[@AsdfghjkL-lv6kb]

What I really love about Pixar is that the story doesn’t end like the protagonist wanted but that it is still a happy ending

[@hamzaal-khairulla3182]

That why they are magical. They present real life emotion and circumstances unlike Disney with the happy ending and the protagonist getting what s/he wants.

[@atomic_crescentroll8054]

Yeah it’s, unpredictable

[@paigelamar7658]

Yeah, I love how these movies tackle wants vs needs. The main character believes what he wants is what he needs, but it turns out that what he needed was something entirely unexpected.

[@Walawaliguili97]

My favorite example of this is Lightning McQueen’s story. Beginning: Hot shot, piston cup hungry rookie racecar trying to do everything on his own. End: Not gonna go there and spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen Cars!

[@Legoluke197]

To an extent. I think that whole “connecting and capturing the realism” etc was part of the reason why say beauty and the beast still works as a live action but lion king doesn’t.

[@ratboygirl]

@@Legoluke197 yes! the lion king remake was just so... boring? expected? the cgi looked incredible but it removed any sort of connection.

[@radianzero]

The thing I like about the Pixar theory, is that you generally think that each movie is in its own world. But the chance it could be all connected is amazing.

[@radianzero]

Off topic but yeah.

[@yourcordialvermillionchapw2398]

Yep it's somewhat intimidating to think about, it makes you think even in our timeline.

[@Finkelfunk]

They are VERY much connected. There is a toy chest in the dentists office in "Finding Nemo" where Buzz Lightyear is lying, Boo hands Sully a Nemo doll in "Monster Inc", in the credits of "Finding Nemo" Mike Wazowski swims by. They have no shortage of hints to other movies indicating this is all one universe.

[@Finkelfunk]

@@minecreeeperstv5054 They are easter eggs that hint at a connectiom to the other franchises. The fact that they fit in so well with Pixars animation style across the board only supports that.

[@dahvyee]

When you mentioned "how do you treat your old toys"
I genuinely get sad/feel sad for my older toys when they have been neglected or I have to throw them away or whatever. Its like they were always there for me and somewhere along the line...I stopped being there for them. Even if it is just some inanimate object, I feel like I am doing them some sort of wrong. Its so weird.

[@M50A1]

This is why i don't like throwing things away

[@rhiannonthrasher7747]

I think that's kind of the point. I know I feel the same way when I think of my old toys. And I have a deeper appreciation for my family, and greater respect for Dia de Muertos than I did before.

[@betaman2009]

That part about how Toy Story changed our reality about how we see toys was really powerful

[@RSpudieD]

Same here! I know people think I'm a little "odd" with that, but inanimate or not, they deserve respect.

[@jobuscuswafer1716]

Mmmmm I don't fully agree with that due to the addition of things like the ray tracing and detailed texture mapping that exist today. In Finding Dory you can see how much better CGI and Visual Effects have gotten since the days of Nemo. You are right though. They are crazy good looking for when they where made.

Every single Pixar film is an experiment for the study of new animation techniques, the stories are generally well written, for example Docter and Stanton, and every voice cast sounds so emotional, these are what makes Pixar a masterpiece to billions of audiences

[@michaelstrong5383]

@@dancingharrison Ah. Fair, yeah that is the most notable thing about Up. I guess something like The Incredibles or Monsters Inc. would've been better used in the example.

@@shivanedadi4029 I don't think you understood what I meant. When they finish the shot and it comes the time to export it they "render it" rendering does not have that much to do with the skill of the artist.
