Even with 13 record-breaking animated pictures under its belt, Pixar’s success continues to astound. There is arguably no entertainment company with as much goodwill as the Disney-owned, California-based production studio. Since it unleashed Toy Story in 1995, Pixar has amassed one of the most loyal fan bases in movie history. The company’s consistent track record has allowed its name to become a stamp of quality on a product and even a powerful marketing tool.

MOVIE REVIEW: Brave
June 22nd, 2012 Tyler Osborne Film: Brave
Directed by: Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman, Steve Purcell
There are a few things certain in my life. I’ll always love pop punk music, I’ll always wish I was Indiana Jones, and I will always, almost to an obsessive point, love Pixar films.
