Here’s a Featurette for MONSTERS UNIVERSITY

Monday, February 11th, 2013

monsters

Here is the first featurette for Pixar’s Monsters University, in the sequel we go back to Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) and James P. “Sulley” Sullivan’s (John Goodman) college days and shows how the two became best friends.  College comedies are sometimes great (Animal House, Back to School) and it’s easy to see the folks at Pixar are drawing from the fun we get from those classics.  Hijinx!

Watch the featurette below, Monsters Inc. Monsters University opens on June 21st.

Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn’t stand each other. “Monsters University” unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.

monsters-inc-3dMonsters Inc. 3D may not have existed if not for the success of the 3D re-release of The Lion King,thanks Disney.  Finding Nemo 3D is coming out soon, so don’t expect this double dip strategy to go away any time soon. Saying that, Monsters Inc. is a favorite of mine on the list of Pixar movies, I’ll be happy to watch it at home again.

Monsters Inc. 3D opens on December 19th, watch the trailer below:

“Monsters, Inc.” is set in Monstropolis, a thriving company town where monsters of all shapes and sizes reside. Lovable Sulley (John Goodman) and his wisecracking best friend Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) are the top scare team at Monsters, Inc., the largest scream-processing factory. The main power source in the monster world is the collected screams of human children–and at Monsters, Inc., an elite team of scarers is responsible for gathering those precious natural resources.

Visually Awesome Scene From Pixar’s BRAVE

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

brave

I don’t normally like to watch scenes from movies before they are released, with Brave though I just had to see some more action and visuals.  Having now watched the clip below, I’m fully satisfied and am more excited to see this flick than ever before.

The movie takes place in the Scottish Highlands and follows young princess Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) who “defies an age-old custom, inadvertently unleashing chaos and fury in the kingdom”.  In the scene below three men are trying to win an archery contest for Merida’s hand in marriage. Merida being the brave one she is doesn’t feel like sitting idly by while her life is planned out for her, so she takes action.

Hit the jump to watch the scene, Brave opens in 3D on June 22nd.

FINDING NEMO 3D Trailer

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

nemo

Arguably the best looking Pixar movie, Andrew Stanton‘s Finding Nemo is getting the 3D re-release treatment this year.  It’s will be released September 14th and we have a trailer that will likely be attached to Beauty and the Beast 3D this weekend.

With the amount of detail and depth in Nemo this could be an enjoyable viewing experience.  Saying that, I don’t know how much time was spent on the transfer, and I don’t think every movie that made some wallet years ago has to be released again.  Have you seen any 3D re-releases (Lion King)?  Will you see Nemo?

Watch the trailer below:
