• What part of the score for “Pooh’s Hunny Hunt” (i.e., the first trackless ride at a Disney theme park) did Richard M. Sherman personally direct

• What limitation of early CG convinced Pixar’s original brain trust that they needed to make movies like “A Bug’s Life,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “Finding Nemo” & “Wall-E”

• According to early box office projections, how much is “Inside Out 2” expected to earn over its first weekend in domestic release

• In the future, what will the new release pattern be for the animated features released by Pixar Animation Studios
