A few of Pixar’s top talents have generously agreed to contribute some unique items which are up for bidding right now on eBay, 100% of proceeds going to the Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC).
TWC does some amazing work with wildlife rescue and rehab here in the Toronto area. I like them because they’re super-local (although they have been known to treat stowaways from as far away as Costa Rica) and have built an excellent reputation as a federally registered charity since opening nearly twenty years ago.
As the only place of its kind in Southern Ontario (an area teaming with wildlife, I can attest), the TWC is one of the busiest wildlife centres in North America. The Centre admits about 5,000 sick, injured, or orphaned “patients” ever year, and fields about 30,000 phone calls.
Here is the cool stuff you can get (click for auction pages):
- Pixar Logo Men’s Cap (Studio Store Exclusive)
- Pixar Logo Women’s Cap (Studio Store Exclusive)
Update (Mar. 15): With $1000 raised so far, I've added to more exciting items to the auction. First another limited edition La Luna poster, this one signed by Enrico Casarosa. Second, a tour of Pixar's campus in Emeryville for up to six people!
Shout out to Pixar publicity for helping to set it up!
Update: (Mar. 20) The first ever Big Screen Animation auction is officially closed. Over $5,700 raised for the Toronto Wildlife Centre! Not surprisingly, the tour ofWonka's chocolate factory Pixar's studio campus got the most bids. It sold for an astonishing $4,617 USD.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the auction a huge success!

I see there's only shipping to Canada and the USA. Absolutely no chance of shipping elsewhere? Even if the winner pays shipping?
Wow, this is a great idea Mike. I have no money, but I hope this goes well, sounds like a great use of money to me. Well done.
Yeah, bit of a swing and a miss keeping it limited to North America like that, coulda done with some La Luna artwork.
I'll do international shipping next time.
I agree. Great idea!
I can send the sketch internationally ... it'll be my donation to TWC ...
Cool stuff!
The sketch is beautiful! I'm so happy to have my own La Luna poster hanging up at my place. It's so beautiful :)
I really want to buy one of the shirts!! But if I buy the shirt, is it one of those things where you should put it in a glass box instead of wearing it? Haha!
They are really good quality shirts. They are meant to be worn!
I would gladly wear it everywhere!
What a success, Mike! Thank you
