Pixar Movie Geocaches

Whilst looking for possible Geocaching routes last weekend I noticed a new series of caches had been published around the village of Ashby Parva. There had been thirteen caches hidden in a circular route through the fields surrounding the town. The series of caches were all based upon the Pixar movies; so being a fan of their movies we thought it would be quite fun to do.

So we set off with our picnic packed and parked the car in the centre of Ashby Parva. A short walk through a couple of fields led us to the first of the caches then we were greeted by these beautiful animals, not sure whether they are Llamas or Alpacas, but they are so cute!

We continued our walk and through the fields surrounding Ashby Parva and met lots and lots of sheep and new-born lambs. There were lots of ‘baa’ sounds coming from us as we marched across the fields.

Pixar Movie Cache Containers

As mentioned before, the Geocaching route was based upon the great Pixar movies and many of the cache containers were also Pixar movie characters. So we had the Alien for Toy Story turned into a cache container:

The awesome Nemo from the movie Finding Nemo cache container:

...and finally a small bird house representing the movie ‘Up’ cache container:

We also had cache containers disguised as characters from the movie Cars and even WALL-E. We had such a great time Geocaching around Ashby Parva and it was great to be reminded of such great films. To date Pixar have produced the following films:

Toy Story
A Bug's Life
Toy Story 2
Monsters, Inc.
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Cars
Ratatouille
WALL-E
Up
Toy Story 3
Cars 2
Brave

It is difficult to pick a favourite but if I had to I would have to say WALL-E, who is such a loveable character, a great story and the message regarding mass consumerism and littering our planet is priceless!

What is your favourite Pixar movie?
