A Bourne, a Cloon and a pirate, oh my...with the Memorial Day holiday this weekend, we're entering the prime summer movie season and it's time to get psyched. Psyched! Here's just some Hollywood flicks we're awaiting between now and Labor Day. With all of these things to see, it's probably time to spring for the econo tub of popcorn and a bucket of soda to get through it all.

Starting tonight through February 6, the MOMA presents a Pixar (Toy Story, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo) Animation Art retrospective in honor of the studio’s 20th anniversary. The film classics and rarely-seen shorts are to accompany Pixar: 20 Years of Animation – the most extensive animation gallery MOMA ever presented – which will feature interactive kiosks and over 500 works of original art, including early Edna Mode sketches, concept pieces, 35mm prints film prints, sculptures, and digital installations. In addition, the NYTimes reports that a giant zoetrope, roughly eight feet in diameter, will create the illusion of Toy Story characters moving in three-dimensional space and a MOMA curator commented that "there are a lot of references to traditional art, classic art, even recent pop art in the works... we haven't put surrealist pieces of art from the '20s next to 'Monsters, Inc.,' but it has a lot of surrealism in it. 'The Incredibles' has a lot of deco kind of stuff in it."

As the number of shopping days tick down in the single digets, you may have a few people on your list who call themselves cinephiles. Or at the very least are movie-lovers. In which case we have a few gift giving suggestions for the season. And if you've finished all your shopping already, remember that Gothamist has been a very good little weblog this year...

The next Pixar animated film, The Incredibles, has been eagerly anticipated since the teaser was shown before Finding Nemo this summer. You can see the teaser, but there's also a new John Ratzenberger introduced "Making of" preview of sorts online. (What's with John Ratzenberger, he's like a studio player for Pixar these days? Will the Pig be in The Incredibles?) Cool things Gothamist didn't realize: Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jason Lee provide voices, in addition to Craig T. "Coach" Nelson as the head Incredible.
