Pixar

Pixar has revealed basic information about not one, but two new Pixar films at Disney's annual convention.

Based on its solid collection of great films appreciated by both the critics and the masses, Pixar Animation Studios is undoubtedly a master storyteller when it comes to the animation medium.

Just as Pixar gave birth to advances in CGI animated movies, WETA digital has advanced motion capture technology to startling effects, as seen in "Lord of the Rings" "Avatar" and now in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"

'Cars 2' has crashed into theaters. The 3D Pixar sequel racked up some $68 million at the box office this weekend. The real question is "Has the movie continued the long-lasting tradition of being labeled a classic right out of the starting line?"

Tom Hanks told the BBC that "Toy Story 4" was being worked on by Pixar, which may not be shocking. But if it's true, it may be the worst move possible, as Pixar would risk ruining the perfect ending for the series at a time when the studio isn't perfect anymore.

Now that Pixar has its first critical bomb in "Cars 2," skeptics will wonder if the studio is finally ready to come down to earth. Although there have been ominous signs lately, Pixar is at least still perfect outside of the "Cars" universe for now.

Although the "Cars" franchise is so personal to Pixar mastermind John Lasseter and the sequel is a drastic reinvention, the series seems to be the black sheep of the Pixar family. That reputation has been cemented with the low reviews for "Cars 2."

There are still dozens of reviews still to come in for Pixar's "Cars 2." However, the movie already has more rotten reviews than several Pixar classics. The original was regarded as the studio's least great film, but the sequel is sinking lower already.
