Suddenly Sid's dilapidated toys rise from the sandbox and emerge from mud puddles. Woody warns Sid to take good care of his toys, because if he doesn't, they'll find out. "So play nice."

What Pixar movie moments have frightened you the most?

'Party Central' is Now On 'Disney Movies Anywhere'

The Monsters University short film, Party Central, is free to watch on Disney Movies Anywhere (you need to sign up for an account first). Party Central was first seen by audiences in theaters in front of Muppets: Most Wanted, but this is the first time it has become available to view it elsewhere.

In the film, Mike and Sulley return to Monsters University for a fun-filled weekend with their Oozma Kappa fraternity brothers. The gang is throwing their first party, but no one's showing up. Luckily for them, Mike and Sulley have come with a plan to make sure Party Central is the most epic party the school has ever seen. The director of the Party Central, Kelsey Mann, said this to Fandango in an interview: “We were really enjoying these characters, and we thought it would be really great to do something else with these guys. The idea of doing a short came up.”

Peter Sohn is Directing 'The Good Dinosaur'

The Good Dinosaur has certainly gone through a lot of bumps in its production. The film was originally scheduled to come out last May, but because of production troubles, the release date moved to 2015. Bob Peterson, the initial director of the movie, was withdrawn from The Good Dinosaur last year (He is now working on future projects). Pixar's Twitter page just announced that the movie's director is now Peter Sohn. Pete has worked at Pixar for a while and directed the short film Partly Cloudy. He has also voiced several Pixar characters including Emile (Ratatouille) and Squishy (Monsters University).

Watch Peter Sohn draw Arlo from The Good Dinosaur.

Here's the synopsis for the movie: 'The Good Dinosaur' asks the generations-old question: What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? The film is a humorous and exciting original story about Arlo, a lively 70-foot-tall teenage Apatosaurus with a big heart. After a traumatic event rattles Arlo’s tranquil community, he sets out on a quest to restore peace, gaining an unlikely companion along the way—a young human boy named Spot.

The Good Dinosaur comes to theaters next year on November 25th.

Two New Images From 'Lava'

Pixar's upcoming short film, Lava, will play before Inside Out. Lava tells the story of a lonely volcano named Uku, who sings about a dream to find his true love. The short is inspired by the splendor of tropical islands and explosive appeal of volcanoes. Here are a couple new images from Lava:

As you can see, the photo-realism in Lava is astounding. Pixar always brings up their technology up to the next level with every film. Also, he turtles from the first image have a very similar resemblance to the one's from Finding Nemo!

James Ford Murphy, the director of Lava, said that he thought it would be cool to fall in love with a place who is also a character. He goes on to say: "This whole story has been an exercise in contrast. Volcanoes are so destructive, but they're so creative. They’re so powerful in their eruptions but they’re so peaceful." Watch James discuss his inspiration and ideas for the short film:

Here is a another interview James did with Collider, in which he talks about his early days at Pixar and many different aspects about the making of Lava.

Lava will premiere with Inside Out in theaters on June 19th, 2015.

'Toy Story That Time Forgot' Commercial

If you watched Toy Story of TERROR! on ABC last night (Oct. 15), chances are you would have seen a short commercial for Pixar's next television special, Toy Story That Time Forgot. 

From the Pixar Post YouYube Channel.

It's not really that Christmas-y considering the fighting sock monkey and Battlesaur toys, but it sure looks like a lot of fun! We see a lot of footage with dinosaur Reptillus Maximus. IGN descibes him as a nice version of 'Beauty and the Beast's' Gaston. He's got skills, he's handsome, he's charming and witty, and he seems to have a crush on Trixie.

Here's a detailed plot synopsis of the Holiday Special (From HitFlix): When Bonnie’s friend Mason gets the latest interactive video game system for Christmas, all of his other toys fall to the wayside…including a complete set of Battlesaurs that were also part of his Christmas haul. As yet unplayed with, these armored dinosaurs have no idea they are toys…instead convinced they are a hierarchal society inhabiting a hostile planet. The half hour special stars triceratops Trixie and her quest to finally get to be a dinosaur. While Trixie (Kristen Schaal) is falling for charismatic leader Reptillus Maximus (Kevin McKidd) and Rex is finally getting the opposable thumbs he deserves, the rest of the team is sent to the Arena of Woe to await death is glorious gladiatorial battle at the hands of the Skeksis inspired Cleric.

"This seems festive!"

As mentioned in the commercial, "the battle for all toy kind begins" this December 2nd at 8|7c on ABC.
