Variety Ad Covers Up
Upcoming Pixar —
... This full cover page ad serves to raise awareness of Disney•Pixar’s campaign to get Up… up there with the Best Picture giants. Of course, a highly popular trade paper like Daily Variety (Friday issue too!) is the perfect place to do so, and it looks gorgeous! ...
Up For Best Picture and a Look Back at Steve Jobs’ 1997 Goal to Establish Pixar as the Third Brand in Movies
/Film —
... Disney purchased the front cover of the Hollywood trade newspaper Variety to push Pixar’s computer animated film Up for Award season (thanks to Awards Daily for the scan). The advertisement FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION section pushes the feature for not only the Best Animated Feature category, but also Best Picture (an no, this isn’t a surprise). With ten best picture nominees, Up is sure to at least get a nod, but does the film really have a chance for Best Picture? It’s interesting that they are selling the Best Picture campaign purely on the opening of Up, and the ...
Pixar's Up Gets a Gorgeous For Your Consideration Ad in Variety
FirstShowing.net —
... studios run at this time of year. Basically, full-page ads are taken out in the trade mags to get Academy voters to consider that movie when they're voting. It's part of the epic political process of getting a movie nominated at the Oscars. While this may seem a bit odd to those not a part of the industry, I like these ads because they're always beautifully designed and always highlight a great movie. For example, this full-page ad for Pixar's Up (scanned via Awards Daily) is quite gorgeous and shows that Disney really wants this to win Best ...
UP For Your Consideration
We Are Movie Geeks —
... I loved Pixar’s UP so much. It makes my heart warm to see that this film is campaigning for a spot in the ten Best Picture nominees for this year’s Academy Awards. Variety has the spread below in their daily edition, which has been scanned by the kind folks over at Awards Daily. I personally love the use of these two photos, the first being Carl running up the hill to Ellie, leading to the second where the two of them are pointing out cloud forms. Ah this film just warms my heart. Go ahead, call me a sap. Do it. The film is campaigning for the ...

Cool: First “For Your Consideration” Ad for Disney’s UP
FusedFilm.com —
... Awards Daily had this really cool “for your consideration’ ad for Disney’s UP. I got the ad via out friends at First Showing who were also psyched to see the ad. I my opinion the tone of the ad really focuses on the heart and the beauty of the film. Disney really wants to get this film a Best Picture and rightfully so as they were snubbed on Wall*E (rightfully so). I have never been a big Oscar follower as i always think its too political in more ways than one for its own good. That being said with 10 slots for Best Picture I think the award show got good. ...
