'Coco' is a Beautiful, Moving Film Worth Remembering

6 years in the making, Coco has finally been released to the world.

It brings me great joy to say that Coco is not only the best film of the year, but one of the most moving and creative films I have ever seen. I expect nothing less from Pixar.

'Inside Out' Opens with $91 Million, Marks the Biggest Opening Weekend for an Original Film

This is probably the most intense weekend at the box office I've ever experienced! With Inside Out and Jurassic World going head-to-head, Inside Out had some stellar competition. Ultimately, though, Inside Out only made it to second place, breaking Pixar's streak of films constantly topping the box office on opening weekend. But that doesn't mean it couldn't break a pretty huge record along the way! Let's take a look at the numbers!

New Voice Cast for 'The Good Dinosaur' Revealed

As you all know, The Good Dinosaur when through countless changes in production. This, of course, meant a director change, pushing the movie back until this November, and completely reworking the story.

How the Art of Animation is Helping me Cope With Loss

This is going to be a lot more personal than my other blog posts, but I am not afraid of writing about my personal life on here, as long as it is related to animation. In this case, this beautiful art form has been helping me through a very tough time right now. I should point out that I am not one of those really depressed and unhappy individuals. In fact, I think I'm quite the opposite. However, it is perfectly normal for me to be having a hard time dealing with what I am about to tell you and it is also perfectly normal for me to find ways to overcome this. I am here to tell you how this, unfortunately, underappreciated art form has been helping me through an extremely tough time in my life.
