A Salute to Pixar

[2kt09]

Salute to Pixar...I haven't yet seen Coco, but it really truly does feel like, outside of Finding Dory, their best days are behind them.

See Coco and you might change your mind about that.

Cars 2 is unwatchable for anyone over the age of 7. There's a reason why it's their only film that was universally panned.

I never saw any of the Cars sequels.

Inside Out is how old exactly?

The Incredibles 2 hits this year as their 20th.

Sure, sure, sure.

About to crack open Coco, after buying it recently and didn't manage to see it at the cinema (it's difficult seeing Pixar films at the cinema when you are a single male without children), read so many positive things and on the whole, have loved all the films I've seen (missed only a handful to date).

 

[Kuwolski]

I honestly haven't seen a lot of Pixar for that reason. Maybe 4 or 5 in total from TV.

Whether one likes it (or agrees with the fact that climate exists in people's opinion), walk into a Pixar film as a man alone and one is going to get a 'certain look' that one doesn't belong there, which is incredibly sad to think but it exists in this day and age.

Definitely. My children are now in their 20's. When they were young we'd see these movies together. Now I have to wait to catch them at home (the movies, not my kids).

Apart from Incredibles 2. That I'll see.

Yep, cinema for that one, definitely. Nothing stopping me from that. To be fair, I will be with more 40 something childless friends when I see it, so won't be too bad if we go as a group.

That's how I feel. If I really wanted to see something it wouldn't stop me, but ultimately I figure I can wait until home release and never get around to watching them.

The Incredibles, FTW!

Having just finished watching it, gone into 3rd place, behind Incredibles (1) and Up (2).

The Museum of Science and Industry here in Chicago has a Pixar exhibit until next year going on I may have to check out.

Screen Junkies Best of Pixar discussion....




BTW,

Spoiler: Bad Decision

The Incredibles going out 1st Round is BS !!!!

 

[Mandon Knight]

Having now seen The Incredibles 2, my re-thought top 5 is...

1) The Incredibles
2) Up
3) The Incredibles 2
4) Coco
5) Inside Out

Ratatouille just outside top 5.

 

[Iceman]

If you haven't checked out Inside Out, I'd highly recommend it Iceman.

Oh right thanks. Will do. I hadn't even heard of that one!

 

[Mandon Knight]

You'll love it, it's awesome.

Nice. What is it about (just for ref)?

Nice. What is it about (just for ref)?

It's taken from the point of view of a young girl (Riley) as she hits puberty and her relationship is distancing with her mum and dad, and her emotions are fluctuating, we then spend the story 'inside' her body with each emotion having their effect on her emotional state as they take a journey towards teenage life. It's moulded by Pixar's usual balance of emotion, laughter and pulls on the heartstrings, it's utterly glorious.

Ah interesting, and that sounds much more familiar now. I feel like I've seen a trailer for it from your description. Thanks

Have to say that this was a really great description and summary of that film. And I liked Inside Out quite much myself (in fact, a rewatch has been on my schedule for a while now).
