Pixar Teases for Future Films

Disney Pixar's latest film Onward will be released in the UK this week. Pixar's films are full of Easter eggs. You probably know that most of their films feature a Pizza Planet truck and there are endless uses of the Luxo ball and "A113" which refers to a classroom number where many of the Pixar people started their careers. Pixar films are also well known for inserting references to future films and we've collected together these teases.

Monsters Inc.- Clownfish from Finding Nemo make several cameos in this film, most obviously when Sully gives Boo a clownfish toy but one can also be seen on the wallpaper of the sushi restaurant.



Finding Nemo- In the dentist's waiting room a young patient is reading a Mr. Incredible comic book.


There's also a nod to Cars- when the fish are escaping in their bags you can see Luigi zooming past. 



Ratatouille- When a dog barks at Remy we can clearly see from it's shadow that it's Doug from Up.


Wall-e- Among all the things the little robot has collected is Carl Fredricken's walker from Up.


Up- As the balloon house rises past a little girl's bedroom you can see a Lotso bear from Toy Story 3 in the corner.



Toy Story 3- One of the kids at Sunnyside Day Care sports a Lightning McQueen logo teasing the return of the character in Cars 2.


You can also see Finn McMissile from Cars 2 in a poster on Andy's wall.


Cars 2- In the Ye Left Turn Inn there's a car version of the DunBroch family tapestry from Brave



Brave- One of the many wood-carving is clearly the monster Sully, teasing Monsters University.


Monsters University- Toy versions of characters from The Good Dinosaur appear in one of the scare simulators. 


Inside Out- One of Riley's memories see her family stop at a roadside dinosaur and photograph it. This dinosaur is Forrest Woodbrush from The Good Dinosaur. We also Arlo's tail.


The Good Dinosaur- When Arlo is knocked into a pool and learns to swim, you can make out Hank the octopus from Finding Dory on the bottom of the pool.


Finding Dory- A truck driver can be seen wearing a Lightning McQueen plaster, teasing Cars 3.


Cars 3- When one car needs some motivation he is shown a picture of his hometown, which resembles Miguel's hometown Santa Cecila in Coco.


Coco- As Miguel and Hector walk around the Land of the Dead they walk past some street art of the Parr family., teasing The Incredibles 2.

Zombieland Rules

Zombieland 2 is now out to purchase on home media here in the UK and to celebrate we thought it would be useful to collect together all the rules from the franchise in case we need them for a zombie apocalypse. NB- In the original trailers some of these rules were assigned different numbers- the numbers listed are how they appear in the film. There's also some rules which weren't used in the films but are included in the promotional material. #1: Cardio. "Zombies lead a very active lifestyle. So should you". #2: Double Tap . #3: Beware of Bathrooms . #4: Seatbelts . "It's gonna be a bumpy ride." #6: Cast Iron Skillet . (This one isn't in the films but it is  in this promotional video) #7: Travel Light .  #8: Get a Kick-ass Partner . (Another not from the film but used in the poster seen below) #12: Bounty .

Michael Giacchino and his Many Puns

Michael Giacchino is one of Hollywood's most in demand composers who has worked on massive franchises like Planet of the Apes, Star Trek and huge studios like Pixar and Marvel. He's next big project is the score for Matt Reeves' The Batman . What you might not know is that Giacchino loves to uses puns when he gives titles to his scores… Giacchino's big movie break came with The Incredibles and on the whole has fairly typical titles for it's soundtrack. It's final track which plays over the title credits is 'The Incredits'. It's 2009's Star Trek where the puns really come out with tracks including 'Enterprising Young Men', 'Nice to Meld You' and 'Does It Still McFly?'. Giacchino also got a lot of mileage out of the character Nero using his names for tracks entitled 'Nero Sighted', 'Nero Death Experience' and 'Nero Fiddles, Narada Burns'. He received quite a lot of criticism online for these ...

Doctor Dolittle on Screen

Dolittle hits UK cinema screens this week, starring Robert Downey Jr as the famous doctor who can converse with animals, with a slightly odd Welsh accent. Doctor Dolittle was the central character of a series of children's books by Hugh Lofting, starting with The Story of Doctor Dolittle in 1920. Lofting actually created Dolittle in illustrated letters to his children from the trenches of World War I when actual news was either too dull or too horrible. There have been a number of screen adaptions over the years but the first was in 1928 in Germany. Early animation pioneer Lotte Reiniger made Doktor Dolittle und seine Tiere  ( Doctor Dolittle and his Animals ) as her second feature film. This trailer for a DVD version gives you some idea what it looked like: The doctor didn't return to screens until 1967 when he was portrayed by Rex Harrison in a musical version. It may seem odd that it took so long for a live-action film to be made but when you consider the books ar...
