Oscars: 'Inside Out' and 'Bear Story' Win the Animation Awards

Six years after their win for Up, Pete Docter (director) and Jonas Rivera (producer) take the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film home again, but this time for Inside Out.

The 5th A113Animation Awards Results

There were quite a few good animated films in 2015 - some excellent even; but it seems like one in particular was above average. Without further ado, here are our picks for the 5th edition of the A113Animation Awards (the winners are in gold, and there is a breakdown of the results at the bottom of the post)!

The 5th A113Animation Awards Nominations

After one year off, the A113Animation Awards are back! These are our 5th Awards, and we are following the same formula established in the previous years; a few things have changed, though: we're introducing a Best Writing Award, and we've let go of the Ben Kerfoot Award.
Unlike for the past editions, William won't be picking the winners; I (Damien) will, according to my personal taste and based on the films I've seen. Of course William will also choose his favourite 2015 animated film, as will Munir.
The winners will be announced on Saturday 30th January.

'Inside Out' Wins the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature

Inside Out was the animation category winner of the 73rd Golden Globe Awards; the other nominees were Anomalisa, The Good Dinosaur, The Peanuts Movie and Shaun the Sheep.

Director Pete Docter and producer Jonas Rivera went on stage to accept the Award. "We felt like growing up is really hard, and that's a worthy subject to make a movie about" said Docter in his brief acceptance speech.

Congratulations to Pete, Jonas, and all the Pixar artists who worked on Inside Out.

Inside Out Review: Pixar's Cleverest

After two years without a Pixar movie, Pete Docter's Inside Out was highly anticipated. And it's not only because of the two year gap; it's also because its concept was one of the craziest ever cooked up by the Emeryville Studio, which is saying a lot (WALL•E's story was also pretty out there).
So, could the Pixar people make this mad idea work? Oh yes. Yes, they did.
Read the spoiler-free review below.

See Two New 'Inside Out' Clips

Inside Out premiered at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, and has received high praise from pretty much everyone who's seen it. One month before the US release date (19th June), Pixar unveiled two clips of the Pete Docter film. Watch them below.

After the Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger previews on Yahoo! Movies, here is the one dedicated to the main character of Inside Out. Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation) voices Joy in the film and explains in the following clip why this emotion is the best.

'Inside Out' and 'The Little Prince' Will Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival

The prestigious Festival de Cannes announced its lineup today, and two animated features are in the official selection. They will both be out of competition, so there's no chance to see either of them win a prize, but it's still nice to see animation getting more recognized than it usually is. The two films are Pete Docter's Inside Out and Mark Osborne's The Little Prince.

Could 'Riley's First Date' Be the Short on the 'Inside Out' Blu-Ray?

We already reported that Josh Cooley would be directing an Inside Out related short film, which will be available as a bonus feature on the feature film Blu-Ray later this year. Now, it appears that Stitch Kingdom got its hands on the title of said short: it could be called Riley's First Date. More below.

Watch: 'Inside Out' Madness TV Spot

Less than a week after the second trailer, Pixar has launched the first TV spot for Inside Out. Inspired by March Madness, the name given to the coverage of the NCAA (a popular college basketball tournament in the United States), the spot consists almost exclusively of never-seen-before footage. Watch it below.

Josh Cooley

Stitch Kingdom noticed that a Variety post called '10 Animators to Watch' spilled the beans on some upcoming Pixar projects; the animator to watch in Pixar seems to be Josh Cooley, as he apparently just finished directing a short film set in the world of Inside Out, and will be co-director on Toy Story 4.
