It’s been 20 years since the release of Toy Story—the world’s first computer-animated feature film—put Pixar Animation Studios on the map. Since then, the company has created some of the most successful films of all time, including A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Cars, Wall E, The Incredibles, and the current smash, Inside Out, whose domestic box office take so far is nearly $300 million.
A new Museum of Science exhibition, The Science Behind Pixar, offers a fascinating look at how math, engineering, technology, and science have brought these beloved films to life. The show allows visitors of all ages to follow the production process at Pixar from start to finish. The 10,000-square-foot exhibition features 40 interactive elements as well as firsthand accounts from Pixar animators talking about the ways science and math are used to create characters. Learn how moviemakers work to turn an idea into a film and explore the production pipeline on your own at eight stations: modeling, lighting, simulation, rigging, animation, rendering, surfaces, and sets and cameras.
