The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science is excited to bring The\u00a0 Science Behind Pixar to South Florida on Saturday, October 10, inviting guests to step behind the scenes of some of Pixar\u2019s most beloved films and discover the science, technology, engineering, art, and math that help bring these unforgettable stories and characters to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Created by the Museum of Science, Boston and Pixar Animation Studios, and featuring more than 50\u00a0 interactive elements, The Science Behind Pixar showcases the computer science, mathematics, and creative problem-solving used by the artists and computer scientists to create these compelling films. The\u00a0 exhibition is organized into eight sections, each focusing on a step of Pixar\u2019s technical process\u2014\u00a0<\/p>\n

Modeling, Rigging, Surfaces, Sets & Cameras, Animation, Simulation, Lighting, and Rendering\u2014providing visitors with a unique view of the production pipeline and concepts used at Pixar every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guests of all ages will engage in and learn about the filmmaking process through hands-on activities inspired by some of Pixar\u2019s most treasured films, from the first-ever computer-animated feature film Toy\u00a0 Story to fan favorites including Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, WALL\u2022E, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Science Behind Pixar is an interactive exhibition that offers people a hands-on opportunity to understand how we make our films,\u201d said Jim Morris, president of Pixar Animation Studios. \u201cAt Pixar, we\u00a0 use science, technology, engineering, art and math\u2014along with a significant dash of creativity and fun\u2014 and this exhibit is truly a great demonstration of how all those ingredients come together in our\u00a0 filmmaking process.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Science Behind Pixar offers a variety of hands-on activities that empower visitors to explore the STEM\u00a0 concepts behind Pixar\u2019s films in a fun and engaging format. To better understand the science and math that go into creating the worlds and characters of Pixar\u2019s films, visitors will hear directly from members of the studio\u2019s production teams and experience different roles within the production pipeline through screen-based activities and physical interactive elements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Sets & Cameras, visitors will discover how camera placement and angles created a bug\u2019s-eye view for\u00a0 A Bug\u2019s Life. In Modeling, guests can create a digital sculpture from an artist\u2019s sketch, while Lighting challenges visitors to solve problems similar to those Pixar faced when creating underwater scenes in\u00a0 Finding Nemo. Rigging showcases how digital models are given virtual skeletons that allow animators to pose them, while Surfaces explores the techniques that give characters and environments their color and texture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guests can also take photos with human-size recreations of some of Pixar\u2019s most beloved characters,\u00a0 including Buzz Lightyear, Dory, Mike and Sulley, Edna Mode, and WALL\u2022E.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Frost Science, we are passionate about helping people discover that science is everywhere, including in the stories and characters they know and love,\u201d said Dr. Doug Roberts, President and CEO of Frost\u00a0 Science. \u201cThe Science Behind Pixar perfectly embodies our mission by demonstrating how creativity,\u00a0 technology, engineering, mathematics, and imagination come together to create extraordinary experiences. We are excited to bring this exhibition to South Florida and inspire future innovators,\u00a0 storytellers, artists, and problem-solvers of all ages.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Throughout the exhibition, guests will engage in hands-on, screen-based, and physical activities that explore the computational thinking skills behind Pixar\u2019s creative process in a compelling and participatory way. By placing guests in the role of artists, animators, and computer scientists, The Science Behind Pixar demonstrates how creativity and STEM work together to bring animated worlds to life.<\/p>\n

The Science Behind Pixar will be on view at Frost Science from Saturday, October 10, 2026, through\u00a0 Sunday, April 11, 2027. Admission to the exhibition is included with all museum admission tickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
