Jessica Barnes from Cinematical says (be warned she confesses to have never watched a Pixar movie from start to finish):
The film will mark Pixar’s 10th animated feature film, and the story has been compared to a re-telling of Don Quixote. It centers on a man in his late 70′s who joins up with a befuddled park ranger for some sort of adventure. The official description from Pixar describes our hero as the kind of guy who ‘travels the globe, fights beasts and villains, and eats dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon’ — aww, I’m sold on the cuteness already. But then again, I guess I’m not the best judge when it comes to Pixar.

Found this neat spot via Feed (click image to play), reminds me of those Guiness Record Breaker attempts, only with a bigger headache.
The fine people at Czar in Brusselles embrace their inner-pyromania for one of the best holiday-themed clips ever. Such an incredibly labor-intensive project with such calm and delightful results. Agency: Famous, director Raf Wathion, production Czar, music and sound design: Sonicville. Thanks to vmuriel for the tip and NoFat Clips for the credits.

9.99 Trailer

Great post by Jerry over at Cartoon Brew:
I caught an advance screening of Tatia Rosenthal’s $9.99 (Thank you, Asifa-Hollywood) a few weeks ago, and it’s a remarkable film. Smart, funny and at the same time, deadly serious – it stands with Ari Folman’s Waltz With Bashir, Bill Plympton’s Idiots and Angels and Nina Paley’s Sita Sings The Blues as the advance guard of the coming wave of independently made adult animated features.
The film opens Friday (12/12) in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Music Hall on Wilshire Blvd. It’s absolutely worth seeing and highly recommended.
I think it looks great too and will look forward to seeing it when it comes to the UK.
