Pixar has been at the forefront of 3D animation innovations for nearly 30 years, developing new methods and technologies with nearly every new project. With their newest feature film “Elemental” hitting theaters, we take a look back at the ways Disney/Pixar has evolved over time. The studio has made advancements in how characters move, going from robotic motion in 1995’s “Toy Story” to characters who can intricately play music in “Coco” and “Soul.” In the early Pixar days, human characters were hidden in the shadows, but breakthroughs in movies like “The Incredibles” and “Brave” paved the way for more believable human characters. And clothes, which were once stiff, took center stage in “Onward” thanks to innovations from movies like “Monsters Inc.”

The Primanima International First-Film Animation Festival is back, marking its 10th edition in Budaörs this year. This year, the animated short films arrive earlier than usual—running from October 5 to 8—at the Mór Jókai Cultural Center and BABtér, with Saturday events also taking place at the Municipal Youth Club. In addition to screenings for adults, teens, and children, there will once again be workshops, discussions, and, of course, parties. Professional programs are taking on a new format, and Primanima Jumpstart—a hybrid talent development program—is launching as well.
