Announcing the Pixar Blogathon!

Hello, everyone!

2D or cell block animation is my favorite kind and don't really like digital animation. That is why it surprises people when I say that I am a huge fan of Pixar movies, which only use digital animation. Ack, I love them. I've seen all but three of their films. Their colors are beautiful and they create such emotional movies. Thinking about it, they really remind me of summer and June in particular, so I have decided to host a blogathon dedicated to them!


This blogathon will run from June 12th-14th 2020 and I invite all of you to join me! I know that summer is a busy time for everyone because of the beautiful weather, and I am personally busy because I work with my dad, but we also have a pandemic going on. No one knows how long it will last, and it is such a sad and hard time right now, but I thought that we could get together and talk about these awesome movies. If you watch them you are sure to be cheered up (just maybe after crying buckets, first).

The Rules:

  1. You can write about anything that has to do with Pixar. Movies, short films, lists of favorites, you name it! Not sure which movies they made? HERE is a list.
  2. Because they have only made 22 feature films I ask that no two people review the same movie. But, you one person can talk about one film, and another can include it a list of favorites, etc.
  3. It is okay to talk about Pixar movies that you don't like (I mean, there are some that are not my favorite, too), but just be kind and considerate while stating your opinions, and remember that how much work went into each of these movies.
  4. You can do as many posts as you want, and just post them on either  June 12th, 13th, or 14th.
  5. Comment below (or email me at queen13movies(at)gmail(dot)com) with what subject you would like to cover, and with your blog name and a link to it.
  6. If you want to do a guest post on my blog talking about one of them, that is an option! Just let me know in your comment here, then make sure to email your post to me three days before the blogathon starts complete with any photos that you want to use.
  7. If you have any questions feel free to ask me!


The Buttons:

I had a ton of fun making these, and I would love that you would put one or two on your blog so that other people will find out about it and join us for the fun!

    1. I love finding other Pixar fans! Oh yeah, there definitely is so much to talk about!

      Those are great choices! A Bug's Life has always been one of my favorites, and it is so underrated so I'm glad that you're going to talk about it! It can absolutely be a guest post. Send it to me by June 9th.

  6. Sorry I'm jumping in last minute! I absolutely love Disney & Pixar & your idea! Could I please write about WALL-E? Hello, Dolly plays such an important part in the movie and I'd like to examine that connection. <3

    1. Eeeep! I'm so glad that you're joining! WALL-E is one of my favorites, and I've always wanted to see Hello, Dolly because of it, but I haven't had the chance. Looking forward to your post!
