Stanley Kubrick And Pixar’s Powers Combine For “Toy Shining”
2 hours ago | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Here’s your fun, offbeat post of the day. Kudos to Bd for finding this gem from Kyle Lambert, who managed to meld Toy Story and The Shining into some brilliant pieces of art. Meet Toy Shining, one of the weirdest combinations ever, putting your favorite Pixar characters into your favorite moments from Stanley Kubrick’s classic film. You’ll never look at Woody and company the same way again.
My favorites are probably the barrel o’ monkeys, the typewriter turned phone, and all of the terrifying Woody/Nicholson faces. For more images and the complete set of Toy Shining art, and to check out Kyle Lambert’s artwork, please go check out his website.

The 5 Worst Things About Pixar
2 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It’s hard to think of a studio more singularly adored than Pixar Animation Studios, the creators of “Wall-e,” “Toy Story” and “Finding Nemo.” Of course, they weren’t always everybody’s favorite. The studio started out as an experimental, computer-based component to George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic effects house, one that Lucas had so little faith in that he promptly sold the team to Apple founder Steve Jobs, who looked at Pixar as a well to sell sophisticated graphics processors (the initial short films that created so much buzz and attention were supposed to serve as mere tech demonstrations). The artists at Pixar, however always had one clear goal in mind: a feature-length animated movie, groundbreaking in the same ways Walt Disney’s “Snow Whit and the Seven Dwarfs” was way back in 1937. Pixar accomplished this (with Disney’s help) in 1995 with “Toy Story” and since then have gone »

With Star Wars and Princesses, Disney Now Has Six of the Top 10 Licensed Franchises
20 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
As studios produce more summer tenptoles based on established brands, they’re looking to take a larger share of the nearly $50 billion in licensed merchandise sales generated from film and TV characters in the U.S. and Canada in 2012.
Last year, Disney dominated the entertainment category with 80% marketshare, generating $39.4 billion. Company again ranked No. 1 as the world’s largest licensor, according to the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers’ Assn.
Through its purchases of Marvel and Lucasfilm, Disney now has six of the top 10 franchises in the world: Disney Princess (No. 1), “Star Wars” (No. 2), Winnie the Pooh (No. 3), “Cars” (No. 4), Mickey & Friends (No. 6) and “Toy Story” (No. 8), with Disney Fairies (No. 11), and Spider-Man (No. 16) in the top 20.
The next studio, according to Lima, was Warner Bros., which came in at No. 7 with a $6 billion haul, consistent with previous years. It’s doing well this summer with merchandise tied to “Man of Steel. »

Blu-ray Review: Kids Deserve Better Than ‘Escape From Planet Earth’
17 June 2013 8:44 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Not only have I been a longtime fan of great children’s films like those produced by Disney and Studio Ghibli over the years but I’m now a parent and absolutely adore the feeling of passing along my favorite films like “Spirited Away,” “Dumbo,” “The Little Mermaid,” and “Toy Story” along to my little ones. My children will never see “Escape From Planet Earth.” As someone who not only sees nearly every animated film in his profession but has a new appreciation for them given my being a parent, I feel qualified to say this is one of the worst children’s films of the last decade. It’s aggressively annoying with awful character design and a screenplay that is clearly trying to teach children a lesson about boredom.
Rating: 1.5/5.0
Why is it so hard for the non-major studios to break into CGI animation? Why is it mostly »

Much Ado About Nothing – review
17 June 2013 7:05 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Joss Whedon's California-set Much Ado, filmed in black and white over 12 days, is a charming and witty triumph
Reading this on mobile? Click here to watch video
There was a great fear in the 1960s and 70s that various respected directors who'd moved into making epics and blockbusters would be unable to return, even occasionally, to more modest productions. Some of them didn't, most notably David Lean. Some of them did, most impressively John Huston with Fat City, Wise Blood and The Dead. The same query was raised over Francis Ford Coppola and, more recently, hangs over Christopher Nolan. But the 49-year-old Joss Whedon has triumphantly answered the question.
After scripting Buffy the Vampire Slayer for TV and the first Toy Story for the cinema, Whedon rose fairly rapidly to direct The Avengers with a budget of $220m. His producers apparently insisted that between the long shooting schedule on »

Joss Whedon: A Life in Pictures Review
17 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Joss Whedon is a man of many talents. He’s written and directed some of my favourite TV shows and films of all time, with his latest film, Much Ado About Nothing, opening over the weekend on our shores. So when the possibility arose to attend BAFTA’s Joss Whedon: A Life in Pictures on Friday night, I naturally jumped at the opportunity.
Of all of the people in the industry, Whedon’s work has had the greatest influence on me. I grew up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and have had nothing but love for everything I’ve seen Whedon do since then.
Talking to a sold-out audience at BAFTA’s Princess Anne Theatre in Piccadilly, interviewed by the BBC’s Francine Stock, the evening started at the beginning, with his childhood.

Well, it’s sad news for Tom Hiddleston fans, because it looks like Joss Whedon has confirmed that Loki won’t be making an appearance in The Avengers 2. “Everyone is going to be looking for the Loki-Hulk smash moment and you’ll be looking for [a quim moment]. First of all, imitating what I did before is the surest way to do it not as well. Second of all, Loki’s not there to say those terrible things. Although I do think we should bring the word back, not as an insult, it’s just a nice word.”

