How Pac-Man, Donkey Kong Became Giant Pixelated Creatures in "Pixels"

Not only does the unique plot and hilarious comedy of Columbia Pictures’ “Pixels” distinguish it from the crowd, but the film also looks different from other summer films. “Most visual effects movies – including movies I’ve been involved with – set out to create extraordinarily realistic visual effects,” director Chris Columbus explains.

It’s literally a three-dimensional version of the 8-bit games you used to see on your arcade screen.”
