Pixar’s recent “Toy Story 3” is just the latest in an unprecedented string of 11 hit films in a row that have earned over $5.7Billion. To celebrate this unfathomable success and show the heart that lies at the center of Pixar, the Oakland Museum of California is hosting “Pixar: 25 Years of Animation”.
The 500 pieces of art on display here illustrate the history of Pixar, and the process that this studio’s artists & animators go through in creating their films. The process itself is all not much different from the way that animation was created back in Walt Disney’s day. Concept art is created using oils, pastels, and other mixed media, but now it includes digital graphics. With all these tools characters must be created, as well as a story and the world they inhabit.
The exhibition runs through January.
