IM ON A THUMBNAIL!

"The Incredibles is the best superhero movie of all time." It's ok Megamind you're still the best superhero movie in my mind

I keep forgetting Planes isn't Pixar because its like a sequel to cars, but it was just disney. So when we were in the top 10, I started to get nervous...

Schaff: “Please don’t make any more. There’s no where left to go-” Pixar: *Toy Story 5-*

I like to think Ernesto didn't tear up the photo because he may have stolen Hector's songs after murdering him, but they traveled for months and Ernesto probably still respected him as a person deep down, and didn't tear up the photo because of that.

The only thing i can remember from cars 2 was when the bad guys fucking tortured and killed a car

"Why is AUTO just a boring villain with no personality and just doing what he is told?" I think you're missing the point of AUTO's character and what the movie might be trying to get at with him. Perhaps not thinking for himself and just doing what he was programmed is what lead him to be a villain. The fact that he was so focused on following his directive is what lead him to literally put the whole ship in danger to keep it from returning to earth. I think part of the movie is telling us that blindly following instructions can lead to self destruction. WALL-E's only directive was to clean the earth, but he ended up developing a personality outside of his programming and ended up being the only survivor of his whole robotic race. I don't think that was a coincidence. The humans on the ship are so used to living their life hands off that when the captain hears about the prospect of going back to earth, he's afraid of the idea of actually having to take control of his own life instead of leaving it to the auto pilot. The humans are so blinded by technology that they didn't even know about the jogging track or the pool on the ship. There's definitely plenty of theme's that the movie incorporates that we can discuss, like how we blindly accept our culture of consumerism and materialism, however I have to disagree that the producers dropped the ball when writing AUTO's character.

So we watched cars 2 in English class (second language to us, so we do basically nothing) and it was the greatest cinematic experience of all time. 10/10, spy cars are great and no one can tell me otherwise.

The point of Wall-E's villian is that he had no character. A representation of the lifeless shells humanity was becoming if you will. No back story, no character, no emotion and the humans survived but didn't live. A machine. One could say the humans are less compelling than the robot protagonists because they've lived in such a shallow, souless environment for so long. Auto takes the "care" out of "character" in that he cares about nothing but his programming. The prefect obstical for a message that begs any eyeballs on the screen to feel deeply for life on earth and life as a whole.

Auto is a good villain because he's literally the anti-thesis of all other robots: he *can't* think for himself, only able to follow his programming.

"But for the love of God, don't make any more Toy Story movies. There's nowhere left to go for real this time. Please stop here. Thank You." Ok, that didn't age well . . .

I really liked the simplicity of Finding Nemo actually. It’s an adventure film with some stakes that you as the audience really feel and hits those family beats well. But it’s just a great adventure film where it doesn’t lose any of its established stakes where some movies do. Plus you get to see the traditionalist (Marlin) adapt to new situations and ppl (like Dory). Also as an Aussie I really liked seeing Sydney in an animated film :)

“It’s awful by Illumination standards” is one of the best and most biting insults I’ve ever heard

The universe didn’t start with a Big Bang, it started with: “funding for Schaffrillas is provided by”

Cars 2 actually had an amazing score tho, that intro sequence is fucking fire

"she made a little movie you mightve heard of it its called *THE PRINCE OF EGYPT* "

It's kinda hilarious that someone who worked on the prince of egypt, lion king, and beauty and the beast was fired. Now I know why brave crashed and burned.

“Why can’t he formulate his own opinion?” Bruh, his name is literally AUTO

Most shocking he thing about this: Mike Wazowski’s face is blocked out by Miguel in the thumbnail. That’s how you know these guys cast a care about these movies.

Scaff: “The bad thing about Walle is that Auto is a bad villain” Me, who believes Walle has no villain: “I’m going to allow that”

The Good Dinosaur is just a flex on how good they can make landscapes

Recently rewatched A Bug’s Life as an adult and I gotta say, I was honestly surprised to see a big name studio tackling a topic that’s essentially collective bargaining. I kind of wish they leaned into this more, because it resonates so strongly as both a triumph of the workers and a palatable critique of capitalism. At the heart of it, a Bugs Life is a pro-union story about solidarity, and I think Hopper works so well as a villain because he feels *real*. He keeps the ants on the brink of existence so that they can only devote time to working, and immediately crushes anyone who challenges or critiques him. Because as he very plainly states, the moment the ants realize that they’re stronger together and don’t need the grasshoppers, the system that allows Hopper to benefit from their labor will crumble. It can def be cringy and a bit boring at times, with characters and subplots that didn’t need to be there, but overall, I enjoy the Communist Ant Movie.

