Pixar at MOMA
Pixar: 20 Years of Animation
December 14, 2005–February 6, 2006
Film and Media Gallery, Titus 1 Lobby Gallery, Titus 2 Lobby Gallery, and throughout the first floor
In keeping with the Museum’s long tradition of presenting animation, this is the most extensive gallery exhibition that MoMA has ever devoted to the genre. Featuring over 500 works of original art on loan for the first time from Pixar Animation Studios, the show includes paintings, concept art, sculptures, and an array of digital installations. These works reveal the intricate, hands-on processes behind Pixar’s computer-generated films—including Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, and numerous shorts. The exhibition also includes a complete retrospective of Pixar films. Demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between traditional and digital media pioneered by the studio over its twenty-year history, Pixar: 20 Years of Animation is a tribute to the artists whose work has reinvented the genre
I think the really exciting part about this show will be the inclusion of concept art and physical character models as well as shorts by John Lasseter.

December 16th everyone. That's when Jon's there to talk about the shorts. I'm not sure about the time. I'm gonna be there for sure. I mean, it's on friday, the really last day of school and I know my mind would feel like some sort of a jellyfish, but I just can't miss an opportunity like this.
Pixar to me represent the ideal of modern pop visual art. They are not about the money (well I guess they are, but they're not obssessed about it), they are not about making stupid sequels, or replicating others' success for the sake of selling more. No! I get the sense they are a young-company who's fed up by show-business and just want to reach out and ENTERTAIN people. And they back it up with amazing technical and visual talent as well. I highly recommend everyone in class to come on friday after class to the MOMA and check it out. Who knows, maybe it's also an opportunity to network.
