Every summer for over a decade, Disney has released classic upon classic through their collaboration with Pixar studios. These Disney Pixar-inspired finds demonstrate just how much influence the animated masterpieces have.
From Toy Story to Finding Nemo to Wall-E, Disney Pixar continues to find new ways to make narrative emotionally compelling and captivating. Nearly every film has become an instant pop-culture classic with icons such as Wall-E, Nemo or Captain Buzz Lighyear becoming widely recognizable figures from memorable films.
Real life renditions of the Pixar movies exist in various facets of everyday life from wedding themes to office mural art to insect photography. The films appeal to both the inner child and the adult alike, making them a perfect choice for family movie nights.
