Events: Pixar Themed Pumpkin Carving (2015)

Happy Halloween everyone!! As usual, I hope you had a fun, safe and festive holiday.

Just a few months ago, I did a post (find it HERE if you missed it) covering the Pixar themed pumpkins that my wife Brita and I carved back in October 2013 and 2014. Well, here we are once again for round three...this time representing Pixar's two 2015 theatrical releases: Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur!

In my last Pixar pumpkin post, I had mentioned the possibility of doing a flaming Anger pumpkin this year. I ended up sticking to that idea since it was just too perfect to pass up! We also added a Good Dino one as well (featuring the film's brilliant signature logo), since I thought it would be cool to represent both Pixar films this year; plus I came across some fantastic free online templates that really helped.

Since Brita is the pumpkin carving master, she wanted to take on the challenge of doing [the more complex] Anger one. I took on the Good Dino one, which was more my speed.

Check out our process from beginning to end below!

We knew we wanted Anger to have flames in the design (for obvious reasons), so Brita added some fantastic additions to the template herself!

Here they are tonight, all lit up! We're super happy with how both of these turned out.

The instructions on The Good Dinosaur template recommended lighting the pumpkin with a green glow stick...so that's exactly what I did! What I clever idea; I totally wouldn't have thought of that on my own. Great effect!

Isn't Anger just great? Huge props to Brita and her skills! It could very well be her best work yet.

There you go! Another successful, magical Halloween. If you're looking to download these same templates for your future pumpkin carving, check out Anger (as well as all the other emotions) HERE and the Good Dino one HERE.
