If you’ve been reading my Toy Story 3 interviews, then you know I went to Pixar Animation Studios last weekend for the film’s press day. Pixar is a one of those places everyone wants to work and everyone wonders why their workplace can’t have things like a cereal bar or massage therapists on staff. The answer to the first question is that they have hundreds of applications and very few open positions. The answer to the second question is that your workplace probably hasn’t made movies that together grossed over $5.5 billion worldwide.
But I was able to walk around in total awe of the place. I took plenty of photos and you can check them out after the jump. But I must warn you: if seeing me have fun causes you physical pain, then this article isn’t for you.
