OUR PASSION FOR ANIMATED MOVIES,

Papa Ed has always loved good movies.  So we spent a part of our time before marriage and now with our kids on movies.  A personal favourite for our kids are animated movies and these very much include many of the PIXAR movies which Brendan fondly recalls.

So, to name a list : PIXAR movies like Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bug’s Life, Monsters Inc, Cars, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Wall-E and UP - bring back fond memories. 

It is EASY to enjoy the impressive animations appearing on the BIG SCREEN and also the fantastic sound effect in the cinema.  However, what exactly happened behind the scene to make such award winning movies possible?  That was what we wished to find out and wanted our kids to know as well. So, when the PIXAR animation exhibition is on - HERE IN SINGAPORE@ Singapore Science Centre,  we wouldn’t give it a miss!

……..

AT THE EXHIBITION (20 Years of Animation),

We got to learn about what happened behind the scene and the transformation in art and technology that enable these captivating movies. Surely not to be missed are the exclusive sketches, sculptures and paintings.

What makes the exhibition complete are the the high-tech and interactive experiences. This is the part that Darren enjoyed even though he might not have appreciated the sketches of the early movie characters.

[We did not manage to take photographs of these exhibits as "NO photography is allowed".]

Then, we caught the 3D movie “Toy Story 2″ in the comfort of the Singapore Science Centre - a good opportunity to refresh our memories before we watch the much awaited “Toy Story 3″ very soon.

Kids being kids - the next thing that got Darren most excited was the toys on sale. He managed to get a Toy Story 3 edition of Buzz Lightyear. The early “Woody” that we have got for him years ago is no longer lonely now with company from Buzz Lightyear *smile*.

……..

AFTER THE EXHIBITION,

It gave us a higher level of appreciation for the extreme efforts and details that went into the production of each of these animated movies.  The next time, we watch a PIXAR movie (yup, yup “Toy Story 3″ is the earliest), we will be sure not only to enjoy the movie but also appreciating the efforts behind it.

Hmm…a movie emcompassing the beauty of art and technology.

With the tribute to the studio and production crew, that is why “PIRACY” should be stamped out. 

If you are keen to view the exhibition, it will be on at Singapore Science Centre till 27 June 2010 (Closed on Mondays except school and public holidays). Ticket costs apply. Check out details here.

Also, here is a movie trailer of Toy Story 3. Enjoy!
