Today i was flicking through the channels on the Tv and i came across a program called "Pixars 25 Greatest Moments", this was very useful and a link to it is included below. This was shown on BBC3
Below: description of the program from the guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2011/jan/03/pixar-25-magic-moments)

Pixar: 25 Magic Moments
9pm, BBC3

Ahead of tonight's screening of Cars (and WALL-E's accompanying short BURN-E) Mackenzie Crook narrates a documentary celebrating Pixar's quarter-century in the business with clips and celebrity guests galore. It may sound like something from the Dark Ages, but before Toy Story's1995 release people even questioned whether audiences would be able to sit through an all-CGI feature film, which just shows how ahead of the game Pixar were – and indeed are. But their real "secret" is letting the creative types and not the suits come up with the ideas. PO'N

Over the christmas holidays i have studied and viewed my chosen films several times, and have highlighted all information which is relevant to me from the copies of information about pixar i got from the BFI library

By clicking this link the contextual analysis of 2003 , will appear, I will thoroughly go through this in order to establish weather any historical events at this time had affected the making of Disney Pixars "Finding Nemo", I will be able to do this by watching the movie and seeing if any major dates, or any relation to historic happenings appear in the film, and if so make notes as evidence. This is my main film so i will study this in extra detail.
