Monsters University

We ranked all 24 Pixar movies.

This awesome video collects over 20 years of Pixar Easter eggs.

As we're currently in the throngs of awards season, studios are combing through movie reviews to find the most beaming critiques to place in new "critics" TV spots to promote their films' Oscar clout -- look at ones for 'Gravity,' 'Dallas Buyers Club' and the like. Well, leave it to 'The Muppets Most Wanted' to come up with one that puts all the rest to shame.

So which film will get your hard-earned dough this weekend!

We were invited to visit the Pixar campus in Emeryville, California to watch the 'Monsters University' team work and try to answer that very question. First up is Story Supervisor, Kelsey Mann. He is responsible for all the storyboards for 'Monsters University,' which serve as

There are no film studios that inspire such fervent loyalty as Pixar. Since 'Toy Story' in 1995, the Disney-owned company has consistently raised the bar when it comes to animation, pumping out masterpieces (and a dud here and there) on the regular...
