Last summer, the USPS collaborated with Disney/Pixar and released a series of postage stamps in celebration of the animation studio’s 25th Anniversary. Titled “Send A Hello,” the stamps included characters from Up, Wall-E, and Ratatouille. The USPS then announced a second series of Pixar stamps, titled “Mail A Smile,” which spotlights A Bug’s Life, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, and Monsters, Inc..

Opens June 15th at Disneyland California!
There is a little over a month left until the grand opening of Cars Land at Disney California Adventure, which has Imagineers putting the finishing touches on the huge expansion to the park. Much of the buzz about the new themed land has come from announcements made by Disney on the web. Now, Disney Parks has unveiled the first spot featuring a near-finished look at Cars Land.
Happy Mother’s Day!
One of the reasons that Pixar films are so memorable is their excellent musical scores. Amazon.com recently posted a listing for the soundtrack for Brave, which is now available for pre-order. Along with the cover art, the page reveals a few previously unknown details about the movie’s music.
Like Cars 2, Brave will be available on a physical CD; Toy Story 3 and Up were digital-only releases. The product description confirms a rumor that Scottish Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis will be contributing songs to the soundtrack. In addition, British folk rock band Mumford & Sons will be performing a song for the film. Of course, the album will also include Patrick Doyle’s score (his first for Pixar).
The Brave soundtrack is set to release on June 19, 2012. The film will follow on June 22 in North America.
Amazon has updated the page with a track listing. Be warned that the titles may contain spoilers.
