The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York announced Monday that it will host an exhibition devoted to Pixar Animation Studios, the digital animation juggernaut that has produced such family favorites as the "Toy Story" franchise, "Finding Nemo" and "Ratatouille."
"Pixar: The Design of Story" is scheduled to open Oct. 8 at the museum on the Upper East Side and will run for about 10 months through Aug.
