What is it that makes you...YOU? Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new feature film “Soul” introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions. Directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter (“Inside Out,” “Up”), co-directed by Kemp Powers (“One Night in Miami”) and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray, p.g.a. (Pixar short “Lou”). Disney and Pixar’s “Soul” will be available exclusively on Disney+ (where Disney+ is available) beginning Dec. 25, 2020.

Pixar OnwardReview
Pixar Onward Review By: Michelle Cisneros The latest animated film Onward joins the rest of Pixar’s high ranking and tear-jerking productions. The movie is set in a fictional world whose past was filled with magic and spells, but is now dependent on the convenience of modern technology. The movie focuses on two blue-skinned elf brothers and their quest to get to spend one more day with their deceased father. Ian Lightfoot (played by rising star Tom Holland) is the youngest brother, a shy and timid teen who often compares himself to his late father who had confidence, which Ian lacks. Though never having met his father, we see that he plays an important role in Ian’s life: often wearing his father’s old clothing, has photos of him all over his bedroom, and listens to old cassettes of his voice. Ian’s older brother Barley (voiced by Guardian of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt) is the complete opposite, he is fearless and is often judged by the people around him for trying to bring magic back. On Ian’s 16th birthday, he receives a very special gift from his dad. To Ian and his mother’s confusion (and Barley’s amazement), it is a wooden staff with a magical spell that will allow him to conjure him back till next sundown. After hours of attempting, Ian is able to get only the bottom half of their dad back, from the waistband down. Both brothers agree to go off on a quest in hopes of finding another magic stone in order to get the other half of their dad.

Press Release
Press release CaixaForum Madrid From 21 March to 22 June 2014 Press release CaixaForum Madrid hosts the first presentation in Spain of a show devoted to the history of a studio that revolutionised the world of animated film “The art challenges the technology. Technology inspires the art.” That is how John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer at Pixar Animation Studios, sums up the spirit of the US company that marked a turning-point in the film world with its innovations in computer animation. This is a medium that is at once extraordinarily liberating and extraordinarily challenging, since everything, down to the smallest detail, must be created from nothing. Pixar: 25 Years of Animation casts its spotlight on the challenges posed by computer animation, based on some of the most memorable films created by the studio. Taking three key elements in the creation of animated films –the characters, the stories and the worlds that are created– the exhibition reveals the entire production process, from initial idea to the creation of worlds full of sounds, textures, music and light. Pixar: 25 Years of Animation traces the company’s most outstanding technical and artistic achievements since its first shorts in the 1980s, whilst also enabling visitors to discover more about the production process behind the first 12 Pixar feature films through 402 pieces, including drawings, “colorscripts”, models, videos and installations. Pixar: 25 Years of Animation . Organised and produced by : Pixar Animation Studios in cooperation with ”la Caixa” Foundation. Curator : Elyse Klaidman, Director, Pixar University and Archive at Pixar Animation Studios. Place : CaixaForum Madrid (Paseo del Prado, 36).

L'uso Dei Cortometraggi Nella Scuola Primaria
Insegnamento “Laboratorio di Linguaggi Audiovisivi” Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria Docente: Andrea Fiorucci L’USO DEI CORTOMETRAGGI NELLA SCUOLA PRIMARIA Possibili scenari didattico-educativi e ipotesi di intervento A cura di Andrea Fiorucci Insegnamento “Laboratorio di Linguaggi Audiovisivi” Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria Docente: Andrea Fiorucci 1)Titolo PIP https://youtu.be/07d2dXHYb94 Data di uscita: 2018 Regista: Bruno Simões Montaggio: Studio Kimchi Animation: Toni Buenavida, Matthieu Poirey, David Rubio Musica: Aurélien Vieira Lino Produzione: Southeastern Guide Dogs/Studio Kimchi Paese: Portogallo SINOSSI1: Pip è un cucciolo di cane che ha il desiderio di partecipare ad un corso per diventare cane guida per persone con disabilità visiva. Nonostante non possegga tutte le caratteristiche necessarie per accedervi, l'istruttore decide di accoglierlo nel suo team. Dopo le prime difficoltà Pip riuscirà ad inserirsi nel gruppo, ma, il giorno della prova finale farà un errore che gli costerà l’espulsione. Uscito dalla scuola di addestramento, preso dallo sconforto e dalla tristezza, Pip si ritroverà a dover aiutare una donna cieca in difficoltà. Sarà a quel punto che l’istruttrice, l’esaminatore e tutti i suoi compagni noteranno il suo talento e la sua bontà d’animo e finalmente il suo sogno sarà coronato. MESSAGGIO SOCIALE: Tale cortometraggio insegna a non arrendersi mai davanti alle difficoltà e a credere nei propri sogni e obiettivi. Pip è un cucciolo con un grande sogno, quello di diventare una guida per ipovedenti, ma il corso universitario al quale si iscrive per ottenere questa qualifica si rivela essere più difficile del previsto, innanzitutto per via della sua statura, più bassa rispetto alla norma, che contribuisce ad alimentare il pregiudizio nei suoi confronti.

“Aquí Es Donde Todo Empezó. Este Es El Momento En El Que Me Enamoré Del Jazz
“Aquí es donde todo empezó. Este es el momento en el que me enamoré del jazz. ¡Escucha eso! Ves, la melodía es solo el punto de partida. ¿Me entiendes? La música es solo una excusa para sacar afuera tu verdadero yo”. ~Joe Gardner, SOUL NOTAS DE PRODUCCIÓN ¿Qué es aquello que te hace único? SOUL, la nueva película de Pixar Animation Studios, presenta a Joe Gardner (voz en inglés de Jamie Foxx), un profesor de música de una escuela secundaria cuya verdadera pasión es el jazz. “El mayor sueño de Joe es convertirse en pianista profesional de jazz”, señala Pete Docter, director de la película. “Así que cuando le ofrecen la rara e irrepetible oportunidad de tocar con una de las grandes, Joe siente que ha llegado a la cima de la montaña”. Pero un pequeño traspié lo lleva de las calles de la ciudad de Nueva York a El Gran Antes, un lugar fantástico donde las almas nuevas obtienen su personalidad, carácter e intereses antes de ir a la Tierra. Según cuenta Docter, la idea de este mundo peculiar lleva 23 años gestándose. “Empezó con mi hijo, ahora de 23 años, quien desde el instante en que nació, ya tenía una personalidad”, señala Docter. “¿De dónde vino eso? Yo pensaba que la personalidad se desarrollaba a través de la interacción con el mundo. Y, sin embargo, estaba bastante claro que todos nacemos con un sentido único y muy específico de quiénes somos”. “En nuestra historia, todos nacen con un alma”, continúa Docter. “Y esas almas no aparecen así porque sí, sin estar preparadas, sino que son entrenadas y se les da una personalidad e intereses”.
