“How can this strange story of God made flesh, of a crucified Savior, of resurrection and new creation become credible for those whose entire mental training has conditioned them to believe that the real world is the world which can be satisfactorily explained and managed without the hypothesis of God?

I don't know how they do it but they astound me.” PeopleKnowsWorldHumansLooksRealCharacterStoriesLinesKnow HowWrittenAdventureAnd LoveCome UpDimensionsPlotReal WorldPlausiblePixarPlot Lines Author:Tom Hanks
“Motion pictures are just beginning to live up to their true potential of being immersive experience - going from beyond black and white flickering images to fully immersive 3D color high-definition. You don't even know where the real world starts and the fake world begins. And yet, none of that's going to matter unless the story and the emotions that they allow us to become invested in are something that we can recognize. Pixar is able to do this in ways that almost defies speculation.” KnowsWorldWayRealMatterStoriesAbleBlackWhiteEmotionColorDefinitionsFakeReal WorldBlack And WhiteSpeculationMotion PicturesPixarTrue PotentialHigh DefinitionFake World Author:Tom Hanks
