Zelda’s Legend Crosses Generations Thanks to the Nintendo Switch’s Latest Adventure

I still remember the very first time I saw The Legend of Zelda. It was the mid ’80s and we were visiting my cousins David and Michael in Parsippany, NJ. Nothing else about that trip comes to mind at all except for the moment I walked in their house, went downstairs and saw the most beautiful, shiny thing ever.

The Cars 3 Director and Producers Pop the Hood on What Makes Lightning McQueen Tick

I’d grab my bowl of Golden Grahams, add milk and a spoon and plop myself down on the floor of the den, while …

The Cars 3 Animation and Effects Teams Breathe Life into the Next Generation of Cars

by Andrew Kardon

It happens to the best of them. Michael Jordon. Tiger Woods. Mickey Mantle. Joe Montana. The superstars of yesteryear face the end of their careers, as the brash, young newcomers take centerstage. Why would we expect anything different from the star of Cars 3: Lightning McQueen?
