#MTOS The Films Of Pixar
I
have thoroughly enjoyed all four times that I have hosted Movie Talk On Sunday and
when given the opportunity to do it all again I jumped at the chance … this
time I’m bringing a bit of magic into your Sunday night as I start a
conversation about the films of Pixar. Pixar began in 1979 as the
Graphics Group, part of the computer division of Lucasfilm, it was bought by Apple
in 1986 and then again by The Walt Disney Company bought Pixar in 2006 (who then of course bought Lucasfilm bringing
it full circle).
If
you’re a Disney fanatic (like my good
lady wife) then this is the #MTOS you’ve been waiting for and even if
you’re not getting a Woody at the prospect I’m sure you’ll have seen a good number
of the Pixar films and are sure to have opinions to bring to the Twitter table.
Here are the ten questions for this week’s ‘Movie
Talk On Sunday’;
Q1. A nice easy one to start with, which feature film
is Pixar’s best? #MTOS
Q2. The Pixar universe is filled with a vast array
of colourful characters, who’s your favourite and why? #MTOS
Q3. Many talents have lent their voice to Pixar
characters, who’s given the best vocal performance? #MTOS
Q4. Toy Story 3, Cars 2, Monsters Uni, Finding
Dory … should Pixar be doing so many sequel / prequels? Discuss… #MTOS
Q5. Pixar are equally renowned for the theatrical
short films which often precede their main features, which is your favourite
& why? #MTOS
Q6. Pixar films wouldn’t be the same without
music, which is more important to you? Newman penned songs or rousing Giacchino
scores #MTOS
Q7. 7 Pixar feature films have won Best Animated
Feature Film at the Oscars, which was least deserving and why? #MTOS
Q8. If you haven’t cried at some point during a
Pixar film then you’re dead inside, what’s that one moment that makes you
blubber? #MTOS
Q9. Cheers favourite, John Ratzenberger has played
a voice part in every Pixar feature film made to date, which one’s been his
best? #MTOS
Q10.
Toy Story is the best film ‘trilogy’ ever. If you agree with this statement
convince me, if you don’t which Trilogy beats it? #MTOS
I
will post a question every 10 minutes starting at 20:00 GMT on Sunday, 4th
of August. Make sure you are following me on Twitter @TGP73 and answer your
questions with an “A” and question number and add the #MTOS hashtag at the end.
For example my answer
for Question #1 would be:
A1. Ratatouille ... a film that improves with every
watch and always succeeds in making me hungry #MTOS
Then
just do a search on #MTOS and follow along the fun and hijinx. Feel free to RT
(Retweet) the answers you like or
agree with and reply to any answers you wish. Debate is fine (your master made you this collar so you may
speak!) but please keep it civilised (be
a nice shark … not a mindless eating machine!). It’s all about having fun
and sharing your thoughts with fellow movie lovers like yourself. Also feel
free to invite your followers along and post a link to this page so you can all
get your answers ready.
The
best answer to Q2 as decided by the host will win a copy of their choice of
Pixar film on Blu-Ray or DVD (subject to availability)
