A house flying with a million balloons, an old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, a little boy Russell, a new Pixar comedy. UP – a film that will be released soon, in May. It’s written byBob Peterson, who also wrote Finding Nemo, and directed by Peter Docter, who also directed Monster Inc.
I wonder: who is that tiny bird from the house? I’ll find it only in the summer…ha..
But I find other juicy details in the Pixar’s synopsis: “Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. Up takes audience on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures.”
He is BURN-E, the welding robot from Wall-E film. If you mised him, you’re write: he apears just for a few moment in the film. But Pixar released a 7:35″ short beatifull film with him as main character. I love the Ode to Joy intervention, that flower thing : ) and many other details, I’ll let you discover them:
The green Monster holding the duck, has lost some weight. Actually he got flat, from toy to …brooch. Yep, a brooch, Oana D liked him so much that she loved to wear it. Now he’s her “Little green baby” as she likes to call him : )
There are only 14 days until the Coraline‘s story in the new discovered world, will be released. Soon we will find out what’s up with that black buttons eyes. So, if you liked “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, you should like Coraline too, because it is written and directed by the same Henry Selick.
Wether you like Henry Selick or not, you should see Coraline, cause is the First Handmade Movie shot in 3-D! All the characters and backgrounds are created by hand. The hair is designed in Hair Department from Puppet fabrication, leaded by Suzanne Moulton. The house is reproduced on a tiny scale, the hands are miniatures, the forest of cherry blossoms is made from popcorns! Just see this:
Look at the American Toy’s Story written by Perpettualy15. If you what to improve it, please, write a comment. Romanian Toy’s Story will come soon… it shouldn’t be a very long story : )
