In Disney/Pixar’s 10th animated feature,
Up, the directors looked at two fundamental geometric shapes—a square and a circle—also iconic shapes in computer graphics, and used those as the visual style for the film. Yet, like all the studio’s films, the visual palette goes hand in hand with the unremarkable storytelling that is a hallmark of Disney/Pixar.

Experience the digital magic behind this incredible film, which unfolds in technical detail in the June issue of
Computer Graphics World magazine, as writer Barbara Robertson takes readers behind the scenes of this 3D stereoscopic movie.