“Purple guy isn’t scary.” -Schaff, 2021

When he mentioned that he didn’t cry during his Up rewatch, but cried during Coco I was like “No, there is no way Coco has a moment that will make me cry harder than that”. Then I went and watched Coco for the first time... 😭

What I find hysterical about cars 3 is that they don’t acknowledge anything about cars 2. It’s like Pixar said “ yeah, we fucked up; so here’s a movie with no more spy stuff and less Mater”

The whole buzz’s inner voice thing sounded like it was gonna resolve at the end, when he kept turning on the thing and it kept saying leave, I thought his conscious was gonna tell him otherwise and for him to defy his voice buttons. But instead he sarcastically says “thanks inner voice” and listens to it anyway

I don't agree that Woody's just a jerk in the first Toy Story. He's not just Andy's favorite toy, but also a father figure to all the other toys. Not only does Buzz swoop in and take both of these roles away from him, but Buzz doesn't appreciate the magnitude of either, since he doesn't think he's a toy. And even so, all Woody wants is just for Andy to appreciate him again. He doesn't plan to knock Buzz out the window, only to knock him behind the desk so Andy will take him to Pizza Planet. Yes, it's petty and wrong, and the catalyst for Woody's character growth, but you get where he's coming from. Also, Woody comes to realize that Buzz treated him like an equal and a friend from the start. 2 and 3 are still better, though.

See, I like Auto as a villain because he’s an antithesis to every other robot in Wall-E, which goes against its programming to be able to develop their own personalities and make their own decisions. Meanwhile, Auto is following his programming to a T, to the point where he refuses to go back to Earth despite the plant being proof that life can’t flourish on Earth, just because he hasn’t received orders to do so from the ones who had programmed him in the first place.

The only problem with Incredibles is there wasn't enough Frozone.

As someone who grew up watching Cars 2, I would absolutely love a cinematic disaster review

I don’t know why specifically, but Coco will always be one of my personal favorite Pixar movies of all time, simply because of the twist villain, the music, and the absolutely phenomenal emotional climax and ending, this is the only movie that has ever made me cry, and I still choke up at the ending to this day

“Monster’s University is both underrated and not that good at the same time.” You captured my feelings about this movie *PERFECTLY*

Can we all agree that Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home was basically the Screenslaver done 100 times better?

I'll be honest, I think the only miss in this video is Toy Story 4, it would work amazingly as a alone film without having to live up to be the fourth movie of already established characters. Buzz and Woody's relationship was a key component on the three movies predating the fourth, and yet in that one they are totally dismissed, Buzz is pointless in most of the narrative and their relationship does not feel genuine in any point of the movie. there's not significant "Goodbye" rather than a couple sad faces. Gabby's arc is honestly so bad when it could've been amazing, her introduction almost makes us feel like her arc will be about not having to change for someone, that because of your disabilities you're not flawed and you're indeed deserving of love, and yet she ends up fixing herself anyways? And the reason she gets to have love it's because she was fixed? It's such a bad message and yet it could have been way better with just a couple changes. The reason I thought it could be over Inside Out it's because of the animation quality because it is indeed a gorgeous looking movie, props to everyone that worked on that aspect, but narratively I don't think it's as compelling and emotionally deep as you'd think it is :/ Inside Out is way more emotionally complex.

In The Incredibles, the detail of everything in typical suburban life being literally physically too cramped for Bob is a great touch.

“Woody is a dick for so long” bruh have you seen the original portrayal of Woody? He legit attempted murder on Buzz and even verbally abused Slinky

Monsters Inc. definitely gave us the best musical of all time: “Put that thing out where it came from or so help me”.

I actually love Up more than most Pixar movies. It's in my top three that I could watch at any time. I adore the animation, the characters, the humor, the action, and the story

I mean otto is genius because he is the only realistic robot villain, he does not feel, he does not think, he is programmed and it makes sense for him to be the villain since wall-e and eve seem to feel, every single robot seems to feel except the villain one

the only thing about the incredibles I didn’t like is that we didn’t know where Frozone’s super suit was

Hearing what they did to the only female Pixar director infuriated me to another level omfg

with all do respect, Barley has taught me WAY more about being a good older brother than I needed to learn.

For me, I actually really like the story of Up. Even past the first 15 minutes. It's a charming story about a grumpy old man learning how to move on from the past. He spends most of the movie caught up on fulfilling his dead wife's dream, but then learns that the life they spent together was the best adventure she could have ever asked for. As for your critique on Auto, I think what you said makes him boring actually makes him interesting as an AI villain. There's a video I saw that pointed this out really well how nothing Auto does is out of malice or evil intentions, but cold-hearted efficiency towards its prime directive: Keep humanity onboard the Axiom and make sure they stay safe.

