Here at the Googleplex we get a lot of guest lecturers come and speak. Unsurprisingly many of them are from great geek culture icons. Here's a great conversation with some of the Pixar staff on Monsters University the new animated feature film.

Lego movie may be more than just a product integration fantasy
If you're like me when you hear the words "Lego Movie" you're thinking "Battleship". Flashy Hollywood weirdness designed to destroy your fond childhood memories.
Think again.
The movie seems to tie into the humour and story telling success of the Lego video games and with a killer cast including Morgan Freeman, Will Arnett and Will Ferrell it looks like this is the next animated film to look forward to after Despicable Me 2.

Disney XD gets geek friendly
Disney has really upped its game with programming on the XD channel and we're starting to see a lot of new geek friendly material popping up in the news.
The Tron: Uprising series mixes 2D and 3D animation and starts where the Tron: Legacy movie leaves off. It features some heavy weight voice talent as well including Bruce Boxleitner reappearing as Tron, Elijah Wood voicing the main character and Lance Henriksen stepping in as the bad guy.
On top of this they're playing plenty of super hero cartoons like Ultimate Spiderman and The Avengers. Sadly they seem to have cancelled showing the Stitch! Anime series but never fear you can order it from Amazon.

X-Men: First Class Trailer
It's a Summer that's already full of deliciously nerdy comic book movies - Captain America, Thor, Green Lantern are all due for release. Is there really room for another super hero movie? After seeing this trailer I say yes!
While it's a little sad that there's no room for our Aussie hunk Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman, there is a young Professor X as played by Scottish spunk James McAvoy (made Hollywood famous by another graphic novel adaption Wanted). In my head it's his face and Patrick Stewart's voice and it is *all* *good*.
