Melbourne Gets Really Animated

Recognise this lamp? Does it look vaguely familiar, perhaps? Think Pixar, the wonderfully creative animation studio. Yep, you figured that one out pretty quick. It's the lamp that is synonymous with Pixar's work. In recognition of their 20th anniversary, there is an enthralling exhibition of their work, titled Pixar: 20 Years Of Animation at the ACMI which is the Australian Centre For The Moving Image here at Federation Square in Melbourne. Unfortunately, no photographs were allowed indoors at the exhibition itself, but this lamp (I reckon it's about six meters high) is outside Fed Square. That's Flinders Street in the background and the domed building is the State Theatre, with Part of Fed Square visible on the right.

FOOTNOTE: The silence of the lamps.
