I always love it when the two areas that I'm passionate about - Physics and Disney - merge in a single article or story. One such case earlier was when I discovered that Enrico Fermi was a "fan" of Winnie the Pooh stories and was using various characters from those stories to name some of his equipment/detectors.
Chalk this up to another one. In this month's issue of Physics Today (a monthly journal that all members of the American Physical Society and the Society of Physics Students receive), there is an article on the physics of animation. It includes various Disney/Pixar movies and a comment from a Pixar researcher. It gives some idea of what goes "under the covers" when these gorgeous animation movies are made, and it certainly involves a lot of physics.
