"In his remarks, John Lasseter pointed out that the company's name is a blending of 'Pixel' and 'Art,' establishing their desire to blend art and technology from the outset"

"The Pixar name might have evolved from 'Pixel Art'. Edwin stated that the name was first given to a specialized computer, then became a team name, and was eventually selected for the company's name."

Cool.

Saw a picture here:

and wondered: is this pic a fake, or are there really such sunscreens for your car available? I would love it!

[PixarVixen]

Well, I'm not able to translate any of that, but I could still see the word "photoshop". If you ask me, I'd say it's just a photo edit.

Now if they DID make sunscreens for cars, that would be one of the smartest moves for Cars merchandise. My mom was even discussing the idea with me. I know I'd be the first to buy one.

I've been told that such sunscreens ARE available at Target - haven't seen one for myself yet though.

Here's the Babelfish translation:

"As from today already her and of the to see, and as from morning zowat everywhere: Cars! At last! Especially on the occasion of these new Pixar-film a special question: fotootje make the result of your own car, photoshop a face and wheel to animatieblog@planet.nl!

I just did a search for them and actually found images! They do exist, but they are said to be very rare.



Both sunshades have Lightning's eyes.

[Sullivan]

It was never announced as premiering with Cars

Yeah, but...Sullivan said it would! *whines* J/K

Oh really? Let's rewind the tape:

About whether films produced by Pixar Animation Studios would have a new logo now that they were owned by Disney, Meg had asked:

Will they have a new logo, or will they keep the castle/lamp thing?

I responded:

Buy a ticket to Cars and find out!

I think you have probably found out the answer to that question.

[Meg]

I don't care if I have a car or not -I NEED ONE OF THOSE.

[Macaluso]

Oh holy hell, I want one of those now

[Meg]

The only problem is the red kind of clashes with some colors...

But STILL!

[PixarVixen]

Yep. If only they had Mater eyes...because my car is an ugly brown. Then it would be a little more interesting. *sighs*

[ShyViolet]

Oh, O.K.

Anyway...in this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly, there's a very interesting article on "The Toy Story that never Was" with Circle 7 and all that. It has quotes from Andrew Stanton and other animation figures about how they felt about all that.

Very good read!

BTW, no kidding, do you know that one of the lines for TS 3 was going to be: "To infinity and b ee-otch!" ?

(sorry for the bad language, I just didn't know how many stars to put in for that. )

This might have been mentioned on this site at one time, so I apologize.

OMGosh! They might as well have Buzz on a poster going, "I'm Buzz Lightyear, b****!"

~~=oP

[Brandon Neeld]

Don't you know who I am?! I'm Buzz Lightyear B****!!!

Oh wait, wrong movie.

[Edit] - OMG - Did I just cross two 3-quels.
