Pixar News Lineup

There's been a lot of Pixar news going around lately, but I haven't been able to get on to the computer much with all the homework I've had. I don't like homework. At all.

-First up, it has been announced that composer Randy Newman will not return to score Cars 2. However, Up composer Michael Giacchino will be scoring the film. This should be great. Randy Newman would've done a great job, but Micheal Giacchino is just as talented.

-You may remember the "Chatter Telephone Tipline" video I posted not so long ago. It was about Pixar's secret code, A113. Well, a few more "Chatter Telephone Tiplines" have debuted on the Internet. One is about Lee Unkrich's one and only line in TS3. Lee voiced the Jack-in-the-Box that proclaims, "New toys!" when Andy's toys arrive at Sunnyside. There is also another "Chatter Telephone Tipline" about Sid's cameo in TS3. You may remember Sid as Andy's evil neighbor who tortures toys in the first Toy Story. Well, in TS3 he is a little older, and appears to have gotten a job in the garbage truck business.

-A few more sneak peeks of the bonus features which will be on the TS3 DVD/Blu-Ray have been released. One is a touching video featuring director Lee Unkrich and John Morris, voice of Andy in Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3. Another one features interviews with Lee Unkrich, Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Estelle Harris, and Jodi Benson. Only two days and two weeks until we bring all the action, heart, and humor of TS3 home!

Well, that's it for today, but keep coming back here for everything Pixar, the company that makes the best films in the world!

Note: My post about the Pixar cereal bar will be my next post. ;)

Sneak Peek of New "Cereal Bar" Studio Story

You may have heard of Pixar's legendary cereal bar before. In the newest installment of Pixar's Studio Stories, which will be included on the TS3 DVD and Blu-Ray, this amazing cereal bar is explained. The video below is just a sneak peek of the upcoming Studio Story, so there is much more to come on the TS3 DVD and Blu-Ray. I personally think that this cereal bar is really, really, cool. I would LOVE to have a cereal bar like this at home, but I don't think that's ever going to happen! :( Look forward to the complete version of this Studio Story, and some other cool ones, when TS3 hits stores November 2! (Only less than a month to go! I can't wait to watch TS3 again!)

Note: My next post will be all about Pixar's cereal bar, and will include everything I know about it.

Are you a fan of Pixar's Studio Stories? Had you ever heard of Pixar's cereal bar before? Are you excited for TS3 to come out on home video?

Watch "Heavy Metal Mater" on Cars Website!

This past Friday, as I mentioned on my last post, Heavy Metal Mater, the newest Cars Toon, premiered on Disney Channel, AND, on the official Cars website. I watched Heavy Metal Mater on Friday, and it was HILARIOUS! I especially loved hearing Mater sing "Dad Gum". I really recommend you go to the Cars website and watch this new Cars Toon, it is as funny and enjoyable as all the others!

Did you watch Heavy Metal Mater? Did you enjoy it? What has been your favorite Cars Toon?

"Heavy Metal Mater" Set to Premiere Tomorrow!

Heavy Metal Mater, the latest installment in the Cars Toon saga is set to premiere tomorrow on Disney Channel. This is the newest Cars Toon yet after Monster Truck Mater, and will surely be just as funny! Here is a full synopsis:

Mater is a rock star in a heavy metal band. He starts out in a garage band and rises to the top with his hit song, "Dad Gum." Lightning McQueen joins him on stage in the middle of a huge concert and they rock into history!

Looks like another awesome Cars Toon to me! Look forward to even more great Cars Toons very soon, including Moon Mater and Mater Private Eye on the upcoming Cars Toons DVD and Blu-Ray! You can also expect to find Heavy Metal Mater on the new Cars Toons Blu-Ray/DVD.

Are you excited for Heavy Metal Mater? Are you looking forward to some new Cars Toons?

New "Cars Toon" Images!

As I have mentioned before, Mater's Tall Tales is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on November 2, along with Toy Story 3. This awesome new collection complete with the entire Cars Toon series, features two all-new shorts, Mater Private Eye and Moon Mater. Some cool new images of these two shorts were released recently, and I have posted them below for your enjoyment. Wow! Mater looks great in that astronaut suit and that fancy spy hat. These two shorts look like they're going to be OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
