A Special Message from The Pixar Podcast

On today's special episode, I talk about the coming year of The Pixar Podcast.

Thank you for listening! Your support is what makes this show possible. You can donate to The Pixar Podcast below, and all contributions go toward telling the stories you love to hear from behind the scenes at Pixar.

2015 was a fun year at The Pixar Podcast. If you haven't checked out the new Library feature on the website, please do so! It visually organizes every Pixar film -- short and feature-length -- and lets you hear every piece of podcast coverage for that film. This was a new addition this year that will hopefully add to this website's value for years to come.

With two feature films in theaters from Pixar last year, and one more coming in six months, it's definitely a great time for the podcast. Thanks again for listening and supporting!

Let's see what 2016 brings!
