If you could spend only one day with any Pixar individual

Archives
#1

Since this is my first and only

thread I have started here on PP, I would like to explain this as best of my effort as

possible:

[i]My focus is, if you could be able to spend one day Remember, only one with any

individual of the Pixar family just as you are, who would that person be? And what would you do with them, for

that such limited time?
There is No right or wrong,

good or bad post to this. I only want to see how you truly feel about the character you love or admire the most

for you without any obstruction. Tell us the things you would dearly, and truly be wanting to do with your

character for the day. But think well before you post if you believe in this. And if its any easier, explain it

in your very own way if you wish to do so, and if it has to be story long, let it be as long as is in line with

PP Forum posting rules. Lastly, I would like for your words to speak out from everyone else.[/i]

I will be posting mine within a short period of time from now of starting this thread.
Share to all of

us here of the current Pixar Planet community, your words of this thread!

Could you clarify something: do you mean person who works

at Pixar, or do you mean a character from a Pixar film?

RMS - I’m pretty sure he is referring to a character from a Pixar film. :wink:

Wow – great idea. I’ve always wanted to say this…

My statement and

selection is short, but rather personal and heartfelt to me…in a way. I’ve always had dreams of spending a day

with any cartoon character I dearly love and admire, but only in my fantasies has it ever occured. Concerning

Pixar, my wish is this:

[i]Picture yourself in an alcove shaped like a crescent moon, with a

pathway leading from the middle of the top of that alcove’s peak…and descending all the way down to a lush,

hidden beach long forgotten by sailors – a place where only the daring adventurer or abandoned scally-wag know

of its secret caves and its invisible, metaphorical treasures.

Upon the feathery-white sand, where the

waves just barely caress the shore, stand a battalion of small rocks and one large, pointed boulder over-looking

the many, countless pebbles of the ocean and its tidepools. Starfish remain plastered underneath rough, flat

rocks beneath the boulder…and anemones and diminuative fish tickle the sandy tidepool floor with their

tentacles and fins.

It is this quiet, human-barren setting that my imagining takes place. Sitting upon

that ash-painted boulder is myself; a book is in my hands and my legs are crossed in a peaceful, almost careless

fashion. Wearing any shoes or socks on my feet, I am not; but resting on my shoulder, a smile plastered on his

face and his eyes wide in ecstasy, is Remy. It’s the first time he has seen the beach…and the beauty of the

environment, with the sun setting on the horizon and a light breeze brushing his fur, is simply astounding to

him. And as for me: Well, I’m just happy to be doing the thing I love best: sitting on the beach, reading a

book, with a rat on my shoulder and the sun bidding another farewell to the world…[/i]

Yes,

it’s rather crazy, I know. But, that’s my dream. And if I play it to the most peaceful scores on the

Two Brothers cd, it’s even more entrancing. Heheh.

Firstly, nice idea DD. :smiley:

Secondly…one day? Gosh, that’s tough. Seriously tough. Because I always

know who I’d go for upon first instinct, yet to only have one day with him would tear me apart. Saying

goodbye…

But, then again, the idea of meeting Randall is a pretty amazing one. I don’t know what I’d

do with him for the day…I mean, a great idea would be to go to the Monster World, since it is a place that has

always intriuged me. We’d probably go to his favourite local coffee place, and chat about a lot of things. I’d

love it if he were able to open up to me, though the only way that would happen is if we somehow knew of each

other beforehand. I’d really just like to spend ‘a day in the life of Randall’, so to speak…Sort of comfort

him, and tell him that no matter what it might seem like, he’s not the only person in the world to go through

pain. I guess this would sort of be before the film itself, so I might give him a warning, or at least sort of

imply that he should be prepared for the worst to happen.

Then again, I’d love to see him at his best,

at the top of his game, but when that has happened (if it ever has) is never shown or implied in the

film…

I guess the ultimate day would be to go to the suburbs in Long Island, and visit Trees Lounge. The

place would be empty, of course, but to be in such a calm and beautiful place in which another character had

experienced a lot of turmoil would be very appropriate. I’d just love to see Randall being himself, to be

honest.

I think I’m going against

the general consensus here, but I think she means Pixar employee…I could be

wrong.

