Here's Warner in the same place. |
The entire Pixar campus is very open and green. |

The resident cafe is called Luxo, of course :) |
Cool men's room sign. |
Expecting crackers and cheese, we were surprised by the amazing food there. |

A collection of Pixar movie DVDs, all signed. |
An interesting set of art for auction. |
Who can resist having their photos taken with Mike and Sulley? |
