Pixar Releases Three Hot Concept Art Pics

Posted byBy R Scott Belzer | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The Pixar team did not disappoint its fans this past Christmas and New Year. It instead provided a Christmas card that contained more than warm wishes and holiday cheer — it contained concept art for not one or two new films, but three.

The first picture is from Pixar’s next film due in May 2014, called The Good Dinosaur. The picture is a beautiful sunset that looks straight out of a Hawaiian or African brochure, but instead of showcasing lions or sea life, there’s a giant long necked dinosaur with a presumed child riding on it.

Along with the picture, Pixar released a tantalizingly short plot synopsis:What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?

The second picture released showcases the concept artwork for an untitled film involving a world inside the human brain planned to be released in 2015. Rather than limit this subject matter to neurons and nerve tissue, the concept art hints that the film will instead focus on little brain people. Whether or not their realm is the imagination or the actual inner workings of your brain has yet to be divulged.

The third picture released offers a glimpse at a 2016 Pixar film involving Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. The brains behind Toy Story 3 — Lee Unkrich and producer Darla Anderson — are also the one’s behind this seemingly festive treat. The picture offers the usual Pixar art that can be seen alongside the credits of nearly every Pixar film.

While no other information has been released, the picture from The Good Dinosaur is mouthwatering enough to have audiences begging for more — and soon. Hopefully, with only a May 2014 release, the marketing campaign will be in effect within the next six months.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
