Attention WALL-E Fans: Pixar/Disney Thank You Card Project!

So, I mentioned this idea a while ago, and I’m finally gonna do it. This should be fun. ^^

Oh, BTW, this is a surprise. I know we have a few Pixarian/Disney staff members of the forum. I ask that you please keep the hush on this a work, k? Thank you. ^^

So, for many of us, WALL-E has touched us over the summer. So, I say we should thank Pixar for making this film for us to enjoy.

And what about Disney? They gave us a ton of great merchandise, have kept the movie in theaters for a good long time, and are doing some awesome DVD/Bluray releases for it. They deserve a thanks too!

What better way than a thank you card? Well, more like a booklet, really.

Submissions for this are gonna be needed by the last day of October. That gives me enough time to get it all together, because I’d love for them to get this as close to November 18th as I can. So that’s the deadline.

Anybody can sign, and for the artists in the group, we also need some artwork to make it look pretty. A few fanfics will be included also, but only 2 or 3, and nothing too long.

The Pixar and Disney cards are each gonna have their own message. Here they are…


Dear Pixar,

Thank you for the inspiration, heartwarming, and fun you brought us with WALL-E this summer! Some went “awww!” over WALL-E and EVE, some cheered at the action/explosions, some laughed as M-O went on his epic cleaning mission, and some couldn’t say anything because we were just that amazed, but all of us were touched.

P.S. Keep working hard on Up! We’re looking forward to it!


Dear Disney,

Thank you for helping Pixar bring us WALL-E! It was a fantastic movie and we all enjoyed it! You guys did a great job advertising it, and gave a fans a ton of stuff to celebrate over including great merchandise and awesome DVD/Bluray releases! Thanks for believing in such an unorthodox but beautiful film!


Signatures

So, anyways, if you want to sign either or both the cards, here’s what you have to do. It’s simple. Make some kinda signature for yourself, digitally or traditional/scanned, and post it on this thread before the deadline, and you’ll be added. When you post, comment if you want the signature to go towards the Disney one, the Pixar one, or both.

There are a few guidelines for the signature though.

  1. You may use either your real name or a username. Whatever you feel comfortable with.

  2. The signature can be any color, so feel free to sign with your favorite. However, keep in mind it’s gonna be on white paper, so year.

  3. Please leave the background of your signature white or transparent if you can do that.

  4. Personal notes are fine, but not a paragraph please.

  5. Please try and keep the signature a reasonable size. Or I’ll just shrink it anyway.

Fan Art

You can also submit fan art for the cover/back/inner decor of the card. It can be new for the card or it can be something you’ve drawn in the past. All I ask it that it be WALL-E and not anything inappropriate.

If you wish to submit a piece of fan art, please submit it on this topic, an say which card you want it on or both. Feel free to do multiple pieces/different ones for the different cards, but keep in mind that I’m gonna make sure everybody who submitted has one on before I put on second pictures, so if there’s one you especially want on the card, make sure you say it.

Fan Fiction

Writers can submit fan fiction, but only a total of 5 fanfics will be sent between the two cards (well… 6. I hope it’s okay that I add one of my own to the mix, since I’m putting this thing together and all ^^;) 3 on each. If you want yours considered, please submit a link to it here (pasting whole fics will clog this place up fast) and it’ll be added to the consideration list. Poetry is allowed as well. Deadline for this is a week before the deadline for the rest of the card, so people have time to vote on which 5 are gonna go. Please state if you want to enter your fic for the disney one or the pixar one or both. You can enter multiple fics, but if more than one of yours wins, only the highest voted is gonna be sent and a runner up will be picked. We wanna show as much of the fandom as possible here, so year. Fics can be new or old. Doesn’t matter. Just, keep them one shots. 3 pages long tops.

**

So, that’s everything! Phew! Please submit your contest for this ASAP! This is gonna be fun! ^^ Feel free to ask any questions here. ^^

Nice idea, Netbug! I’m sure Pixar would appreciate a thank you gesture. =)

Will you be emailing it to Pixar, or sending it by post? I’d like to draw and send them something, of which I could send to you first and you can include it in the package. It won’t be much… only one page. Would this be ok?

It’s gonna be physical mail. I’m gonna put it together on the comp though. Kinda do a collage of the fanart people send. What, do you mean like a physical original drawing? PM me on that.

That’s such a cool idea, Netbug009! If I have the time, I might draw a little something with my signature. :smiley: I totally agree- Pixar and Disney deserve our thanks!

Neat idea, Netbug009! :smiley:


Here is my submission:

Please let me know if the dimensions of this piece of artwork are acceptable, and as to whether or not the little personal note I attached to the submission is too long. (I know that you said not to extend such notes into paragraphs, but I felt compelled to pour out my deepest compliments to the folks at Pixar…)

– Mitch

Ooooh, talk about a jaw dropper Mitch! it looks really nice!

The Star Swordsman - Thank you very much! :smiley:

That’s an old piece of artwork, though. I composed it a few months back…

– Mitch

Well, looks like a lot of effort. And you’re welcome!

Any sorta set deadline for this thing. Something us procrastinators can work the night before on.

Great idea, Netbug009! Is it too late to submit a fan fiction for the project? Here is mine just in case you still need any.

Gaaaah. There’s a typo in there somewhere in there that I saw before, but I can’t find it.

Neat idea! I’ll have to post my drawing of EVE again just in case you want to use it. :slight_smile:

I still think that garden scene would be beautiful…send it!

Maybe pixar will just look at it…

You got a beautiful peice there Mitch ! :smiley:

Okay so, here’s my submission, you can use it in either card if you want, just make sure you let me know if you do.

Hope I’m not too late!


It’s, uhhh, not much, but I worked for a VERY long time on getting them completely accurate to their designs, since I did make this solely for the card, after all.

Oh, and I would like this to be included on both cards, please. ^^ I’d feel bad giving one company appreciation over the other, heheh.

Thank you guys!

I’m extending the deadline two weeks. I know it’s cutting it close, but guys? We need signatures. Thank you for the art and fiction submissions, but we also just need folks to contribute a signature. Even if you just type your username in MSpaint and submit it, a signature would be appreciated from everybody who is able to and enjoyed the movie. Thanks guys! ^^

This might be a crazy suggestion, but how about sending this to Pixar as a Thanksgiving present?

At this rate it may be about then that it gets there, in hich case I may ad a “P.S. Happy Thanksgiving” but I was more going towards the DVD release date.

we are giving thanks…

I’ll try to get a sig in…i didn’t realize i could do this till now.

I think a lot of people didn’t. I’m trying to spread word more. points to signature

Oh, and guys? A little while ago, we had some folks wondering about actually mailing me their pictures? I’m sorry to sa I’m not going to let people do that. If I allow everybody to, it makes me feel uncomfortable cause I’d be giving m info to a lot of people I don’t know. If I just let my friends do it, It’d be kinda unfair to everybody else. So no mail-in entries. Sorry.