Six Of The Best (and Worst) – Animated Films
17 June 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Launching into this is always going to be a fairly thankless exercise. The sheer number of animated films makes this tricky enough, let alone the variety in style, tone and technique.
Classic hand-drawn animation (The Jungle Book), anime/manga (Fist of the North Star), CG animation (Toy Story), overlaid animation (rotoscoping – A Scanner Darkly), stop-motion (Chicken Run), performance capture (Beowulf). We could go on. Indeed a Top Ten list could be compiled for any one of those techniques and you would still come nowhere near scraping the barrel.
It is indeed a rich art form. So, at the risk of reducing the list too much and also at the risk of leaving out too many beloved films, I’m going to go for range and variety rather than trying to rank every animated film in order of quality and then skim off the top six.

Box Office: Man Of Steel Earns $113 Million This Weekend For A $125 Million Four Day Total
16 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
It now seems like a safe bet that this year's San Diego Comic Con will see Warner Bros. confirm a Man of Steel sequel and possibly even Justice League. We do of course need to wait and see how the reboot does internationally and during its second and third weekends domestically, but as it continues to break records overseas and good word of mouth spreads at home, there should be no doubt that Man of Steel will be the first stage of the DC Cinematic Universe. Below are the latest box office figures for Man of Steel, but be sure to stay tuned to Cbm for further updates! It's a bird, it's a plane...it's a new franchise. Man Of Steel swooped up $113M this weekend, $125M overall.— Exhibitor Relations (@ERCboxoffice) June 16, 2013 WB's Man Of Steel is now estimated to be the biggest June opener ever w/ $113M, topping Toy Story »
Toy Story Meets The Shining in “Toy Shining” Paintings
15 June 2013 11:43 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Is Pixar working on a Toy Story version of The Shining? Unfortunately not, but Kyle Lambert envisions a world where Woody head to the Overlook Hotel in his series of Toy Shining digital paintings:
“Earlier this year I began following Lee Unkrich, the director of Toy Story 3) on Twitter (@leeunkrich). As well as his journey to the Oscars with Toy Story 3, Lee often tweets about his passion for Stanley Kubrick and the movie The Shining which inspired him to pursue a career in filmmaking. Having seen both The Shining and Toy Story 3 for the first time recently myself, I thought it would be cool idea to mash the two movies together as a fun side project.
It started off with a few notes on a post-it describing how the two movies could be combined and quickly grew into a 25 panel storyboard. Once I had sketched each composition »

Lucasfilm Developing Animated Feature with Former Pixar Director
13 June 2013 12:55 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
In a recent interview with Animation Magazine, Brave co-director Brenda Chapman revealed that she just finished working on an animated movie at Lucasfilm. That movie is being directed by Gary Rydstrom, who directed the Toy Story short Hawaiian Vacation. He was also directing the animated movie Newt at one point, which ended up being shut down. Most of his career has been as an Oscar winning movie sound designer though. Looks like he's moved on to bigger and better things! Here's what Chapman had to say about the new Lucasfilm project in development:
I have been working on a project with Lucas for quite some time — about six months. When Lucasfilm was handed over to Kathleen Kennedy, she asked me to consult on the film to help solve its story problems. It was an opportunity for me to work with her. I felt honored to be asked by her, after what happened at Pixar. »

Top Ten 3D Animated Movies Your Kids Should See Before They Grow Up
12 June 2013 7:37 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
5- Finding Nemo (2003)
A heartbreaking and heartwarming movie about clownfish, 2003’s Finding Nemo had audiences glued to the screen. A story about a son taken from his father, and the lengths a dad would go to save his only child, Finding Nemo was a fast favorite. Exploring both life under water, and unlikely relationships, this film still had fans begging for a sequel ten years later. Much to everyone’s excitement, Disney and Pixar have finally listened to our plea and a Finding Dory is slated to come out in 2015.
4- Monsters Inc. (2001)
Who doesn’t remember being afraid of the monster in the closet when they were a kid? Worried that just as you were about to fall asleep, it would pop its gruesome head out and come for you in the night. Well according to 2001’s Monsters Inc. that’s exactly what happens.

Joss Whedon: 'Superheroes To Shakespeare Is A Natural Step'
12 June 2013 4:22 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Joss Whedon tells HuffPostUK how he ended up at the helm of one of the world's most successful ever films.
From here, it looks as though fans’ favourite Whedon, the man who created 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and penned 'Toy Story', made an effortless leap into the chair for Avengers Assemble, but he says it wasn't as easy as it looks.
"You missed almost a decade's worth of meetings at Marvel. Kevin (Feige, Marvel Executive) and I had known each other for a long while, and he was the guy in the room who understood what was going on. I'd gotten close to doing Marvel movies before, but it had never worked out.
Joss Whedon was pleasantly surprised by the worldwide success of 'Avengers'
“Part of Kevin's mandate is to find someone with a point of view, not necessarily action hacks, but someone who's bringing a sensibility. »

Heeeeere's Woody! See 'The Shining' Reenacted by 'Toy Story' Characters
11 June 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Horror classic The Shining has seen hundreds of hilarious parodies over the years, from the “30-Second Bunnies” cartoon treatment (watch it in our shorts gallery here) to being re-imagined as a cute family comedy via a re-cut trailer. We recently came across an ingenious new project that kinda brings both of those ideas together: UK artist Kyle Lambert has recast the film with Disney/Pixar Toy Story characters in a hilarious new panel series. When Lambert discovered via Twitter that Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich was a big fan of The Shining, he got the idea to merge both movies for a loving parody project. “It started off with a few notes on a post-it describing how the two movies could be combined and quickly grew into a 25 panel storyboard,” the artist says. “Once I had settled on the images, I set about painting each panel with my iPad using the Brushes app, »
