There's no doubt that Pixar's collection of computer animated films are hugely successful. Not just the financial box office records that seem to be broken each year but with kids and adults. Kids love the characters and the colourful designs and funny plots.
Adults know they can trust the Pixar brand to be both rewarding viewing experience for themselves and their kids. Invariably it means they don't have to think too much about spending upwards of fifty dollars taking the family to see a movie.
Recently Pixar have joined forces with comics studio, Boom! To continue the stories of their favourite characters in a series of comic books aimed squarely at kids. Many of the favourite Pixar characters have further adventures in these comics and some may even be set before the film in question.
Wall-e for example is the subject of his own comic, the first story arc of which was entitled "Recharge". The comic is set before the movie when our favourite robot was just one of many cleaning up the planet. The Toy Story comics are set after the first Toy Story movie and continue Buzz and Woody's adventures between the first two films.
There are also comics for the characters of Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Monsters Inc and Cars, all of which continue the adventures of Pixar's endearing creations. Generally the art work is brilliant and captures the essence of the characters very well. The stories of course keep in mind Pixar's established lexicon and don't venture into areas that kids won't expect.
You can buy all the stories in bind up graphic novel editions which will stand up to multiple readings or the single issue comics can also be bought from comic retailers each month. Either way these are stories that kids and adults will love and, like the films, revisit time after time.
