Hey folks, Harry here... I'm incredibly excited about this screening. Not just because I love Pixar like a child loves to suck their thumb, but because we're having Director Leslie Iwerks there to talk with us about the film and about animation in general. You see, Leslie is the granddaughter of U.B. Iwerks - not only was he a brilliant animator - but a brilliant innovator and inventor that created much of the processes that made animation so wonderful. Things like the process to blend animation with live action... and a lot of what went into Disneyland and more. If you want to know more about U.B. check out the documentary, THE HAND BEHIND THE MOUSE: THE U.B. IWERKS STORY also directed by Leslie Iwerks. This is an extremely awesome opportunity to see this movie as it is planned to just play at New York and Los Angeles - so if you love PIXAR and animation - you've got to come check this out this Sunday! How? Read below:

Lamar, Austin, TX 78704 Sunday, October 14, 7:00PM In the mid 1980's, three men united together to follow a dream: Ed Catmull, John Lasseter and Steve Jobs pushed beyond the boundaries of what was known in the world of art and science to form Pixar Animation Studios. In 1995, the company's Academy Award winning computer animated film, TOY STORY, ignited an entirely new animation industry, and their ensuing seven films have entertained millions of people worldwide. Yet over the last twenty years the company's dramatic journey has often been one of struggle and commitment as they paved their way into an unknown medium. Through never before seen archival footage, candid interviews, and visually stunning art and animation, Oscar nominated director Leslie Iwerks takes us inside the unique world of Pixar. "a celebration of animation in all its forms" - Peter Debruge, Daily Variety Please note: This screening is open to invitees only.
