]]> Pixar has given us many amazing animated movies over the years, but Up still remains one of its most beloved classics. Porcelain artist Dani Veliz is a huge fan of this gut-wrenching tale, and she’s crafting the most astonishing porcelain figurines inspired by this movie.

Veliz is a talented porcelain artist from Santiago, Chile, who usually works with cold porcelain clay. Her work is mostly inspired by Pixar and Disney classics, and a single look at her Instagram page will immediately tell you which movie holds a special place in her heart.  

The majority of Veliz’s creations are inspired by different motifs from the beloved movie Up, which came out in 2009, won two Oscars, and inspired several short films. It chronicled the journey of a grumpy widower Carl, who decides to keep a promise to his late wife Ellie after her passing and embark on a trip to Paradise Falls they’ve always dreamed of.

Veliz’s porcelain figurines are inspired by some of the most iconic motifs from the film, including Carl’s house with countless colorful balloons tied to it. It’s her signature product, but she also made figurines of Carl and Ellie at different ages, along with several other Up characters, including Russell and Dug.

]]> Animation company Pixar has released their first short film from the new SparkShorts program they recently launched. The film is titled Purl and it covers the story of a female ball of yarn who starts a new job at a male-dominated office. In 8 short minutes, we get to see her dealing with gender equality issues in the workplace, which is a common struggle for many women today.

Creator Kristen Lester knows very well what it’s like to be the only female in the office. “My first job, I was like the only woman in the room, and so in order to do the thing that I loved, I sort of became one of the guys,” she shares. “And then I came to Pixar, and I started to work on teams with women for the first time, and that actually made me realize how much of the female aspect of myself I had sort of buried and left behind.”

See the film below.

]]> Holidays are the season when you either don’t need anything sad to distract you or that’s exactly what you need the most. Fair warning: the short film below might bring tears to your eyes, but it will also warm your heart.

Here’s the official description:

“In Bao, an aging Chinese mom suffering from empty nest syndrome gets another chance at motherhood when one of her dumplings springs to life as a lively, giggly dumpling boy. Mom excitedly welcomes this new bundle of joy into her life, but Dumpling starts growing up fast, and Mom must come to the bittersweet revelation that nothing stays cute and small forever. This short film from Pixar Animation Studios and director Domee Shi explores the ups and downs of the parent-child relationship through the colorful, rich, and tasty lens of the Chinese immigrant community in Canada.”
