Pixar Is Offering a Free Online Course on the Art of Storytelling with “Pixar in a Box”

From the likes of Pixar heavyweights that were the key creative forces behind Inside Out, Up, Monsters, Inc., Brave, Sanay’s Super Team, and more, you can now learn some winning formulas on storytelling.

The lessons are offered up, in collaboration with Khan Academy,  as part of the “Pixar in a Box” program and are only a handful of the knowledge, how to, wisdom, and experience that Pixar is willing to share.

While theater chains have midnight screenings on Thursdays and sometimes a little earlier, very rarely do you hear of a big studio movie, especially one of potential animated summer juggernaut “Inside Out” playing in several theaters a few days before the official theatrical release date. 

Turns out that Disney is giving this special theater events (RiffTrax, Opera at The Met) a try.

On Tues. Jun. 16th (three days before actual release), Disney Pixar’s Inside Out will have one special screening in participating theaters around the U.S. that will include the usual short film as well as a satellite broadcasted Q&A with the director Pete Docter and Amy Poehler as her character Joy.

Our guess is that it will probably sell out in advance and probably encourage more pre-release events in the future.

Pixar’s Inside Out Has People Saying It Will Change The Way People Will Think About Thinking

A recent, detailed presentation of Pixar’s upcoming film Inside Out by director Pete Docter gave a deeper look into the film and its story. Those in attendance said that the way it portrays human thoughts and emotions and how they work, which, in this case, will be played by a team of animated characters voiced by Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Bill Hader, Phyllis Smith, and Mindy Kaling, might offer some valuable insight into how we think and feel in real life.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given how many people couldn’t but cry at the opening of Up.
