The little people will be played off and someone will be just insufferable. We’ve been over all that time and again. What doesn’t get as much love are the smaller categories—your documentaries, shorts, and […]

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Inside Out’ Is A Heartwrenching Pixar Feature
June 19th, 2015 Sam Cohen Film: Inside Out Directed by: Pete Docter, Ronaldo Del Carmen Starring: Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Phyllis Smith Pixar has a knack for crafting stories based in other worlds or worlds that we can’t see with characters that strike the most emotional of chords with their relatable stories.

Get Ready To Feel Again – ‘Toy Story 4’ Has Been Announced
November 6th, 2014 Tyler Hanan It’s true. The increasingly sequel-happy Pixar (despite what Pixar president Ed Catmull said) are bringing back our favorite gang of anthropomorphic toys. It isn’t as another animated short or straight-to-DVD release, either – I see you, Toy Story of TERROR! and Toy Story That Time Forgot. This is Toy Story 4. Sure, we’d heard rumors of […]

Pixar Pushes ‘The Good Dinosaur’ to 2015
September 19th, 2013 Drew Caruso For the first time since 2005, 2014 will be a year that is without Pixar. They may not be bringing anything to the movie screen next year, but that is not to say there are no projects on the horizon.

First Trailer For ‘Toy Story’ Halloween Special
September 19th, 2013 James Shotwell We don’t usually cover television on UTG, but in this case we simply had to make an exception. ABC television has released the first trailer for the upcoming Halloween special, Toy Story Of Terror. The 30-minute short film features the cast of Toy Story in a brand new spooky tale that also serves as the […]
Monsters U Continues To School Its Competition, #1 Two Weeks In A Row
June 30th, 2013 Adrian Garza Much to our amazement, after dominating World War Z last week, Pixar’s Monsters University has clung onto its number one spot for the second consecutive week. This week’s newcomers came in strong: The Heat, starring the duo of Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, had a great opening weekend with 40 million in sales, with almost […]

MOVIE REVIEW: Monsters University
June 21st, 2013 James Shotwell Film: Monsters University Starring: Billy Crystal, John Goodman Directed by: Dan Scanlon If the purpose of creating a sequel is to recapture the magic of the first film while sending the same characters on a new (though often similar) adventure, then it’s safe to say even animation has struggled to make the oh-so-profitable marketing scheme […]

May 13th, 2013 Kendra Beltran You have to really be careful how you word things, because it can get many hopes up. Talking to you, Bob Iger, Disney CEO.

NOT A JOKE: Love ‘Cars’? Here’s Your First Look At Disney’s ‘Planes’
March 8th, 2013 James Shotwell You know a spinoff film is destined for greatness when one of the companies behind the original is no longer involved, nor any of the original cast, and the release was bumped from Direct-To-DVD to theatrical.

RUMOR: Disney Pixar Planning 2015 Release For ‘Toy Story 4,’ Tim Allen and Tom Hanks To Return
February 19th, 2013 James Shotwell In an age where sequels are greenlit before official numbers are in for a film’s opening weekend, it may seem peculiar to some that Pixar have yet to speak of plans to continue their ever-popular Toy Story series.
