The ‘Forgotten/Minor Characters Project’ Is Back!
Hello readers,
I apologize for my lack of posts in a while, but I’m here with an announcement: MY FORGOTTEN/MINOR CHARACTERS PROJECT IS BACK!!!!!
As you all know, about a year or more ago, I went through all the films in the Disney Canon and chose a forgotten/minor character in each one. Now, I’m going to do it again, but with all of the Pixar films!
Yes, I know there are many Pixar fanatics who follow my blog, so hopefully you’ll enjoy this! So keep a look out for these posts coming up!
“The Incredibles 2” And “Cars 3” Confirmed!
In news that’s taking the Internet by storm, Disney has officially announced that there is a sequel to both “The Incredibles” and “Cars” in the works!
Fans have nigh unanimously been asking for a sequel to “The Incredibles” for the longest while, and now their prayers have been answered!
Regarding “Cars 3”, people tend to either have a “meh” attitude towards it or a “Oh darn, why?!” attitude towards it.
I personally am looking forward to “The Incredibles 2” and although I’m not excited for “Cars 3”, I still want to see it. They better bring back Michael Caine as a voice! I want to hear him say “You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!” in the film…unless he’s said it already in “Cars 2” and I missed it.
Anyway, you can read more about it here: http://variety.com/2014/film/news/disney-plans-third-cars-the-incredibles-2-movies-1201137824/
How do you feel about this news?
Actor Peter O’Toole Dies at 81!
Actor Peter O’Toole has died at the age of 81! Peter O’Toole (1932-2013) was an amazing actor who sadly held the record for most Academy Award acting nominations without a win. His most famous role was that of T.E. Lawrence in the epic, “Lawrence of Arabia”.
Animation fans will also know him as the voice of Anton Ego in Pixar’s “Ratatouille”
as well as the voice of Sherlock Holmes in a few animated adaptations of the “Sherlock Holmes” stories.
He shall be missed.

My Thoughts: PLANES (2013)
With the financial success of the “Cars” series, it was only a matter of time before Disney tried to cash in on other venues of the same universe. That’s where “Planes” comes in. Continue reading “My Thoughts: PLANES (2013)”

My Thoughts: MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (2013)
I wasn’t too excited when I heard that a prequel to “Monsters, Inc.” was in the making. Yes, I LOVE “Monsters, Inc.” (it’s my favorite Pixar film), so I was excited to see my favorite characters return in a cinematic production. But at the same time, I didn’t want to be disappointed by them appearing in a less-than-mediocre prequel.
Anyway, I finally watched the movie. What did I think of it? Well, let’s talk about the film first. Continue reading “My Thoughts: MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (2013)”
“Monsters University” Passes!
Pixar’s 14th animated feature, “Monsters University”, has shown itself to be an A-level movie and has opened at the #1 slot (as all the Pixar films have done) in the United States and Canada over the weekend! The prequel to “Monsters Inc.” earned a monstrous $82 million over the weekend, Pixar’s 2nd biggest opener ever (after “Toy Story 3”)! And to top it all off, the film has been receiving pretty much positive reviews!
Have you seen this movie? What did you think of it? If not, do you plan on seeing it? And if so, when? I personally haven’t seen it yet, but definitely plan to see it when it comes on DVD.
