Pixar has a habit of hiding nifty little Easter Eggs in each of their films. Whether its nods to the classroom A113 or the Luxo Ball, or a tease of what’s to come, you’re more then likely to find some sort of Pixar related reference in each of these films.
Now, just in time for Easter Sunday, Pixar has an Easter Egg hunt of their own you can participate in just by using the “Discover” section of the “Disney Movies Anywhere” streaming site.
While the clip after the jump doesn’t cover Pixar’s entire library of films, it is a great way to introduce you to the history of the Easter Eggs, and how you can spot them. Hit the jump to see the full video by Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich. [Read more...]

With the viral marketing campaign revived, and the MTV Movie Awards having aired, Fox released a brand new clip to help promote X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

The new clip sees the X-Men of the Future, Blink (Fan Bingbing), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page), Colossus (Daniel Cudmore), Sunspot (Adan Canto), Bishop (Omar Sy) and Warpath (Booboo Stewart) all working together to defend against a Sentinel attack.
