In this first live-action collaboration between Pixar and Disney, director Andrew Stanton brings to the screen Edgar Rice Burroughs’ pulp classic about a Civil War veteran who is relocated to Mars, where he finds a bizarre world filled with giant creatures. Long in development, the film was made possible in part through the visual effects contributions of Double Negative, Cinesite and MPC, among other vendors. Special effects supervisor Chris Corbould and creature creators at Legacy Effects provided in-camera effects.

Brad Bird directs the fourth and most ambitious of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ films, with Tom Cruise again heading the cast as IMF leader Ethan Hunt. The storyline, which has the IMF being shuttered when they are implicated in the bombing of the Kremlin, follows the force as it executes a bold plan to clear its name. Spectacular action sequences required state-of-the-art work from Industrial Light & Magic, Fuel VFX, New Deal Studios, AFX Studio and special effects supervisor Mike Meinardus.



Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson present an animated take on the illustrated adventures of boy reporter Tintin, his wire-haired terrier Snowy and their accomplice, the salty seadog Captain Haddock. Spielberg directs the first in a planned trilogy based on the art and stories of Georges Remi — aka Hergé — combining several Tintin tales into an origin story realized by performers on motion capture stages, and then brought to life in stereographic computer animation by Weta Digital and Giant Studios.		Producer and co-writer George Lucas’ pet project for more than a decade, the film is based on the real-life experiences of the Tuskegee airmen, a segregated group of African-American pilots that distinguished itself with courageous and daring aerial combat missions during World War II – realized in convincing and dynamic visual effects shots by Industrial Light & Magic. Halon, Radical 3D and Pixomondo also made significant contributions to the project.
