It's a big week for blue characters in TV and film. On Monday, "X-Men" director Bryan Singer tweeted a photo of Jennifer Lawrence in her full blue glory, done up for her role of Mystique in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," and this weekend, "Arrested Development" character Tobias Fünke who famously "blue" himself returns with Netflix's release of new "Arrested Development" episodes.
Blue-hued characters have held a special place in pop culture for decades, inexplicably appearing far more often than their counterparts from the rest of the color wheel. Take a spin through a brief history of blue characters below.
Jennifer Lawrence was painted blue for her role in "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
In "Big Fat Liar," Paul Giamatti's character Marty Wolf is shown blue.
The Smurfs may be the most famous blue characters, making their mark in their comic strip, television series, and film.

Epic, 2013.
Directed by Chris Wedge.
Featuring the voice talents of Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson, Christoph Waltz, Aziz Ansari, Chris O'Dowd, Pitbull, Jason Sudeikis, Steven Tyler, and Beyoncé Knowles.
Synopsis:
A teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil is taking place. She bands together with a rag-tag group characters in order to save their world - and ours.
Based on the children's book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs by William Joyce, Chris Wedge (Ice Age, Robots) directs this family-adventure with outstanding 3D and thrilling chase-sequences which are let down by a story that lacks the moral-core it clearly should have. With a Toy Story-esque "secret life" of characters within the forest, we join Mk (Amanda Seyfried) as she magically shrinks and is tasked with saving the forest as a great »

Earlier this week it was revealed that Pixar has at least one other sequel in development beyond 2015's Finding Nemo follow-up Finding Dory; while Toy Story 4 must surely be at the top of any list, it wouldn't be too much of a surprise to see the Disney-owned animation studio attempting to capitalise on the current superhero boom with a sequel to 2004's smash hit The Incredibles. However, judging by comments from director Brad Bird it seems we can probably scratch The Incredibles 2 from the list of possibilities for the time being, although the two-time Oscar winner has revealed that he's certainly open to continuing the adventures of the superhero family.
"I have been thinking about [The Incredibles 2]. People think that I have not been, but I have," said Bird in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "Because I love those characters and love that world. I am stroking my chin and scratching my head. »

There's a fair amount of discussion on the interwebs about which clichéd line appears more frequently than any other in the movies. While there are a few contenders, one that's cited again and again is "Let's get out of here!" One enthusiastic movie fan created a supercut of people saying the line or variations of it, and it's amazing how often it's used. By the way, it's Friday afternoon. Are you still at the office? Get out of there!

Cast an eye over Brad Bird’s back catalogue and it’s easy to understand why the burgeoning filmmaker was initially one of the directors touted to helm Star Wars: Episode VII. Ultimately, it was J.J. Abrams’ name that was picked from Disney’s hat, but that doesn’t mean Bird was in close contention at one stage. And now, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the director reveals the reason why he turned his back on a galaxy far, far away.
Speaking about Star Wars: Episode VII, here’s what Bird had to say:
“I’ve known Kathy [Kennedy] for a while and I know George. And they did come to me. But the problem was, the schedule they had in mind made it impossible to do…unless I dropped Tomorrowland.…We had reached a critical mass where it would’ve thrown the furniture around from the train stopping. »

Ask Pixar fans which movie they'd like to see a sequel to and most of them will tell you The Incredibles. With Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc. releasing sequels over the next few years, The Incredibles remains one of the few movies in Pixar's library that hasn't gotten a second installment. Wall-e, Up, Ratatouille, Brave and A Bug's Life remain the other Pixar features that haven't had a prequel/sequel… yet. The Incredibles director Brad Bird recently spoke with THR about the prospects of a sequel. "I have been thinking about it. People thing that I have not been, but I have. Because I love those character and love that world. I am stroking my chin and scratching my head. I have many, many elements that I think would work really well in another...

