Pixar released a series of high-res pictures of the awaited "Partly Cloudy".
I remember you the synopsis of this lovely short animated film : "Everyone knows that the stork delivers babies, but where do the storks get the babies from? The answer lies up in the stratosphere, where cloud people sculpt babies from clouds and bring them to life. Gus, a lonely and insecure grey cloud, is a master at creating ‘dangerous’ babies. Crocodiles, porcupines, rams and more—Gus’s beloved creations are works of art, but more than a handful for his loyal delivery stork partner, Peck. As Gus’s creations become more and more rambunctious, Peck’s job gets harder and harder. How will Peck manage to handle both his hazardous cargo and his friend’s fiery temperament?"

Some hours later, at 8 pm exactly, it was time for the famous Cannes Red Carpet!
Lot of balloons were given to the people in the crowd looking at the arrival of the stars.
More pîctures of all the crew on the famous "red" steps.
Top of the world! And certainly lot of fantastic and memorable emotions for all of them!
Here is avideo of this memorable moment. You can also see another video HERE.
The big press conference happened this afternoon and you can see it! It's in english, of course, the crew is answering questions from journalists coming from all over the world, and it is a fantastic document, don't miss it! You can watch it HERE.
But there is more for Disneyland Paris fans as John Lasseter during this press conference announced officially that Toy Story Playland will open summer 2010 at DLP. We all knew about it, but it hadn't been officially announced. Now it IS official and if it's John Lasseter himself who announce it, i think we can take it for sure!
Let's end with a video with the - excellent - reactions of journalists as they exit the afternoon press screening. In the first one you can see the specially designed 3D glasses!
Meanwhile at Cannes legendary Carlton Hotel they were preparing the "after" party. If i find any pictures or videos of the party, count on me to post them on D&M!
