Why am i crazy about PIXAR??!!



Wanted to try blogging from my mobile... There were some steps to activate and after going through all that.. established the connection between my blog and my mobile.

Its fun to blog from mobile but obviously i am concerned about the GPRS rates... i think this blog would have taken at least Rs.5 to get uploaded... But anyways i am now happy to have found a new way to blog :D

Took a picture of the Wall-E DVD that i bought yesterday and uploaded directly from my mobile.. ain't that cool?

I have been waiting for this DVD for a long time.
My best friend Archie gave this DVD as a Christmas gift, So a special thanks to her :)! Most of my friends know how i am a HUGE fan of PIXAR studios.... and i had always wanted to watch the "THE PIXAR STORY", a documentary film that was made about PIXAR...

i have seen almost all PIXAR films.. For kids who don't know what all films that PIXAR has produced, here is a list:

> Toy Story
> A Bug's Life
> Toy Story 2
> Monsters, Inc.
> Finding Nemo
>
The Incredibles
>
Cars
>
Ratatouille
>
WALL-E

Except Bug's Life i have watched all other pixar movies. Though i liked all the films i was never interested in how these films were made and which studio was actually making these wonderful films. Then i happened to stumble upon a copy of HBR (Harvard Business Review) in which Ed Catmull (the co-founder of Pixar along with Steve Jobs) explained how Pixar was formed and how after many struggles they were able to create Toy Story and how they managed to create a world class animation studio.. I also happened to listen to that podcast here.

I immediately fell in love with Pixar... Did a lot of research on them... the way they work... about Render-man(their rendering server) and host of other things... almost everything about pixar and it inspired me to create a new studio which will be bigger and better than PIXAR, at least i hope it to be---> The 3ifactory Design Studio (More on this later)

Having said that i came to know that a documentary was made about the history of pixar and that the documentary is going to be released in the WALL E DVD edition....

Thats the story of how i got my hands on this Wall - E DVD !!

If you are a pixar fan then you must watch the Pixar Story... Ping me if you need the DVD and i will be glad to lend that :)


P.S: [update on Aug 26th, 2010] I have seen Bugs life now and Pixar released two films after Wall-E - Up and Toy Story3. I have watched them too :)

Burn - E (Out and Out Comedy out in the Space)!!!

Are you a Fan of Disney Pixar's Wall-E??
If so, Read on....

I bought the WALL-E DVD pack so that i can watch "The Pixar Story" ( a documentary film about pixar came into existence and how it is ruling the animated movie world). There were loads of extra features which came along with the DVD but one "thing" which really impressed me was a "Short Film" named "BURN-E".

I was introduced into a new dimension of film making... We have Wall-E, which was a huge block buster movie... they had taken some scenes from Wall-E and included it in the story line of Burn-E... Now thats some really cool innovative thinking... thats why pixar is still everyone's favorite....

Coming back to the our Burn-E

BURN-E stands for (Basic Utility Repair Nano Engineer) ... What a cool name :P
So, as his name suggests he repairs broken things and in this short film he is trying to repair a small lamp. The film is about the obstacles that Burn-E faces while trying to fix that lamp and the sheer determination of Burn-E in spite of that.

Did Burn-E fix the lamp or not??

Enzoi!!! Burn - E... Watch it if you are a big fan of Wall - E and Pixar (like me) :)
