Before Pixar Director Lee Unkrich made it big, he was just like you and I… a regular 20-year-old kid wearing an awful sweater, trying to earn some cash to pay for school.
The difference being he decided to earn money by dominating an episode of the game show “Win, Lose or Draw” in 1987. According to Mr. Unkrich, he was “coerced into buying that sweater by the show’s producers.”
And in case you’re wondering, he used his winnings to pay for his USC housing fees. This video was posted by Mr. Unkrich, as promised, once he reached the 100,000 followers threshold on twitter.

Pixar is hard at work on Brave, the company’s first fairy tale film, schedule for released June 22, 2012. The Scotland-based film is also Pixar’s first to star a female protagonist. The lead character will be voiced by Kelly Macdonald, a role previously intended for Reese Witherspoon who had to drop out due to scheduling issues.
Brave tells the story of a princess named Merida who brings turmoil to her kingdom and in an attempt to right her wrong seeks out an old Wise Woman who grants her a wish. Along her journey she will interact with the kingdom’s three lords: Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson), and Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane).

Disney/Pixar has revealed that the 2012 sequel formerly known as Monsters, Inc. 2 will be officially titled Monsters University. No word yet on whether or not Billy Crystal and John Goodman have signed on to reprise their roles, but it is expected they will be back.
The sequel is rumored to be a prequel that follows Mike and Sulley’s days at the University of Fear when they were enemies, before they became the best of friends. This certainly ties in with the new title.
