George and AJ is a short film-cum-animatic that, until today, was only officially available as an extra with the iTunes release of Up that was released online by Pixar.
Like Burn-E or Jack Jack Attack before it, this is a side story to the main narrative of the associated feature film, in this case featuring Shady Oaks caretakers George and AJ dealing with the aftermath of Carl’s big escape.

Today, Google is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street with a special Big Bird logo in the US. But, in the UK, Google is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Wallace and Gromit, the main characters in a series of beautiful British animated films. The pair appear on Google’s homepage with Wallace looking through a magnifying glass, which forms an “o” and Gromit drinking a cup of tea while holding a spanner, which forms the “l” in Google.

Rian Johnson, director of The Brothers Bloom:
This is a very crude animatic of the opening childhood sequence from The Brothers Bloom that I created early in the pre-production process. As will be immediately and humiliatingly evident, I did all the voices myself. The artwork consists of storyboards by the very talented Daniele Auber, and it was all put together on my laptop in Final Cut Pro.

Lookout! Domo Invades 7-Eleven Stores
The coolest thing since The Simpsons has just invaded 7-Eleven stores. Yep, it’s Domo, the lovable-but strange Japanese character with an affinity for Japanese meats and a strong hatred for apples that has something to do with an unexplained mystery in his DNA (no lie). So, as you go for your Fuji-Frost slurpee (Domo’s custom flavor), lookout for Domo.
