Cottage from a Fairy Tale
/For the SF shows, we stayed across the bay in a little cottage in back of a friend's house. We used this location for a really great photo shoot, but first we took this test shot below. A few of the Hippos are missing so we were happy to have some furry stand-ins.
Live view of a Hippo Show
/Our friend, Matt Jones, came to the show in San Francisco on Monday and made this amazing drawing that he posted on his Twitter feed. Matt Jones is a story artist at Pixar. Follow him on Twitter @Jonezee99 and at mattjonezanimation.blogspot.com
