Pixar exhibit travels the globe

Dream Factory: Pixar Fetes 20 Years of Animation in Seoul The Korea Times Pixar Animation Studios, the maker of Disney movies Toy Story and Finding Nemo, has brought its globe-trotting exhibition to Seoul in time for its 20th anniversary. Fans can see what goes into the making of their favorite 3D animations ― including soon to be released WALL●E ― in this multimedia wonderland through Sept. 7. This exhibition pays homage to the some 80 artists collaborating behind the scenes of some of the most successful franchises, by introducing the mechanics of animation to revealing rough sketches. "Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist," said John Lasseter, chief creative officer of Pixar. This exhibition was launched in 2005 at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and has since traveled to London, Tokyo, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Helsinki. The Seoul show is the largest, with added features such as a special animation Artscope rendered in the style of sketches, and drafts for Ratatouille and Pixar's upcoming zany robot story WALL●E. by Lee Hyo-won complete article
