6 Facts About Pixar You Don't Already Know

This past week I had the opportunity to go to the Pixar exhibit in Chicago at the Museum of Science and Industry. I learned so much about the workings behind our favorite movies. Here are 6 of my favorite facts behind the classics.

1. Toy Story was the world's first feature length computer-animated movie

Toy Story opened us up into a new type of animation which launched Pixar into the spotlight.

2. Pixar build over 1,000 character models for Toy Story.

Every single toy in Toy Story is different. in fact there were 1,000 characters designed for this movie. Who knew!

3. Sulley has 2.3 million hairs in Monsters, Inc.

The fluffy monster we all love has many details. In fact he has 2.3 million details in his hair alone!

4. It took 3 days of processing to create one of the images in the Monsters, Inc. final image.

With having 2.3 million hairs, it took many hours of processing for us to get the movie we all know and love today.

5. Finding Nemo was the first movie to have believable water effects

The animators at Pixar had 3 kinds of water effects made for Finding Nemo, the surface, water droplets, and spray.

6. In Cars, the scene with all 15 cars required millions of calculations to create the reflections.

Cars was the first movie of its kind to have the reflective surfaces in the movies. It is a minor detail, but it made all the difference when it came to what we thought of Cars.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
