I recently sent a letter to Andrew Stanton this summer, so we’ll see if anything comes of it. I decorated it (like I usually do) with Nemo and WALL-E characters on the envelope.
Cool. Let me know what you get back, lennonluvr9. I want to know if Pixar have gotten any WALL•E prints in, or if they are still sending out postcards and stickers and whatnot.
I’m getting kind of anxious for my reply because I sent it out a couple weeks ago and I still got nothing back. Usually, this would mean very little, but considering I live somewhat close to Emeryville, it’s got me worried about my letter >.>
They might be going through a busy period right now, with finishing production on Up. Give it another week or two and I’m sure it will come.
i’m getting a little worried also because it’s been a month (in 2 days) since i sent my letter off and i havent gotten a reply yet
Hmm, I don’t really have an answer for why it’s taking so long… Usually Pixar are very organised, maybe they are just really busy at the moment? Nothing much you can do except wait.
I GOT A REPLY YAY!
Here is a photo of my signed photo and letter:
& my collection :
Congraulations, Stop & Breathe!
If you don’t mind, could you tell me what day you send the letter out, and did you get your response today?
It’s been 4 weeks and I still didn’t get a response, so i just wanted to know…
Hey I sent the letter on the august 5th and recieved it 12th september
hope you get your one soon
Okay phew. I thought it was only me who was taking a month to receive it. Thanks, i hope to get mine soon
congrats Stop & Breathe!
I need to send mine out still, but i hope to get a Ratatouille one too XD
Stop & Breath - You may want to change the images so your address is censored out of the photos. I’m glad you finally received your autographs! I have no idea why it took a bit longer than usual, but maybe Pixar was a bit busier than normal. At least you got them, though. The quality’s really great isn’t it?
Thanks for showing us a photo of your collection! You should post your photo in this thread. (I’ll request to move it from the archives.)
Yay! Glad to hear that you got something back, Stop & Breathe! What’s the gist of the letter? Is it like, ‘thanks for being a Pixar fan!’
Stop & Breathe - Congratulations on receiving a reply and an autograph from Pixar Animation Studios!
Perhaps the reason why it took so long for them to send it to you is because they’re working to finish Up before it’s released? Just a thought…

So today I looked in the mailbox another time on the way home, and was saddened when I saw the void within it.
…Fast forward to my house. It seems my sister picked up the mail today, and she put my response from Pixar in my Wall-e “Shrine.”
So finally, I present to you guys:
I wonder if the people at Pixar go onto these forums - specifically this thread to kind of see what type of people they signed their autographs out to. If they do, then thanks a ton Elissa Knight! You made my day! No! My life!
Congrats, directive! That’s so cool! Makes me want to write to Elyssa Knight myself! I think there would be a high chance that she (and other Pixarians) may read this thread, yeah.
Aww, she even put a little heart next to her name! That’s so cool, directive. Loving the address, too.
I got an autograph from John Lasseter at the end of July, but I think it is just a preprint. Still cool though! His autograph is on a photo of the “cast” of Toy Story. I would post a picture, but I somehow managed to leave that at home when I left for school.
directive - Dude, that’s awesome! Such a sweet reply, too. And I’m with lizardgirl: I love the address. (heheh)
Hannahmation - How neat! I’d love to see a picture of it.

I’d write to any one of them but … I dunno - I just feel stupid saying “I really want to work there one day” when I’m not even sure if I’ll stick to the life of a novelist or not. I mean, I don’t even have a decent animation program! Fat chance.
It is nice to get responses though … I’ll think about it. I’m still procrastinating on contacting other relatively famous peoples.
