Earlier this month we were lucky enough to chat with Pixar's localization artist, Laura Meyer, and we couldn't help but be intrigued as she described the process that takes place when preparing a film for release outside of the U.S. market. As an artist, Laura is one member of the small, yet bustling localization team (which also has ties to the Post Production department). During our interview, we spent a bit of time discussing examples of Laura's work and rather than just talk about it we wanted to visually show screenshots from
Monsters University (one of the films we discussed) to better illustrate the changes that take place across regions.

To get started, we reached out to our friends, Luis at
Pixar Brasil Blog and Fabien at
Pixar Planet France to ask for their assistance. Luckily, they were just as excited as we were to help out and we can't thank them enough for taking the time to capture screenshots from their local copies of
Monsters University to help with our post.
Additionally, be sure to listen to our entire interview with Laura Meyer included on
Episode 34 of the Pixar Post Podcast. We guarantee her personal story will engage and inspire you.
