localised celebrity voice talent for each country. It instantly shatters the illusion. I’ll definitely be buying the original US version of the DVD. Look out for the hilarious tractor tipping scene and the equally superb end credits.

As a bonus, the new short film One Man Band written and directed by Andrew Jimenez and Mark Andrews was also shown before the main film. The film has a beautiful European style, somewhat of a departure for Pixar and has a nice simple storyline with well developed characters.

The Art of Cars
by Michael Wallis

Example Page From The Art of Cars

Another excellent ‘art of’ book from Pixar. Included are many examples of pre-production sketches, maquette sculpts, animation thumbnails, digital paintings and digital renders amongst others. The book also includes fascinating development insights from some of the key artists and animators at Pixar.

Pixar Cars Teaser Trailer

Screenshot From Cars Trailer

First look at Pixar’s latest film entitled Cars.

The quicktime teaser trailer is quite disappointing for Pixar. I think this is down to the rather flat middle section of the trailer. I have faith though, that Pixar will deliver, as usual, a visually stunning feature film.

Official The Incredibles Poster

Just seen The Incredibles in glorious digital format at The Filmworks in Manchester. The clarity of the images is so clear, I won’t be watching a blurry low quality film from now on, it’s digital or nothing at all.
