Pixar News Catch Up: Dinosaurs, Toy Story 3, Peeps!

A few odds and ends from around the net to share with you today.

  • Remember that rumored Pixar Dinosaur project? It’s most likely a collaboration with the Discovery Channel entitled Reign of the Dinosaurs scheduled for the 2010 or 2011 showing on TV. Stay tuned for more details, but here’s the description:
    • Avatar meets Jurassic Park as the latest paleontological research meets Hollywood story telling.  Discovery Channel teams with the top creative talent from Disney and Pixar to create an unparalleled television event.  New creatures abound in a wondrous new world – giant dinos with Freddy Krueger style clawed hands, pygmy T-rex, frogs so big they can eat dinosaurs.   Learn the latest in understanding of dinosaur behaviors with exotic mating dances, the inner workings of the T-rex’s nuclear family,   dinosaurs drunk on fermenting fruit,  dinosaurs in apocalyptic events, the underwater birthing of mosasaurs, and prehistory’s angriest mammals.  A daring and provocative new chapter in television, REIGN OF THE DINOSAURS is bound to be the benchmark for all future dinosaur natural history programming.
  • The summer issue of D23 magazine will feature three different Toy Story 3 covers (Buzz, Woody and Jessie)..You can check out all three covers over at the official D23 site.
  • Have you seen Juan Pablo Bravo’s amazing 100 Pixar characters to scale? Please take a look…
  • Another wonderful chance to visit Pixar HQ for annual Emery ED fundraiser on May 27th. Goodies will include a VIP reception, auction and a chance to see Toy Story 3 early. More details can be found here.
  • Test your Toy Story knowledge (along with some tidbits about the films) over at the Disney Fans Insider
  • Finally, did you see this ultra-cool Up diorama made entirely from Peeps that won a Washington Post contest? Way cool….

    But I wouldn't get my hopes up that they will answer your email. They are very busy…I'm sure the Emeryville ED event will include a look around, but remember, it's a closed studio and they are working on many productions that haven't even been announced yet.

    thanks