…Oh, well! :smiley:

As one who enjoys the inner

workings of everything, I would definitely pick to meat someone in the Technical Department at Pixar. (Or any

animation studio, for that matter) We all love Pixar?s talent in crafting wonderful story with great plots and

sound characters; but the thing that makes Pixar?s films so landmark and easy to identify is their use of

Computer Animation. Pixar basically invented the CG animated film, with other animation studios still scrambling

to catch up. :smiley:

More specifically, I would probably like to meet with Ed Catmull. One of Pixar?s

founders, he was a regular old computer geek. The short he created in college (who?s name escapes me) was the

first CG thing?ever! Only when he teamed up creative man John Lasseter was Catmull able to solidify his dream?a

90 minute CG animated film. I think it?s interesting to know what famous people like (food, clothes etc.) And I?d

would probably ask him a bunch of technical stuff that I?m not going to go into here, but I would also

pose:

[i]What is it like being in charge of WDFA?
How different (technically) is Disney

Animation Studios from Pixar?
What is your daily routine?
What do you usually eat for breakfast?
How

much Coffee do you think you drink in a day? Used to drink?
What kind of Car do you

drive?[/i]

?and a lot more concerning his personal life. (Heheh) I think it?s interesting to

know what famous people like (food, clothes etc.)?So I guess that would be most of my questions. (laughs) :wink:

On the other hand, I would also like to meet a technical guy at Pixar ? one closer to the bottom of the

ladder. I?m really looking into this kind of job, and I would obviously have to start somewhere ? and it would

just be amazing to see what he (or she) does daily. I think many would be surprised at how critical these people

are?the only thing you see in a Pixar film is their work, after all.

Producer ? Man, I?ve never really

understood this job. You initiate, work out the deals and find the right people?then handle all the necessary

little tidbits from day one ?till opening day. And yet, they never get any press! Maybe it?s because people like

hearing about their favorite directors and actors (and maybe their more important, I don?t know) but it seems

almost unfair these critical people never get any attention. If I were to meet one, I?d ask him how he/she feels

about this and hear his/her daily routine, too.

That about wraps it up for me, I guess. A lot of people

here are going to say animators and directors – but I think closer to a ?behind the scenes? person would be my

pick.
:wink:

#6

I could not and would not pick just one. I would want to

spend one day with all of the members of the Incredibles. There is no way that I could choose! I would be so

hard. I could do anything with anyone of them.

#7

Now, looking back and seeing this was in the Feature Film section, I think you

guys are right! I feel so stupid! :blush:

Well, I see

Mike, from Monsters Inc. to be one of the finest Pixar characters around. He?s just

so consistent to his personality; I love it! If I were to talk to him, we wouldn?t really just ?talk?: we would

have a sorta ?guy?s day out? party with some joy riding in his 6-wheel drive SUV (once he gets it fixed), fool

around on the Scare Floor and heck, maybe even a Monster Truck rally! One thing I?ve always thought ironic is

scaring Monsters?like Boo did. So what we could do is get everyone?s kid-scaring schedule, then hide out in the

rooms that they?re planning to scare. Then BANG, when the monster opens the door

?George would be perfect?we give the Old Waternoose Growl. Make them pee their

pants! :laughing: :laughing:

This, I believe, would be the best way to get to know Mike ? just hanging out doing

some fun stuff. :smiley:

#8

Gasduude - Heheh – you’re funny. :laughing:

Yeah, I have to admit that it

would be a very wacky and interesting experience to spend a day with Mike Wazowski. You’d have to ad-lib every

few seconds. (snigger) :stuck_out_tongue:

#9

[size=92]Aw man, I… I just

have no idea… :confused:

Well, it would be cool to shrink myself and spend a day with all of the toys in

Andy’s room, but that’s more than one so it doesn’t really count. And spending a day with Dory could just get

a tad irksome, but her upbeat and optimistic personality is just… unmissable. :slight_smile: And I’d also like to spend a

day with - yep, you guessed it - Ramone. We could paint all day in his body art shop, and then go cruisin’.

Maybe I’ll invite the DRHs over too, just to add some extra “jazz” to the

scene.[/size]

Am

happy and excited to see all of the current replies currently made on here concerning my point of

subject.

