USA<\/span> Today<\/a> is running a rich feature<\/a> on Up including sections dedicated to Pixar’s past and future and an interactive timeline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The main article<\/a> starts off with a story about a couple who bond over Pixar movies. It’s a sweet tale of how the two lovebirds mark special occasions with these special movies. In the first few sections you’ll find USA<\/span> Today’s non-spoilerific synopsis of the film with quotes from viewers weaved in, as well as a response to the Wall Street naysayers.<\/p>\n

In the next section, the author takes Lasseter’s famous quote, "Quality is the best business plan", to the next level! This part of the article highlights the directors that make Pixar what it is and the new directors which will redefine the studio with their upcoming projects. Rejoining the 3D Revolution<\/strong> basically goes over how Pixar’s been making "3D" films all along, but that we only got to see them in 2D… until now. Restocking the Talent Pool<\/strong> talks about the new directors coming onto the scene. Last but not least there’s Repairing the Gender Gap<\/strong> which is a response to the recent question coming up around the ‘net: where are Pixar’s female leads? This section focuses on Brenda Chapman and her upcoming Pixar fairy tale which is "driven" by Merida "as opposed to having things happen to her. And there is no waiting for a prince." <\/p>\n

Also of note is the interactive feature that chronicles each of Pixar’s 10 film. Laden with quotes from the directors and a clip of their favorite scene from their films, this is a fun way of anticipating the next installment in the Pixar canon. You can find that piece right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What are your opinions on the subject matter covered here? Enjoy reading this very fleshed out article, I highly recommend it!<\/em><\/p>\n