Toy Story will return for a special TV movie later this year, it has been announced.
ABC will air the 30-minute film Toy Story of Terror in October, TV Guide reveals.
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen will reprise their voice roles as Woody and Buzz, while Don Rickles (Mr Potato Head), Wallace Shawn (Rex) and Joan Cusack (Jessie) will also have more prominent roles.
The Pixar production follows the group of toys post-Toy Story 3, on a road trip adventure that goes wrong.
"Bonnie is on a road trip to go see grandma with her mum and the toys are in the trunk," executive producer Galyn Susman said.
"Mum gets a flat tyre and they have to spend the night at a motel and all kinds of chaos ensues."
Susman added: "We've gotten to see a lot of development in Woody and in Buzz and we felt it was »

A few days ago, Disney held a conference call with stockholders, revealing that Pixar is developing even more sequels to some of its films, outside of "Monsters, Inc" and "Finding Nemo," which have already been announced. Disney CEO Bob Iger said: "We are very excited about 'Monsters University,' which opens next month. Pixar's slate of films for the next five years includes fantastic original stories as well as some great sequels to their previous hits. And as we recently announced, we are in production on one of those sequels, 'Finding Dory,' featuring Ellen DeGeneres once again as the voice of Dory, one of the most beloved characters from 'Finding Nemo,' which was one of the most popular and profitable movies to date." Iger didn't say which films will be getting sequels, but it's safe to say that it won't be "The Incredibles." The obvious »

Pixar took some big chances from 2007-2009. Ratatouille starred a rat (not a cuddly animal), Wall-e spent its first act in a quiet and abandoned Earth, and Up had a geriatric as an adventure hero. They're all great movies, and none of them came close to matching the $1 billion worldwide pulled in from Toy Story 3 (it's worth noting that of the 2007-2009 movies, only Up was in 3D). And while Cars 2 grossed only $559 million worldwide, its merchandising sales were probably through the roof. These movies and have hopefully put enough into the company's coffers that they can have the creative freedom to pursue the original features The Good Dinosaur, Inside Out, and the Untitled Dia de Los Muertos movie. The sequels will begin again in November 2015 with Finding Dory, and it looks like a sequel to another Pixar movie might be in the works. Hit the jump for more. »

Previously on Glee, Rachel was tripping balls on nostalgia at her Funny Girl audition, so she hallucinated Original New Directions onto the stage with her, where they Didn’t Stop Believin’ together again. Blaine made it plain that he wanted to spend all his days of all of his life with perfect human being Kurt Hummel, even if they were still mostly broken up (but still hooking up at literally every opportunity). Brittany pulled down a perfect Sat score. And Ryder was teetering very near the edge of an apoplectic brain hemorrhage because these writers have a memory worse than Finding Nemo’s Dory but his stupid catfishing storyline just would not go away.

Attempt to secure domain for merchandise around new Pixar 'Dia de los Muertos' film met with online protests
Disney has dropped attempts to trademark the traditional Mexican Day of the Dead festival for the purposes of a new Pixar animated film following angry online protests.
Critics took to social media after it emerged that the studio was applying to trademark the term "Dia de los Muertos" for merchandising purposes. Disney-owned Pixar's film about the famously macabre November celebration was announced in April last year. It does not yet have a title but will be directed by Toy Story 3's Lee Unkrich.
In its trademark applications, Disney wanted exclusive domain for goods including "fruit-based snack foods", "Christmas-tree ornaments and decorations", "decorative magnets", "non-medicated toiletries" and "frozen meals consisting primarily of pasta or rice", as well as for education and entertainment purposes. Anger was sparked among the Us's Mexican-American community, »

After taking home the Best Animated Film Oscar at the start of the year for Brave, Pixar return to the big screen this summer with their first ever prequel, Monsters University.
Going back to the college days of our beloved Mike and Sulley, the film is naturally sure to be a strong contender in the same category early next year.
We’ve seen plenty of brilliant things from the animated blockbuster already, with the first full-length trailer landing two and a half months ago. And with its release now less than two months away, the studio have debuted another terrific new trailer, courtesy of Yahoo Movies.
Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn’t stand each other. “Monsters University” unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences »
