The next time you look at Nemo, you have to pay attention to the wool over the eyes of the fish. They are much thicker and larger than you would expect. But that was necessary so that the feelings and moods could also be transmitted effectively.

 

Finds Nemo was so successful that Pixar became the great model of many studios. In the meantime, each large production company has its own department for animated films or CGI. But Disney could not hold the water in the period that followed. With films such as the incredible, Cars, Ratatouille and Wall · e - the last one clears the earth on confirmed the California studio its position as a top dog.
