We had a Rootin’ Tootin’ good time at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan back in October of 2017. Pixar had come to town to teach one and all about the science behind how everyone’s favorite animated classics are made.

This was a limited-engagement event that required a paid admission above and beyond your museum price. But as members, we got in free!

Or at least asked to come back later. So what did we find inside? Take a look:

And of course, what would a Disney/Pixar ‘attraction’ be without the obligatory opportunity to spend some money?

Yes, I bought the t-shirt above. It’s awesome! And so was the exhibit. It was nice to see that it was marketed to schools so that they could schedule field trips for the students. There was so much to learn and I’m sure it inspired future generations of animators!

Check out this short video of the inside of the exhibit:

Oh, and on the way out, there was a cool photo-op. I think I made a pretty good action figure!
