You only have two more weekends to see this Pixar exhibit at the Museum of Science
Take your Finding Nemo and Toy Story fans while you still can.
Have you ever wondered how Pixar makes things so darn magical? Well, you’re not alone. The folks at the Museum of Science in Boston wondered the same thing, which is why they collaborated with Pixar Studio on their temporary exhibit, “The Science Behind Pixar,’’ an installment that shows museum-goers just how Pixar movies are made. The interactive experience shows the “science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts’’ used by filmmakers that helped bring their beloved stories to life.’’
The exhibit features both old favorites, like Pixar’s first-ever feature, Toy Story, as well as its most recent release, Inside Out, as well as many films in between. So this is for any and all Pixar fan out there.
The exhibit is closing soon, though, so if you know a Pixar fan, it’s time to head over to the museum. While there, you’ll learn fun facts about the films like: During the production of Up, each animator produced an average of 4 seconds of animation a week; 90% of all the monsters in Monsters, Inc. have Mike’s tongue; and to save on time during the making of Ratatouille, the artists at Pixar skipped one detail – none of the human characters have any toes.
Plus, there’s hands-on activities and firsthand accounts of the filmmaking process straight from the studios’ production team members. And you can even meet some Pixar faves like Buzz Lightyear, Dory, and WALL•E. Think of it as diet Disneyworld.
Admission to the exhibit is $29 for grown-ups, $26 for kids up to age 11, and $27 for seniors (60+). All Museum of Science members can get in for $5.
