Pixar-Forgotten/Minor Characters #9: The Current CEO of the Buy n Large Corporation
Wow, this is the 3rd Pixar movie in which I’ve had difficulty selecting a forgotten/minor character and ended up having to go with a character that was unseen, or in this case, not even mentioned. Good job at stumping me, Pixar!
Anyway, today’s forgotten/minor character is from Pixar’s 9th film and winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, WALL-E. (Warning: this post will have spoilers!)
‘Frozen 2’ Confirmed!
In what comes as no surprise to anyone, Disney has officially announced that they’re developing a sequel to their billion-dollar film, Frozen. The original team is set to develop the sequel. For more information, check out the Variety article here.
I personally am not excited about this. I feel Frozen should remain its own movie and not have a sequel, much less a sequel in the official Canon. But, the original movie was a huge success, so there’s no reason why this film will become a flop for Disney.
Are you all excited for this? Let me know in the comments below!

Actor Leonard Nimoy Dies at 83!
Beloved actor, Leonard Nimoy, has passed away at the age of 83. Mr. Nimoy (1931-2015) was best known for his portrayal of Mr. Spock in the Star Trek franchise.
But, he has played many other roles besides including a few voice roles! These include the Atlantean king in Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire,
Sentinel Prime in Transformers: Dark of the Moon,

He shall be missed!

Too bad. Here’s my review!
Disney Wins Animation Awards at 87th Academy Awards!
Well, the 87th Academy Awards were yesterday and you can check the list of winners here. In terms of animation, Disney won the Best Animated Short and Best Animated Film Oscars for Feast and Big Hero 6, respectively.
I congratulate Disney on this, although I was sure that How to Train Your Dragon 2 was going to win. In the end, I only correctly predicted 12 Oscars this year and couldn’t beat my high score last year of 14. Oh well, there’s always next year, God-willing!

Pixar-Forgotten/Minor Characters #8: Francois
Pixar’s 8th feature film is one hailed by many as a perfect film, not just one of their favorite animated films, but a film that deserved a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards.
