The films of Pixar, from their debut feature film Toy Story (1995) through to their latest release Monsters University (2013), have always inspired a tremendous amount of devotion from their legion of fans (and anticipation with the excitement about next year’s releases Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur reaching fever pitch already).
And with very good reason too.
The films are, almost without exception – I am not a huge fan of Cars although even a less than superlative Pixar film often stand heads and shoulders above lesser animation mortals – gorgeously drawn, richly characterised, intricately plotted and packed to “infinity and beyond” with all the humanity and warmth you could ask for.
Even their shorts, which accompany each feature film and are brilliant works of arts in and of themselves, are a joy to behold.
So it makes sense that Pixar also inspires a lot of artistic homages from talented fans, among them Risa Rodil from the Philippines who has a real gift of taking some of Pixar’s most iconic quotes and rendering them in visual form with drawings as infectiously wonderful as the films themselves, which naturally enough she adores:
“This is a personal project I started over a month ago. I am a huge Pixar fan and this is my own tribute to show how much I love these films.”
Her posters are as joyfully rich, delightfully detailed and pleasing as the films they are drawn from and you should definitely check them all out at her site on Behance and then buy some of her T-shirts or mugs or posters at either Society6 or Redbubble.
