Ratatouille: Oswalt, Visiting Pixar and Special Effects

Pixar invited MovieWeb to the “super-campus”, for “an extensive look at the inner workings of the world’s leading animation studio.” Their tour was led by Pixar University Dean, Randy Nelson, all leading up to a sit-down in the editing room with Brad Bird.

The tour served as an impressive look at how positive reinforcement and intensive thought feeds the machine of making the most successful movie-for-movie studio of all time. It also served as a way to show the world that anyone employed anywhere else has, in comparison, a really uncool work environment.
