Pixar back on form with Inside Out

Pixar have released a brand new trailer for their upcoming film Inside Out and what a treat to the eyeballs it is too.


All we knew at first was that the film was set inside a girls head and we follow the lives of the little, dare I say it, 'brain trust' that control her emotions. Now from this trailer we are thrown completely! with the inclusion of multiple 'brain trusts' in multiple heads. The emotions are all linked to their specific characters personalities but fall back on their standard emotions of Anger, Sadness, Fear, Joy and Disgust, also their names.


I'll be honest and say that I haven't laughed this hard a trailer in years and it promises some more sharp humour and clever set ups that we were used to previous Pixar films, pre-Brave. Pixar seemed to have finally realised what their winning formula is and are back on form with Inside Out. One can only imagine how the rest of the plot will pan out. Mum's Anger meeting Dad's Anger, a switch of personalities, the introduction of animal emotions? Who knows but we all wait with not so much baited breath but joyful intrigue.

Pixars 'Numbskulls meets the Seven Dwarves' or Inside Out is set for a UK release in July so stand by for more teasers!

New Uli Meyer Animation

Something special arises from Uli Meyer's Vimeo page every so often and here is his latest treat. Its a superb shapeshifting animation using some of Meyer's unique character creations. The flow is unsurpassed and the way there seems to be extra little characters in the shifts adds more intrigue. The eye is the point from where the shift is based and it elegantly pops from one side of a face to the other intrinsically holding it all together.  A great little animation piece from one of the UK's greatest talents.

1st Anniversary for 'Deja View'



Congratulations to Andreas Deja for his first year in blogging. Over the last year his blog 'Deja View' has presented us with a wealth of knowledge from the Disney back catalogue. From scene planning to character designs to films that never even saw the light of day.

I personally have enjoyed every single post and have learnt so much from each one. His knowledge on the nine old men is amazing and his personal collection of animation drawings certainly proves that. He is truly a Disney icon and fanatic and I look forward to lots more posts and insights.

Keep up the good work Andreas and heres to another year on top!

Here are some drawings that he did for a film that never made it further that initial development. This had to be my favourite of his posts, I just love his characters, the movement and acting he gets out of a single drawing.

New 'Wreck-It-Ralph' trailer

Just watched the Disney's new 'Wreck-it-Ralph' trailer. For their 52nd animated feature it's about time they broke away from convention but to go down the parody route just seems a bit too easy and non-adventurous.

It does pose a new idea though, putting famous computer game characters into one film. Just feel that it isn't very Disney, more Dreamworks and even they've cut down on output like this.

Fingers crossed its a great film! Ever the optimist!
