Royce Hall
Royce Hall is a building on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Designed by the Los Angeles firm of Allison & Allison (James Edward Allison, 1870–1955, and his brother David Clark Allison, 1881–1962) and completed in 1929, it is one of the four original buildings on UCLA's Westwood campus and has come to be the defining image of the university. The brick and tile building is in the Lombard Romanesque style, and once functioned as the main classroom facility of the university and symbolized its academic and cultural aspirations. Today, the twin-towered front remains the best known UCLA landmark. The 1800-seat auditorium was designed for speech acoustics and not for music; by 1982 it emerged from successive remodelings as a regionally important concert hall and main performing arts facility of the university. Named after Josiah Royce, a California-born philosopher who received his bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley in 1875, the building's exterior is ...

Surf's Up (film)
''Surf's Up'' is a 2007 American computer-animated mockumentary comedy film produced by Sony Pictures Animation. Directed by Ash Brannon and Chris Buck, the film features the voices of Shia LaBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, Mario Cantone, James Woods, and Diedrich Bader. It is a parody of surfing documentaries, such as ''The Endless Summer'' and ''Riding Giants'', with parts of the plot parodying '' North Shore''. Real-life surfers Kelly Slater and Rob Machado have vignettes as their penguin surfer counterparts. To obtain the desired hand-held documentary feel, the film's animation team motion-captured a physical camera operator's moves. The film was released on June 8, 2007 by Sony Pictures Releasing through Columbia Pictures, and received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for the animation and humor. The film grossed $152 million during its theatrical run against a budget of $100 million. It was nominated at the 80th Academy Awards for Best A ...

How To Hook Up Your Home Theater
''How to Hook Up Your Home Theater'' is a 2007 American animated comedy short film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, directed by Kevin Deters, and co-directed by Stevie Wermers-Skelton. It was the first theatrical Goofy solo cartoon short in since ''Goofy's Freeway Troubles'' 42 years earlier. Plot In the style of Goofy's "Everyman" cartoons of the 1950s, this short follows Goofy as he buys and then sets up his home cinema system to watch football. Production The short was partially produced using a new "paperless" production pipeline for Disney, the first major change in production technique for hand-drawn animation at Disney since the introduction of CAPS, and was also an attempt to see if the new digital animation tools could be used to produce a short with the same graphic look as that of a late 1940s, early 1950s cartoon. Instead of animating with pencil on paper, some of the animators, such as Dale Baer, worked on Wacom's cintiq tablets along with Toon Boom Ha ...

Your Friend The Rat
''Your Friend the Rat'' is a 2007 American computer animated short film by Pixar. The special takes on the form of an educational film and stars rats Remy and Emile, the main protagonists of ''Ratatouille'', who argue for the reconciliation of humans and rats. They use historical facts presented via various styles of animation in a style similar to the ''Adventures in Music'' shorts, ''Melody'' and ''Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom''. This is Pixar's only special to feature traditional animation; at eleven minutes, it is also the 3rd longest Pixar special to date.

This is also Pixar's only special to have a cameo of a protagonist of a film that would be released a year later, which was a cameo of ''WALL-E''. ''Your ...
