Popcorn Taxi: Pixar's One Man Band + Interview with Director & Producer 8th August



"Sydney Premiere of Pixar Animation's great new short 'One Man Band' + Q&A with Pixar Director Andrew Jimenez and Producer Osnat Shurer.

Pixar's 'One Man Band' has comic timing that is spot on, the animation is flawless and the imagination out of this world...' - Melbourne International Film Festival.

Popcorn Taxi is proud to present this special evening with animation giant PIXAR at CINEMA PARIS. Join us for the Sydney Premiere screening of ONE MAN BAND, their new short film and meet director ANDREW JIMENEZ and producer OSNAT SHURER.

ONE MAN BAND tells the captivating and funny tale of a peasant girl who, with one coin to make a wish at the piazza fountain, encounters street performers who would much prefer the coin to find its way into their pockets. As the buskers' rivalry builds the film climaxes in a spectacularly comic crescendo.

Computer animation behemoth PIXAR, producers of such mega-hits as TOY STORY I & 2, FINDING NEMO and THE INCREDIBLES, have stuck to their roots and continue to make extraordinary and original short films such as JACK ATTACK, BOUNDIN' and MIKE'S NEW CAR.

Tonight's show offers a unique insight into PIXAR, focusing on their short projects, and asks why they keep making them!

Including clips and behind the scenes footage tonight's program is a unique opportunity to get an insight into the methods and techniques of the world's most successful animation studio.

Popcorn Taxi would like to thank PIXAR ANIMATION and the LANTERN GROUP for making this program possible."
