A Visit To Pixar, Review of Cars 2

Like many others, I adore Pixar - they do it right, both employee-wise, and fan-wise. This story reminds me of what one of us would feel like if we got invited to walk the hallowed halls! Enjoy the pics (there's many more in the story) and the reviews of Cars 2 and Toy Story Hawaiian Vacation!

Nordling Goes To Pixar Part 1! CARS 2! TOY STORY'S HAWAIIAN VACATION!
Published on: May 04, 2011

Sometimes life hands you something amazing at very little notice. I had no idea when I woke up Wednesday morning what the next two days would entail, but I'm quite certain that going to Pixar Studios and Skywalker Ranch and meeting John Lasseter never crossed my mind.

I won't deny it - the things I saw overwhelmed me. This is a place where art and creativity reign supreme. The building itself was designed for everyone to collaborate and share. Even the location of the bathrooms was significant in that - John Lasseter insisted that the bathrooms be away from the offices, to force the animators and creative crew to at least interact with each other in the lobby. Outside I saw Pixar employees exercising and walking in the beautiful Emeryville day. I think part of the reason for Pixar's creative success is that feel of camaraderie and family that Lasseter has encouraged.

Apparently, the ball is the size of an adult!
