  • For over two decades Pixar has generated some of the best animated movies ever created. Toy Story, The Incredibles, Monsters Inc., and so many more will span generations of movie fans. But how is Pixar able to generate box office hit after box office hit? Well, they have a very specific "Pixar Process" that has been proven to work.

    Pixar is just one of those companies that, especially in their prime, would always resonate with me because they made those childish concepts growing up like Toys (Toy Story), Monsters in the bed (Monsters Inc.), or being with a caring family (Finding Nemo, amongst other Pixar classics. Also not necessarily a "childish concept", but you get the idea) feel so real, even if they are just, as characters, concepts that are inheritably non-human. In my opinion, Pixar rocked because these humane stories and themes center around anything that weren't human characters for the most part.

      In my opinion Pixar need to make more movies like Wall E. That film has such emotion and depth with it's deep themes and non dialogue between the robots and the humour is really clever and genuinely funny for once. Plus Thomas Newman needs to work with Pixar again the guy was born to make music for animated films

    The reason why Pixar still succeeds today is due to that unlike Disney (in their early years) their films are very original and not once have they ever done a adaptation of a book or a classic story.

    "They arent just telling us stories theyre giving us the ability to experience real emotions..." EXACTLY! Most animated movies (and the studios behind them) these days are just looking for the quick laugh and cashing out. Pixar are one of the rare studios that make films that actually make you think and tries to build a connection, thats why each of their movies are so memorable.

    Pixar was my favorite animation studio as a kid. The very first movie I saw in theaters was Finding Nemo, I was 3. I'm almost 22 and Pixar still has a very special place in my heart, probaby always will. My parents took me to see every single one of their movies after Finding Nemo (except The Good Dinosaur). My dad will be turning 52 and his favorite movie of all time is Cars.

    In my opinion Pixar need to make more movies like Wall E and The Incredibles. Movies with deep adult themes but containing enough family friendly humour to keep the kids happy. Instead nearly all of their back catalogue consists of movies of Dreamworks quality. And most of their 2010s catalogue is really forgettable with the exception of Coco, Inside Out and the Incredibles 2

    For me, what makes animated storytelling so great is how it has more flexibility and freedom to show character emotion, usually through physical expression but also though body language and gesture. With live action you're limited to what the actors can give you, but with animation you can do anything, which means you can make a more distilled emotional connection between audience and character.

From the way Bob worded that segment, it seems like Disney wasn’t scared by Pixar at all. They were actually impressed. Or at least Bob was, from seeing Pixar first hand. By the end of that visit, he was like, “I have to make this deal happen, and I don’t care if the rest of Disney calls me crazy.”