Gasduude:
LoL
You really scraped

the thread there on your first post and made mistake!
But its allright because I still truly liked what you

stated about being with a Pixar Animation Studios employee for a day, as well as quite interesting

:wink:

All:
My consensus with the thread was purely intended for such persons

here on PP to tell about what they would do with an individual or character of a

Pixar film for a day, not a person employed at Pixar Studios. And to go more precise with [i]RMS

Oceanic[/i] response, the word ‘character’ was indeed already stated in my thread post as i’ am

sure the rest who have posted already had seen it while reading my post.

Yes, I knew this would be hard

for some to answer, and that was what I meant this thread to be about. I want to see Pixar Planet forum people

think about this truly and not put some kind of common answer that fits with everyone else. To say, if you have

more words to say about what you have already said in your post (If have replied already), please put them on too

by editing your current posts for me and the rest of us to see since usually starting it first and coming back to

it again helps to stir up the rest of what you would have also wanted to say in the first time go.
If you have

multiple characters that you could only think about spending a day with and not only one as also said by

The Stars Swordsman, go ahead and tell me it as well by stating what would you do

with each single character in a whole that you would want to spend the day with. Tell me in sections for every

one, or indicate which characters if you find saying it altogether is much easier.

#11

Well, one of the things I would do with the Incredibles would be to fight crime with them.

After that, maybe spend the rest of the day having fun in their “normal” selves.

#12

The Star Swordsman - Aw man,

that would be so cool: to fight crime with The Incredibles for a day. I know I sound

like a total geek, but I would love to participate in something like that if I had the chance.

(heheh)

Dory’s Defender - Well, I pretty much mentioned everything I wanted

to list concerning what I would do with Remy if I had a chance to spend a day with him.

Besides the whole

“beach” thing, I would more than likely read to him in bed. That’s what I used to do with my rats –

it was one of the most comforting things, too. But I’m getting off-topic. Heheh.

#13

Mitch: Well, it is my own little fatasy. This iis what I

would love to do with one day with the Incredibles.

#14

[size=92]All righty then… :sunglasses:

With Andy’s toys, I would (being their

size) hang around them all when they’re doing their normal stuff as toys, which is… um… hm, what do they do?

Play cards? Spy on the neighbours? Lol. But I bet whatever it is, I’m likely to enjoy it, since it could easily

contain normal toy mischief.

With Dory, I would simply go swimming in the ocean with her and we’d talk

about stuff, even if she would forget what we’re talking about every ten seconds. :laughing: Maybe even go to school

with Nemo, and learn about ocean life.

And I already said what I would do with Ramone, but here I’ll go

into more detail: I’d have breakfast with them all at Flo’s, and then go to Ramone’s store and help him paint

the customers or make up custom designs (boy, THAT would be fun! I love art). After that I might go and grab my

bro’s car and go cruising with Ramone, maybe even to Wheel Well (the path L & S took in the movie), or go

racing with Lightning. Who knows? The possibilities are endless. :wink:[/size]

#15

Hmmmmm. One day with any Pixar character?

Here it

comes…

PV and Tony sittin’ in a tree…:laugh: I brought it on myself

this time, Mitch! :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry my answer lacks an explanation. I’ll spare you

guys the fluff. :wink:

~~=oP

#16

Fine PV,

I’ll finish it for you. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

Fine, spare us the cuteness. But I was waiting so longly for it.

If you don’t want to share, could you at least PM me the details? :unamused:

#17

Aw man – you

stole my line! :laughing: :stuck_out_tongue:

#18

I am a person who would love to hang out durring the Glory Days as well. It would be

cool to see the Supers of the past do what they do best in the age of Supers.

#19

DD - Yeah, I feel so dumb!!! I’m sorry, I would delete if I could! :blush:

A day with the Supers would be cool! :smiley:

#20

LoL
That would be the only bad thing about making posts

on a thread
*[i]Cannot delete them without the Admins coming into the thread to know What, was

going on[/i]*
But I see that once you post a reply you can actually click on the delete text on the

top right of your message. But wondering if that can be done automatically or would it involve the

Admin/Moderator to take action before it can be erased.
