Welcome to The Pixar Podcast
ABOUT THE PODCAST
Categories
New categories on the site! I'm going to focus on making episodes that fall into the following:
News - News episodes cover a wide variety of timely stories relating to Pixar Animation Studios and animation in general.
Interviews with Filmmakers - Interviews with Pixar filmmakers and (on occasion) their colleagues across the animation industry.
Reviews - Reviews are in-depth discussions of Pixar films (or other relevant entries), usually with one or more cohost.
Fandom and Beyond - Stories of true Pixar fans and the (sometimes extreme) lengths they go to show their fandom. These are not stories of your everyday Pixar enthusiast. These people build vehicles, publish books, and live in houses that reflect their Pixar passion.
For Animation Students - Episodes dealing with animation education and breaking into the biz. Of course, all episodes in the Interviews with Filmmakers category apply here, as many of the questions are made with students in mind.
The Toybox - General human interest stories that Pixar fans would especially appreciate.
