The EPCOT Center's Spaceship Earth is Now Mike Wazowski
Spaceship Earth at the EPCOT Center has turned into Mike Wazowski.
Yes, to promote the upcoming "Monsters Inc" sequel "Monsters University," Disney has turned their famous Spaceship Earth (you probably know it better as "pointless golf ball-looking thing") structure into a large, equal parts adorable and horrifying version of Mike Wazowski, a main character (a main monster?) from the two films voiced by Billy Crystal. The way they were able to do it is incredibly impressive, if a little over-the-top and a lot "1984"/"Lord of the Rings"-ish. Get More »

We Found Nemo in These Cool Minimalist Pixar Posters!
It's official: Minimalist posters are a thing. Studios are still churning out dull, lifeless floating head Photoshop deals, but everyone who knows where it's at lives for the clever, often fan-made movie art that pops up with increasing frequency.
One such experiment in coolness was conducted by graphic designer Wonchan Lee, who made several pieces representing different animated masterpieces in the Pixar canon, which can be seen in an article on Yahoo! and after the jump. Get More »

'Monsters University' Clip Brings Out the Squeals
Unlike most movie follow-ups, "Monsters University" takes its main characters James "Sulley" Sullivan (John Goodman) and Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) back a phase to show how they became the pair of lovably scary scamps we got to know in 2001's "Monsters, Inc."
As the title suggests, the story takes place at the college where the two first meet (lucky this is an animated world where they can easily age in reverse) and from the looks of this new clip, their initial encounter is just as festive and messy as one might expect. Get More »

6 Classic Monsters as Pixar Monsters
Old Red Jalopy
You've no doubt heard about that whole thing where Disney bought "Star Wars." And you've probably seen all of the fan-created mashups where the various "Star Wars" heroes and villains interact with Disney characters. They're oddly uplifting, no? As if the Empire built the Magic Castle instead of the Death Star.
Now, what if, in an alternate world in a galaxy far, far away, Pixar (another Disney purchase) bought Universal Studios? Sure, that would mean that Halloween Horror Nights probably wouldn't feature girls in slave bikinis trapped in cages anymore, but it would also mean that the studio behind your favorite animated films (such as, you know, "Monsters Inc.," which comes out in 3-D this weekend) would now own the classic Universal monsters.

'Boo Bass' Makes Music with 'Monsters, Inc.'
Pixar
How does one make music out of "Monsters, Inc.," you wonder? The answer may come as a surprise — and most definitely as a delight.
"Boo Bass" is a light electronica ditty comprised of various sound bites from the animated Pixar classic, most of which are noises made by the film's young heroine, Boo (voiced by Mary Gibbs), and the excitable mini-monster, Mike (Billy Crystal) — with the occasional aside by good ol' Sulley (John Goodman).

Disney Prepares an Onslaught of 3-D Re-Releases
Disney
Here's a quick review for you: In preparation for the first Blu-ray release of "the Lion King," Disney decided to invest a few bucks in a 3-D conversion and send it back to theaters for a limited time to generate a little bit of buzz. That it did -- and three weeks later, it's also generated the studio about $80 million bucks.
Three guesses what they're going to do next.
Okay, so you probably only needed one to figure this out, but it's still pretty cool news for fans of animation: Disney has officially announced today that they will be re-releasing several of their most popular films for 3D theatrical runs, including "Beauty and the Beast," "Finding Nemo" and "The Little Mermaid."
