Pixar: 30 Years of Animation

Creators of Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc and many other modern classics of animated film, the Pixar crew celebrate three decades of successful movie-making with the latest edition of this grand-scale exhibition. First held at New York's MoMA to mark the studio's 20th anniversary, it's toured the world ever since, and has of course been appropriately updated for this spring run at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Unmissable for fans, '30 Years of Animation' shines the spotlight on the legions of artists employed by Pixar, showing off hand-drawn sketches, paintings, storyboards, character models and much more – in other words, everything that's hidden beneath the glossy digital surface. Interestingly, the exhibition captures the evolution undergone by animated film from the late '90s all the way up to 2015 and the release of The Good Dinosaur, Pixar's latest adventure flick.
