The Pixar Podcast Derrick Clements

A review of "Coco" and a special announcement.

Conor Hilton joins the podcast to help review the new Pixar film, "Cars 3."

In this episode, we'll hear a presentation about finding the story for "Cars 3" with writers Mike Rich, Bob Peterson and Kiel Murray and story supervisor Scott Morse. They'll discuss, among other things, social barrier-breaking real racers who inspired the story, the background of Cruz Ramirez, and how the team dug into the audio archives for Paul Newman and Tom Magliozzi.

In this episode, I share my reaction to the footage of "Cars 3" that I saw a couple weeks ago, and we dive into the film with director Brian Fee, producer Kevin Reher and co-producer Andrea Warren.

In this episode, I chat with Pixar artists Alan Barillaro & Marc Sondheimer ("Piper") and Andrew Coats & Lou Hamou-Lhadj ("Borrowed Time"). Both pairs are up for the Best Animated Short Oscar on Sunday.

In this episode, I speak with Pixar veteran Sharon Calahan about place, her long career at Pixar and creating the "painterly realism" of "The Good Dinosaur."
