6 Facts About Pixar You Don't Already Know

In This Article:

This past week I had the opportunity to go to the Pixar exhibit in Chicago at the Museum of Science and Industry. I learned so much about the workings behind our favorite movies. Here are 6 of my favorite facts behind the classics.

1. Toy Story was the world's first feature length computer-animated movie

Toy Story opened us up into a new type of animation which launched Pixar into the spotlight.

2. Pixar build over 1,000 character models for Toy Story.

Every single toy in Toy Story is different. in fact there were 1,000 characters designed for this movie. Who knew!

3. Sulley has 2.3 million hairs in Monsters, Inc.

The fluffy monster we all love has many details. In fact he has 2.3 million details in his hair alone!

4. It took 3 days of processing to create one of the images in the Monsters, Inc. final image.

With having 2.3 million hairs, it took many hours of processing for us to get the movie we all know and love today.

5. Finding Nemo was the first movie to have believable water effects

The animators at Pixar had 3 kinds of water effects made for Finding Nemo, the surface, water droplets, and spray.

6. In Cars, the scene with all 15 cars required millions of calculations to create the reflections.

Cars was the first movie of its kind to have the reflective surfaces in the movies. It is a minor detail, but it made all the difference when it came to what we thought of Cars.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
