Enrolling Soon...

The final trailer for the Lamp's prequel to "Monsters Inc." is out...

Pixar's "Monster University" will be out June 21 and the word from people who've seen it is that it's good.  It's remarkably fresh and entertaining, with a surprising amount of heart.  Now, is it really surprising that a Pixar film has heart?

The great thing about the Emeryville Campus of Disney North, is that John Lasseter and his Brain Trust run it.  They are the heart surgeons that created this little bit of animated Nirvana.  And thankfully, he's well on his way to making the Hat Building a place filled with heart as well.  Animationally speaking, of course.

Monster University should be a lot of fun, not to mention the trailer in front of it...

Frozen In Time...

Just a little less than a month from now and "Monsters University" will be out...

But what many people will be happy about is getting their first real look at Walt Disney Animation Studios' next feature: "Frozen".  The first teaser will be in front of the Lamp's animated prequel.  Now, it's a teaser, not a full trailer.  It's meant to give you the flavor of the film.  It'll be a sweet little scene (not of the main characters) that shows off the humor.  One that gets you ready for what's to come.

A frozen treat, if you will...

Campus Tour...

Boo... 

Two new posters for the Lamp's next film are out...



Pixar released two teaser posters for "Monster University" today. One is the image above, and the other is a French poster (read: International) that offers the tone of the film - Revenge of the Monster Nerds? This looks to be an entertaining staple for Emeryville, but I'm most excited about the next few original films they have in development for 2014, 2015 and 2016.

 


But until then, we'll have a fun tour of the campus...

Higher Learning...

How Sully and Mike met...







So today we got our first preview of Pixar's first prequel...

The Lamp released a teaser for the upcoming "Monster University" animated feature scheduled for 2013. Not only did they release the teaser, they released it in four different formats with slight variations.

Teaser One.
Teaser Two.
Teaser Three.
Teaser Four.

Now you know what it's like to learn how to scare to care...

Art School...

How many years before they graduated...




As the release date gets closer, we get to know more about the Lamp's 2013 film...

Here is a piece of production art that was released today. Sully and Mike going through the gates as they learn to scare. Well before they became the championship team at Monster's Inc. they had to learn how to. And this film will apparently tell that story. Enjoy this as a small peek beneath the curtain. Tomorrow the first teaser will be released.



And we'll get our first animated look at what this film looks like...

Hat Tip to Big Screen Animation.

Reboot Bumped Up...

Not just a reboot of ralph...


Well, it looks like 2012 isn't going to be as bleak for Walt Disney Animation Studios as we thought...

I'm sure you've seen the news, about the Lamp's schedule change? The sequel/prequel to "Monsters' Inc." now given a name: "Monster University," will get delayed and pushed into the next year.

It will now come out on June 21st 2013. Which may sound like sad news, but the good news is that WDAS's "Reboot Ralph" is ahead of its March 22nd, 2013 scheduled opening, and the Mouse has decided to move it up to fill the hole. So 2012 will not actually be the blank space for the Hat Building that we were expecting.

This could present the possibility of a 2013 release of Chris Williams' "King of the Elves" if the stars align...
