Toy Story 2 has finally been added to the iTunes store, thus completing the collection of Pixar movies. The movie will set you back $14.99 with a file size of 1.03 GB. For those who don’t want to download it and would prefer a DVD, you can find it at any retailer for $19.99.
You obviously know that I agree with that fact, but it isn’t as easy as you would think to get the nomination. While Pixar pretty much has the animation Oscar in the bag already, it isn’t the case with Best Picture. If they choose to attempt to get the nomination for Best Picture then they might lose votes in the Animation category. The NYTimes has a very detailed article on the situation.
I for one think Ratatouille not only deserves the nomination, but also the win. It is, after all, the best reviewed movie of the year.
So what do you think? Leave a comment!
Jim Hill Media has posted an article that highlights some early Ratatouille art that is featured in the book, “The Art of Ratatouille.”
“It is one of the more intriguing aspects of the production history of Pixar’s latest, “Ratatouille.” The fact that this animated feature started off with one director, Jan Pinkava, and then wound up being completed by yet another director, Brad Bird. So why exactly did that happen? More importantly, what would Jan Pinkava’s version of “Ratatouille” have been like?”

We all know that Ratatouille is Pixar’s latest movie but what about next year and the year after that? We’ve got you covered!
For 2008, Pixar has WALL-E lined up, directed by Andrew Stanton (writer/director of Finding Nemo). The story goes something like this: “The year is 2700. WALL• E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for.â€
In 2009 we’ll be treated to Up, about a 70-year old man who befriends a clueless young Wilderness Ranger. He travels the globe, fights beasts and villains and eats dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon. Up will be directed by Pete Docter (Writer/Director: Monsters, Inc., Writer: Toy Story 1 and 2) and co-director Bob Peterson (Writer: Finding Nemo).
And last but certainly not least, Toy Story 3 will finally make its debut… in 2010. It will be directed by Lee Unkrich (co-driector of Toy Story 2 and Finding Nemo). They’re keeping the plot to this one secret for now, but whatever it is, I’m sure we’ll all love it.
To infinity and beyond!

Millions cried today when Disney announced that Toy Story 3 won’t be released until 2010. Three long years of waiting to see what Woody and Buzz are up to. At least we’ll have other upcoming Pixar films such as Ratatouille, Wall-E to ease the pain of waiting.
Disney also confirmed that Tom Hanks and Tim Allen will be back for the starring roles. If you’ve been keeping up with the Toy Story 3 news, you might remember that both Tom and Tim had said they would not voice the characters if Pixar wasn’t involved. Disney, at one point, had started work on Toy Story 3 without Pixar. Now that Disney owns Pixar, the rightful studio has taken over development.
