Our Mission Statement
Mark Young (left) and Danny Vincent (right) are aiming to watch every single Pixar "thing" ever made. That includes features, shorts, tech demos, TV shows, documentaries and more. Moreover, our goal in watching these pieces of media is to discover just why Pixar has captured our mind, and track our own personal growth with Pixar as our timestamps in life.
