Pixar movies are loved by not only kids but also by adults. Starting from the Luxo Jr. to Finding Nemo and Brave, every movie truly makes the animated world as good as real, or even sometimes better than that.

What is the magical element that brings those Pixar movies to life? Is it the technology used? Or is it the artistic sensibility? Well, it’s a combination of both. The purpose is to create a world that is believable and looks more like the real world with the help of animation technology.

Combining all those points to create a line, and again combining all those lines to create objects or the character’s face, which looks so real, as if that really exists in real world. The clutch of technical and scientific achievements of Pixar can hardly be matched by any other animation studio.

Pixar Movies Are Blend of Art and Science

Pixar Animation Studios use technology in the most prominent manner by making software that allows them to produce storyboards and design concept work. They have created the most remarkable modeling and animation software that allowed them to create animation in their movies which we all love.

Pixar’s consequent films display the timeline of technological developments in computer graphics. In 2001, Monsters, Inc. introduced the on-screen representation of fur. While two years later, Finding Nemo leads the way to new techniques in digital lighting, which were used to create water that looked so real. The Ratatouille and Incredibles portray realistic human characters and improvements in the simulation of crowds and fluids.

The scale of those technological breakthroughs has changed in recent years. In 2009, Up came along the advances were limited to features and balloons. But in 2012, Brave brought along an algorithm that had the ability to produce realistic forest and vegetation. The recent updates might not seem as significant, but it shows that Pixar movies have never stopped from innovating in animation technology and have varied in the way they render their animation.

Lighting plays an important role in displaying the mood and emotions, Wall-E being the perfect example. Pixar has proved that art and science go hand-in-hand and their movies are the greatest example of that.

Remember the Luxo Jr. from the Pixar? The way they link emotions to a desk lamp is amazing. You so want to own a robotic sidekick who can understand you, don’t you? The robots with soul, as the speaker, Guy Hoffman refers ‘em, are more of a friend than some “ROBOTIC” robots.

And as you can see, the Luxo Jr. now officially exists in real life! Helping you find your stuff eh? The lamp here shows care and grace just through motion, which quite displays emotion. It is really astounding how the same mechanical structure can seem caring and gentle by the way it moves and can also seem violent and argumentative at times. It’s surprising how attached we can get to something simply because of the way it moves. It reminds us of the Gyro Gearloose’s Little Helper!

Real Life Luxo Jr – Robots with Soul

You can do all the artistic stuff with these robots, may it be mirroring actions, as actors do, or composing music as a pro music director. These robots with soul can be your music buddy as they not only compose but also enjoy the music with you. Oh and don’t forget the rapping part, robot be like “Look at me when I’m doing my thing! Okay?” and the rapper ought to respond to it.

The way that speaker robot grooves as he appreciates your taste in music is so miraculous!

There is no second thought that robots are going to be a part of our life anytime soon, so it would be far better to have robots with soul, who can fit in our daily lives seamlessly, and do not behave as some “ALIEN” object. They should be allowed to react and to disagree with you at times. After all, we are humans, and imperfections are our best assets, so the robots who will be our mate should also be allowed to be somewhat imperfect instead of being flawless.
