In adapting Mary Norton’s The Borrowers the talented hands of Studio Ghibli crafted a magnificent and moving film with Arrietty. Pleasingly the film was very well received and marked a fine debut for director Hiromasa Yonebayashi, who was a key member of the animation department under Miyazaki’s old and young with early work on Princess [...]
With 2011 preparing to live happily ever after, Walt Disney Pictures has turned its attention to its current slate of upcoming releases, according to Coming Soon. As the notoriously slow animation process pushes new projects to the farthest reaches of 2013, the studio’s next conceivable release will now likely be Frozen, a long-gestating adaptation of [...]
Over the course of the year, we’ve been seeing some terrific things from Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie and Pixar’s Brave, both of which will be getting their big-screen release in the year to come. For Brave, we got our first look at the trailer back in the summer, and have seen plenty of other wonderful things [...]
Pixar are responsible for most of the top-drawer animation coming into the market place these days. How To Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda have shown that Dreamworks are gradually upping their game and of course Studio Ghibli remains a formidable force. What is now becoming increasingly evident is that the directors of Pixar’s [...]

UpcomingPixar have got the first two posters for the film’s Oscar campaign, with Pixar setting their sights on [...]
The Muppets is in US cinemas today and we have to wait flippin ages until February 2012 to see it. No, we are NOT happy! Another reason that we are not happy is that the short film which will sit in front of The Muppets is a new one from Pixar using Toy Story and [...]
Anything new from Pixar is guaranteed to be worth watching but this new trailer for their forthcoming film Brave is just a joy to behold. There’s an excellent cast lending their voices to the film with Princess Merida voiced by Kelly Macdonald with Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and Robbie [...]

On the off chance you haven’t been to a cinema recently or seen any of the advertising for it elsewhere, you may not have heard the fantastic news that the 1994 classic Disney film, The Lion King, has just been re-released in cinemas in 3D. I was too young to see it as a child [...]
Steve Jobs, the co-founder and face of Apple, has died at the young age of just 56. Truly a visionary, this incredibly saddening news has been felt across the globe, with politicians and CEOs in Jobs’ rival technology companies sending out heartfelt statements lamenting the tragic loss of such a brilliant man at such a [...]
We got a fantastic first look at Pixar’s upcoming short, La Luna, a few months ago, getting to see a few brilliant images from the seven-minute film as well as a thirty-second clip.

As if you didn’t already have a good enough reason to go see the new Muppets movie when it opens in U.S. cinemas on November 23rd and in the UK (rather frustratingly) three months later on February 17th 2012, here’s another one: Disney announced at the recent D23 Expo that they’re attaching a new Toy [...]
Honestly, no one does it better than Pixar. However, over the last few years I’ve found myself slipping out of love with the studio. I just chalked it up to me getting older and out of touch. The fact is I think the films the studio has been focusing on have been mediocre at best. [...]
