You don’t have to travel to California or even to a movie theatre to get your fix of Pix. There’s a cool exhibition of Pixar art coming to New York’s Museum of Modern Art. MoMA New York is holding an exhibit of art from Pixar Animation Studios from December 14, 2005 to February 6, 2006.

In celebration of Pixar Animation Studios’ twentieth anniversary in 2006, and as part of its exhibition of Pixar animation art, MoMA presents a complete retrospective of the company’s theatrical shorts and features. In addition, Pixar and its partner, Walt Disney Pictures, have arranged for the donation of new 35mm prints of each title to the Museum’s permanent film collection, thus ensuring their continued preservation and exhibition as a theatrical art form. The series includes every Pixar feature film produced so far—Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles—as well as all the innovative short films, starting with the rarely seen The Adventures of André and Wally B, which preceded the founding of the company by two years.

In addition, MoMA NY is hosting a lecture by Pixar founder John Lasseter on Friday, December 16, 2005:
