15 Major Differences Between Disney And Pixar Movies
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- In 2006, after a slew of successful animated films (Toy Story, The Incredibles, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo), Disney purchased Pixar studios which then went under the “Disney Umbrella.” Before they got bought out, it was pretty clear what the difference between Pixar and Disney was. And guess what, that still seems to be true despite being absorbed by such a large company with such a huge legacy. Pixar Studios is now owned by Disney, but you just know deep down they’re still different right? The characters still look different. The stories are still very distinct. The villains are more villainous. Or maybe they’re less villainous? And that one Pixar character actually looks like my own Aunt Cass!
Encanto is just so Disney. Onward is just so Pixar. How can such a distinct style persist within an already existing animation studio?
Are you Turning Red trying to figure out why? Luca no further than TheThingsAnimated for solace. You’re not alone, we agree, and we’ve worked hard using string, photos, and bobby pins covering our WALL-E to connect the dots. The answer isn’t Lightyears away, we’ve got 15 reasons right here that Disney and Pixar are different.
Unlike your cousin Bruno, we’re going to talk about your favorite Disney scenes, your favorite Pixar characters, your favorite Disney songs, and your favorite Pixar voice actors from Pixar and Disney’s long and excellent history of animated films. So get a big bucket of popcorn, defrost a Frozen II pizza, and enjoy!

For the visuals, i think that disney is trying to be the most realistic possible(especially for the backgrounds), while pixar is slowly trying to stylise its movies like in turning red or luca for example
True, but funny how that leads to Disney ending up with idealized visuals (majestic landscapes, model body types [albeit they are sloooowly loosening up there], cleaned up anthropomorphic animals) while Pixar has the more every day body types, plain but still wide and real land/cityscapes, and dares to make its animals fuzzy (= "not relying on cute").
A story with pretty magical beings in a (more or less) historically (and architecturally) accurate environment by Disney may look more surreal and fantastical than a story about ...living cars set in a world that is a freaky (less accurate, often exaggerated) superficial (stream-lined?) replication of ours.
However, the lines are (beginning to get) blurry - visually, tonally and thematically.
[Edited bc I accidentally tried to make Ratatouille a pure Disney movie, which serves to stress my last point XD)
Yeah, Pixar really likes playing with faces shapes like Up
Meanwhile Shrek
yeah!!💗💗
Weird for me it's the opposite. Sure Disney is very stylized, but grounded in real world anatomy and the aesthetics of drawings, paintings and dolls. Disney humans at the very least skew more humans like in an idealized way. While Pixar is more radical in their human design choices. Mr.Incredible, Captain McCrea, Mama Coco and the like are more cartoony compared to a Flynn Rider, Elsa or Hiro Hamada. It's only Lightyear in my opinion that went full realism.
Its true about the endings in Pixar. While the story wrapped up, you can tell the characters aren't done going on with their lives and struggles. We even see after credits in Pixar movies showing that the characters still trying to adjust with their lives.
Right on point. This is why they make incredible sequels on top of that. Although the main conflict is resolved, there is still so much for the characters left which can be incorporated in another film.
I'm still crying about luca
@@brewloml5079we all are
Like in Wall-E when humans started all over again on Earth, and in Up when Carl had a new adventure book documenting his life with Russell and Doug.
Disney is aspirational and timeless. Pixar is reflexive and in the moment. They complement each other pretty much.
Yes, exactly
(灬ºωº灬)
Agreed
Like Cola and Pepsi
@@timgorg1919 (´,,•ω•,,) maybe
I feel like disney have fully princess theme fantasy land, lovers, something that not going to happen in the real world but Pixar have more reality based story's it not always happily ever after. I do more appreciate Pixar because of their carcheters how they looks.
What’s your fave Pixar movie? 🍿
What I don't like about Pixar is how much they anarchy the reality that it feels utterly childish. Like, house floating on balloons, a girl is transforming into panda and everyone is like okay with it.
What I like is world development. In Moana, Encanto, frozen I know its fantasy land anything could happen. Even in frozen, reaction of citizens to sorcery is very real. Compared to turning red or Luca.
@@TheThingsAnimated turning red
@@jyotsnasrivastava6373that’s what makes Pixar more unique and have a free of Thoughts, its unique.
@@jyotsnasrivastava6373 it is strange how moments like that can be as bizzare as possible and every character isn't phased by it, but those bizzare storylines always have metaphors and important messages for the viewers to understand. That's what makes them great.
For me, Disney is when you want to escape from the real world and Pixar is when you want to live in a better version of it.
Yeah Toy Story is like the real world
The Disney character designs were made to be very distinctive. You could see a silhouette and know who it is
pixar too imo
@@biancamariafrondoni7051 same
Honestly, if it weren't for the princesses' hairstyles, I would not be able to tell their silhouettes apart. As the video noted, they're all pretty much hourglass-shaped.
I’ve noticed that Pixar seems to be a LOT more diverse than Disney and I can’t be the only one
If anything, I think Disney's more diverse tho? I mean, most of the Pixar characters I remember aren't even human.
@@ceebbees12345 hence, diverse.
Yep Pixar definitely has its way of getting you in the feels for their movies and even as a young adult both studios have really influenced and helped shaped the person I am today... 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
Except Turning Red. The movie just made me feel annoyed with the little brat who didn't get any better and if anything only was even more of a brat by the end. The only character development was her mom no longer being overprotective but instead not being protective enough. Her dad almost had character development but instead of being equal as a parent, he only said what he wanted to tell her and then continued to not have a say in anything that happened. Such a weird movie.
@@flatsamiscool true
@@flatsamiscoolHow was she a brat? She always did what her mom told her, yet her mom was still overprotective and toxic as hell. This movie portrays exactly what happens when parents behave this way.
@@tmm4195 She completely goes against many different things she says and yells "My panda, my choice!" Which makes a piece of me díe inside every time I think of it, but she's just annoying af. She goes out into the city on her own and goes against many of the things she's told to do. She's thirteen. Not an adult. She absolutely should be respecting her mom just like anyone of any age should, but especially thirteen year olds.
@@flatsamiscool You understand she always respected her mom until her mom got too overbearing right? Like literally going to the store and completely humiliating her and creeping at her school watching her through binoculars. It’s called generational trauma and her mom was putting her through her it.
Disney often brings us stories we already know and make them child friendly, take the brother grimm stories, shakespear stories, hans christian anderson stories. Pixar makes new stories.
I feel like Disney is really limited, they don’t do a lot of opened stuff, meanwhile Pixar likes to make things relatable and make people feel more opened up, and they don’t care about who or what you are, they accept anything.
I highly think Big Hero 6 got smothered by Frozen. As they came out within months of eachother. Everyone was Frozen obsessed. But big hero 6 is one of my all time favourites that I can just watch and watch again. I will always say that. Alot of people I know have never heard of Big Hero 6! Its shocking. Its a complete masterpiece and the music was perfect ❤ and how can you not love Baymax, I was balling my eyes out at the end. If you haven't seen it, I 100% recommend it. 👏🏼👏🏼
Baymax (as we call it in Japan) was huge here. I actually went to see the movie AND bought the DVD through the hype. Japan loves films that you leave you bawling at the end. That said, the Frozen hype has definitely lasted longer.
Pixar films are deeper and more mature. As we grow up, we learn that happy ever afters are rare in our real world, and we become more accepting and appreciating of the endings of Pixar films.
going with pixar. i'm a huge pixar fan & would choose almost any of theirs over almost any of disneys
Me too.
well yeah I feel like Coco’s existence is completely ignored in most of his points lol
and Brave…XD
I mean.....the director change in Brave was stupidly obvious & to its detriment, so i'll give that one a pass
yeah can you please tell me why? i mean i dont know why they didnt mention coco and brave?
I feel like pixars demographic is also different, adults can watch and relate. Where as Disney is more driven towards children.
disney may be more driven towards children but they still have pretty deep messages and adults can relate. When encanto came out I seen more adults talking about it than children
I still love both Disney and Pixar movies ever since, I was a kid.
Same =)
I only love Pixar ones but theres a few i like from Disney
I've seen Raya and the Last Dragon a couple times.
I don't think it's terrible, but it's definitely not as good as other Disney films.
When I saw it the first time, up until the reveal that the other girl was actually tricking her, I legitimately thought it was gonna be the first girl on girl love interest.
I thought the same thing actually. There was heavy sapphic subtext, however unintentional
"It doesn't matter if there 42 78 a robot" best line.
I'm sorry, LION KING TWO? WAS I LIVING UNDER A ROCK
I feel like people have been a bit harsh on Pixar lately…
Personally I really enjoyed Luca and Turning red, and after the last dinosaur, I feel like Pixar has been getting back in their groove (unlike Disney) 🤔
But they're really trash on Lightyear, Turning red(optional), and Strange World
6:09 ah yes, the three ages, 42, 78, and robot
thank you for putting it into words, now I fully understand why Pixar has a special place in my heart.
Disney(new): the kids will love it. Pixar: the family will love it.
Yeah exactly
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the title was "Pixar makes us cry and contemplate our existence" and "Disney has happy endings"
THANK YOU!!! ... Finally someone who tried to emphasize the difference between Disney and Pixar movie.... or between Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios.
I am really angry when somebody is putting these two together in one box as Disney movies. Pixar was, is and always will be different (better) and never as all other Disney movies.
I feel like Disney movies always have the same structure as far as the order of events goes but for Pixar, the event orders change so you never really know which way the story will go and that's what makes Pixar more likely to pull heartstrings as well. If something sad happens, it isn't always predictable from the beginning of the movie but for Disney it is
a difference for me is that i like modern Pixar movies but not Disney ones. i like old Disney.
I miss old Disney
@@TripleAAABatteriesStudio me too
Me too.
I love how you talked about the musical montages! The up montage made me cry though 😢
What I don't understand is: What is the big deal? Everyone fusses about it. But, they're under the same company. Sure the stories and styles are different but you shouldn't need to choose between them. Just love both! One offers realistic storylines, and one offers fantasy. One offers magic and royalty, and one offers people we see just on the other side of the street. One shows happy ever after, and one shows a more realistic ending. They both are completely different, but I think that's good and you instead get the best of both worlds. So, I reiterate, why choose? Just choose both.
EXACTLY! Both are really good! People want to choose sides and fight for them. Even thought there is no need. No, they are not against each other. They both complement each other PERFECTLY! I don't understand why we can't have magic and reality together instead of having to choose.
Shut up already and let people have their own opinions. Ugghh. Live a little
I do love Disney better, it has always had a special place in my heart🥰
Great insights. I never heard of the Pixar “what if…?” approach. Nice work.
the facr i was so happy that not everyone forgot about ratatouille its just the best movie ever
others:disney or pixar
me:dreamworks!🌙
Personally, I'm always going to love Disney more than Pixar but I can definitely always see room for improvement.
LOVED this and you got all the good point down!
Dam they added aunt cause for a sassy aunt ad 😂
Great analysis!
In Disney the Protagonist is usually very likable. While in Pixar they tend to be more of a jerk, giving them room to grow. Where Disney other than learning that one lesson they didn't grow that much.
I do agree they are 2 diffrent worlds but they are equally good and i love em i love me a good princess movie while i love a lot of good real feeling but still fantasy movie its just awsome and cant forget about the time pixar animation ruled over disney in early 2010s 💖
I love what you do
You missed the live action versions: Many (Disney) vs 0 (Pixar)
Nice vid!
Pixar animation is slowly turning into what someone who took a hallucinogen would imagine.
I feel like the inclusion of lgbtq stuff isn't necessary for either company to do considering its for children and nothing about a person sex is going to make a better for them
Agreed
It’s NOT about sex, It’s about representation so kids can see themselfs and/or see how normal is to have all kinds of love, not just the same and old hetero love that has been shown and forced on us in every single media. Having lgbtq stuff won’t make the movie better but won’t hurt either…
Yea
The aim is representation. To show that it's okay to be different, to spread acceptance of different genders and sexualities. To show that they have the right to like what they like and not be ostracized for it. Boys can like feminine things, girls can like masculine things - it's their freedom to choose. It's not just about sex.
I think an obvious one was missed. Disney movies almost always have a female protagonist and Pixar movies almost always have a male protagonist.
I think Disney is aimed toward girls and Pixar is aimed towards boys because Pixar has cars superhero’s toys
Disney: Super fantasy
Pixar: fantasy but realistic
dreamworks, dreamworks makes cool sequels
If I want to cry my eyes out, I'll watch Pixar, if I want a good time and sing with characters I love, I'll watch disney
The Pixar shorts are great especially their new one: self
I feel like both are not comparable. Disney is great and I feel like they have chosen their speciality and understood their limits which is not a bad choice ( even if I feel like they're very money oriented which could be Pixar's case too idk but it could do them wrong in the future...). Pixar has a special place in my heart, it's so realistically optimistic. They have something to them, their characters are so relatable and different in their own way, they almost seem real. Their philosophy is exigent but understanding and empathetic. They are artists for sure! Also when you look at all the process they do to make every movie the most realistic and incredible way possible, it's amazing. For Up in particular. They go above and beyond the surface. Turn red was the last one I saw and it was very good! Of course they don't have the right to fail!! If they dare do one average movie that would be their last death wish...
Disney= You might cry
Pixar= Waterworks are Mandatory!
Basic theme. Disney animations tend to be about people (particularly princesses) who already have plenty but want something more. Somehow, being a princess just isn't good enough. And by the end, they get what they want, more on top of plenty.
Pixar protagonists more often start fully satisfied with their lives, happy in their moment, wanting nothing more. Then life forces a drastic, unwanted change upon them. By the end of the movie, they have not solved the problem...they've just adapted to it, learned to live with it and to be happy in spite of it. This may be why Pixar is more relatable to adults...adults will have been through more of those "life comes at you hard" moments, and a lot fewer of the "princess gets her prince" moments.
one difference between the two: Disney makes bad movies, and Pixar makes shorts that are better than most Disney movies. a fact: since Disney bought Pixar, Pixar is slowly learning to make the corny characters like Disney does. example: elemental, where it says "Elements dont mix!" and the fire girl is like "wow I hate that rule im going to be the person to change it and make the world a better place!" which is basically a lot of Disney characters like in zootopia
In disney films, the characters sing
In pixar, they don't
And that is why I love both! :D They are both amazing, and I get both out of this world fantasy, and more down to earth but still magical movies.
I love the fantasy of disney but big hero 6 was really one of my favourites sure it was sci-fi but it was so much fun. to have a more grounded experience , even though the setting doesn’t exist
DreamWorks beats both of them .
Yeah, no. We do not need more of number 12. Keep those agendas to yourself, people will flock to movies with a real story to tell.
When "Brave" got Best Animated Feature over "Wreck-It Ralph," I declared that the most Disney-like Pixar movie beat the most Pixar-like Disney movie.
I remember hearing years ago that for Pixar, at least some of these choices were conscious strategic decisions, specifically, "No princesses singing 'I Want...' songs."
You can’t compare both of em! They are awesome in their own ways! Disney is more likely for kids and Pixer is more likely for every age group. Disney always ends up with happiness but Pixer shows about the real world. Both of them are awesome i guess.
Disney writes fantasies. Pixar writes developmental journeys.
Disney is…okey but DREAMWORKS
The thing is Disney story are more self-aware based, a hero's journey while Pixar's story involves many characters, a sense of community based stories not just the self
I can't even distinguish between a Disney and Pixar movie
4:03 it's fantastque vs fantasy
pls write pixar where ever pixar movies are used
✅Noted for next time!
I love both of these for these exact reasons, both very important factor, because without disney we wont learn about some lessons, and without Pixar we wont learn about others. They both have an important role, we always have to think realistic but keep an open mind.
Yeah, the "xyz lets gravity decide this" trope. Villains do tend to fall to their deaths with alarming frequency
Ngl, Disney gives me a more curious and mysterious fantasy feeling while Pixar nails the playful and childlike feelings for me.
It’s like I can casually watch Pixar anytime and have a great time but it has to be the right day and moment of feeling to watch a Disney movie for that magical feeling.
that's why Pixar's movies are amazing!
Coco is the only movie I thought Disney made it fully by themselves...it has a happy ending and good musics
If you think about Buddy Pine, aka sindrome, is like what could have happened to mha/bnha's main protagonist Izuku Midoriya, aka Deku, if he had given up on being a hero and went villain. It's cool to see would could have been in something other than a bias fanfic!
I’m more of a Pixar fan is it might seam. But usually I have a soft spot for my Disney princesses once in a while. When Time is right for a classic, I will go deep into depth into the movie when I’m watching it, but when is over. I will put on a Burt Reynolds movies to cleanse my soul, meaning of Smokey and the bandit. That’s all I have to say.
Yes you didn’t mention that Pixar has 0 live action movies while Disney has more live action movies
Disney movies are almost always adaptations of something else, while Pixar is always (I think) original ideas.
Dream works. Just dream works.
Pixar is more likely to have living parents while Moana and Enconto are very rare
Disney protagonists tend to be well-off young women who just want more and then get it. Pixar protagonists tend to be ordinary people who lose their current lives and learn to deal with that change.
I think Pixar gives*more personality* to characters and *dosent just give them one personality trait and work around it*. For example, Mei-Mei from Turning Red has two personalites: fangirl and perfect kid. Another example is that Elsa, from Frozen only had ice powers to make her stand out. Nothing else was really given that stands out. And, like you said, Pixar *does give random ages to people and show that heros can be of any age, any race* meanwhile Disney only has like 3 brown or black princesses. And only 1 is chinese so in my opinion they should also do a better job at race and ages. *:)*
the main different is that Pixar makes good movies
did this guy just try to tell me that Luca is lighthearted? Ercole tried to commit murder
For some reason i don't enjoy the singing every 5 minutes 😂😂😂😂
Personally, this is why I prefer Pixar, the representation, not tying up everything in a neat little bow, and so on. I just like more realism and how the body types in their movies are more realistic :]
Rattatoiulle will stay my favourite of them all :D
Disney Animation studios hasn't made many sequels. Other studios usually make they're sequels.
Silhouette is one of the most important factors in designing characters.
The shape that people see with the silhouette gives them personality, or places that they are supposed to be. For example, in how to raise a dragon, Hiccup has round and thin shape. On the other hand, Hiccup's father has big square shapes. And we can clearly see why they chose those shapes. Which, Disney lacks. Pixar have good examples of Silhouette in "Inside-out", "Soul" and "The Monster Corp"
Another reason is to identify the characters only by their Silhouette. People unconsciously recognize things by silhouettes. So giving clear silhouette to characters gives them strong characteristics, easier to recognize them.
Good example of this is of course, Pokémon. Do you remember in animations, they ask "who's that Pokémon?". They only show you the silhouette, and you recognize them right away.
So, all I want to say is.....
I like Pixar better than Disney. But I do like both of their animation graphics though.
Disney characters have no sense of friendship, like we barely even see friendships on the screen, Disney only sees lovers as worthy protagonists, they don't think that a friendship is really good while Pixar has the most amazing balance between romance and friendship, from Toy Story, Luca to Turning red. They have never shyed away from protagonist that aren't lovers. Toy story is what I mean by a good balance, there's enough romance but it doesn't make one dirft away form Buss and Woody, but the love stories always stay prominent.
Pixar is more aimed at younger audiences (hence unrealistic animation), Disney is good for the whole family.
In my opinion I love Pixar
Personally even on older pixas films they still feel good that might be because i grew up watching them tho so idk
Oh dear... THe time when Disney was actually dependable and timeless....
This is why I like Pixar better.
Disney wasn't going for evil for the sake of evil being fun usually. It was more not excusing bad behavior based on abuse. Almost all 'heroes' of the stories went through abuse too and didn't choose evil.
Why Luca gotta catch strays like that tho
the DisneyxPixar movies are the best
I understand all what you said in the video and it turns out all my fave movies comes from pixar, not disney 🤣
Tbh I prefer Pixar over Disney
They're both amazing though :D
So what was Brave then? That’s a Pixar princess.
watching that raya and namari mention at the part of representation i was like- "can we have a male version of that"...then it hit me...all the stories are princess focused ..WE NEED PRINCE FOCUS STORIES NOW, with the exception of aladdin but y'know what i mean
Yeah we do
