our animators are absolutely unreal. the first time i saw this alberto shot i choked on the air in my throat and started coughing so violently i had to leave the room
the single hardest thing about writing for pixar is resisting the urge to unilaterally announce stuff like "giuseppe the fish eventually escapes to australia and is the great-great-great-grandfather of nemo the fish. this now is canon"
WHY YOU SHOULD SEE
#ELEMENTAL
THIS WEEKEND
a biased list from a guy whose friends made it
it's astonishing. it's gorgeous, funny, and profound. it's visually unlike anything i've ever seen. it's fire and water, walking around new york, falling in love.
In a city where fire, water, land, & air residents live together, a fiery young woman & a go-with-the-flow guy will discover something elemental: How much they have in common. Directed by Peter Sohn and produced by Denise Ream, Disney and Pixar’s Elemental releases June 16, 2023
i’ve been meaning for a couple of days to post something on the idea of “stakes” and one of the things i feel proudest of about
#luca
—how simple it is. (at least on the outside.)
Nielsen revealed Pixar's 'LUCA' was the most-streamed movie of 2021 in the U.S. with 10.6 billion minutes of viewing.
'MOANA' (2016) got the second place for second year in a row with 8.9B, followed by 'RAYA' with 8.3B.
"as one of the writers of luca, i am authorizing myself to declare that if you opened the driver's-side door of any car from CARS, you would see a little passenger that looks exactly like a soul from SOUL"

's HOPPERS, the robot beaver movie i have been lucky enough to spend every day thinking about since late 2021
played scopa with these guys once a week, usually got cleaned out. merciless. i wanted to seem cool, so i pretended to know the rules. this was a huge mistake. although by the end i was beginning to suspect there actually were no rules and they were just messing with me
this brilliant moment was conceived and boarded by

, one of the most original story artists i've ever met. her style is completely unique and the world needs more of it
nice people overall, but they really had something against sea monsters. oh and a great local cinema. they did a jules verne retrospective that was fun
not saying these kids were bad at soccer though. the little one scored a goal between my legs and then did a victory dance that was so humiliating, i had to leave town for a while
i'm feeling proud and excited this morning about
#luca
and i want to draw attention to one very specific thing that is important to me. i now have written three american movies and not one of them has a gun in it
one way to think about a sequel is just, did it make me feel the things that the first one did. INSIDE OUT 2 absolutely did for me. that emotional tidal wave of remembering what it was like to be a kid and feeling it explained in this gorgeous funny madcap genius way. GO SEE IT
about to have no internet for two weeks so i just wanted to say—i have been enjoying, more than i can tell you, seeing the love for

hey this tweet is for you if you cancelled some big or small plans this winter in order to protect yourself, people you love, and/or people you don't even know, and now you're sitting around reading twitter and feeling sad: you are good and i love you
intolerance is bad, and intolerance of intolerance is good. it is just amazing to see self-avowedly smart, well-educated people struggling with this incredibly simple idea
ok fine i'll do an end-of-year movie review thread. i promise to be objective

librarians tell me the same story over and over: a kid thought he hated books. then they gave him my book. he liked it. now he's reading more books.
that's why my book is on the shelf. that's why we need LOTS OF KINDS OF BOOKS on the shelf. to get as many kids reading as we can.

my favorite part of working at pixar is making absurdly talented and wonderful friends.

let's get the ball rolling: ANTZ 2 is in the pipeline for spring 2024! it's great news for the beloved pixar franchise's diehard "fantz." the sequel picks up where the original left off: with a giant foot crushing the woody allen ant. josh gad is attached

hey just weighing in 🤓 i love the idea that alberto identifies with the big fish/moon—i will say on

, one intention in writing that line was for sure to give a little glimpse of alberto's desire both to protect (luca) and be protected (his dad). these charts are amazing!!
