These works reveal the intricate, hands-on processes behind Pixar's computer-generated filmsincluding TOY STORY, A BUG'S LIFE, TOY STORY 2, MONSTERS INC., FINDING NEMO, THE INCREDIBLES, CARS, and numerous shorts. The exhibition also includes a complete retrospective of Pixar films. Demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between traditional and digital media pioneered by the studio over its twenty-year history.
The curator of the show said, "We wanted to make sure that people understood that computer animation wasn't created by pushing a button. The preparation work is done with traditional pencil and paper just like animation has always been done."
The show will run through February 6, 2006.
