We’re here with Toronto’s own Jason to talk Turning Red! And in case the any of you Shinkai-heads out there follow us were thinking that you could easily find the missing film we mention, I ALREADY LOOKED and only ONE of his student films is available in low quality on YouTube. “The World Be Enclosed” seems to only be available in a series of still images. It is a sad to think the quest will never be completed, but perhaps it is best to accept his desires and mitigate his contempt.

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.