I was expecting a Big Hero 6 reference and It never happened, I now feel disappointed, but I guess It was my mistake

Literally, every criticism he made about AUTO in WALL-E is the point. WALL-E is full of personality. He is unique while still following his programming. AUTO is the antithesis to WALL-E. He has no personality and only follows programming

I love Ratatouille and Monster Inc. Glad to see you put them up so high. A lot of Pixar movies made me cry, but Coco and Inside Out really broke me (but still glad they did). Amazing ranking and hilarious editing. Keep up the awesome work :)

I absolutely love Toy Story, it feels like an S Tier Dreamworks movie. It isn’t a great all around movie, but is unbelievably hilarious.

Monsters inc. is so iconic. One time my middle school hallway lights flickered and then turned black and we all were screaming 2319

“Toy Story 1 is the weakest Toy Story movie but it’s also the funniest one” Oh my gosh! I thought I was alone in thinking that!!!

Finding Dory isn't my favorite Pixar film. It's not even in my top 3. But my God, if it doesn't have one of my favorite scenes in any animated movie ever. As someone with ADHD, this scene right here 29:33 makes me absolutely sob every time I watch it. Yes, Dory's forgetfulness can be funny and is often played for jokes, but it's also handled with so much genuine care and heart in this movie. Like, this scene REALLY captures what it is like to have a disability like hers. When Dory finds her parents again, she breaks down into tears and immediately apologizes, saying she's so sorry for being forgetful, and she wishes she wasn't but she just can't help it. And how do her parents respond? By telling her it's ok, because she found them again. And not only that, she did it on her own, and gained more confidence in herself in the process too. Like...wow. Not only is that incredibly touching, it's also extremely relatable for people like me who ACTUALLY have disabilities that affect our memory. I've had basically that exact conversation with my parents in real life. Feeling guilty and apologizing for times my ADHD has caused me to mess up and forget important things, but then being reassure by my parents that it's ok, and they are still proud of me and my accomplishments even if sometimes I also have failures. It's a scene that makes me grateful for my family, which is exactly what I believe the goal of the scene was. I really cannot sing its praises enough. I feel like whoever wrote it just...understands. Around the time this film was made, a lot of people were joking about how Disney and Pixar were just trying as hard as possible to make audiences cry during their movies so that they could get nominated for Oscars. But this scene doesn't feel that way. It's one of the most genuine, most relatable, most heartwarming scenes I have ever watched from Pixar. And it keeps me coming back to Finding Dory over and over even in spite of it not being one of my favorite movies. It's just that good of a scene.

44:27 The robots being complex IS the reason why Auto is so basic, and that IS the contrast to Wall-E and Eve narratively. I don’t think they could have made a better villain than this one, if you ask me. So this section misses the mark for me, but at least we are in agreement that everything else is amazing lol

Schaffrilas: "Please don't make more Toy story sequels." Pixar: "He didn't say anything about Spin-offs."

Ngl I was a little disappointed you didn't see the message in AUTO, blindly following directions leading to actually doing more harm than good.

Inside Out is probably my favorite Pixar movie, standing right next to Soul and the Incredibles. I like The Incredibles because it's just incredibly (pun intended) entertaining. But Soul and Insides out are the only movies that really make me look at myself and think "what am I doing with my life?". They're just so relatable

I definitely hope to see you tackle Toy Story 4 someday. This was an extremely well expressed and deeply thoughtful video, as always. ❤

“You know what finding Nemo has?” Lol what “A net, you know what also has a net?” This is gonna be an ad isn’t it “The interne-“ *rapidly taps the right side of the screen*

Movie character: *Screams* Schaffrillas: _"Now this looks like a Gangsta's Paradise moment"_

Stay strong Schaff, I watched you in a time where it was very difficult to me. I will never know what this pain is, but I want you to know that I, and others, appreciate you.

Did the scene where Mr. Incredible gets captured after finding out most of his super-friends were murdered freak out anyone else as a little kid?

Has anyone else realized that cars and Thor have the exact same plot 1. Character has been separated from his world 2. is forced to sit in a small town and rediscover themselves 3. Finds a way to get back to said world and fights for the honor of the small town.

Just a few notes on Auto: 1. I think his flat character and lackluster motivation are meant as a comment on adaptability. He and Wall-e are both 700 years old, but in that time Wall-e adapted to survive the harsh environment and also developed as a person while Auto spent the time doing everything his corporate overlords told him to and never developed a personality. 2. I was 5 when the movie came out and Auto scared the shit out of me. His emotionlessness in comparison to how expressive every other robot was disturbed me. And he straight up killed Wall-e on screen. I screamed both times. I feel he is an accurate portrayal of how impersonal doing environmental damage is.

Can't wait for Toy Story 5 to delve deep into the Human vs. Toys war, where toys realize they don't want to be play things and start to rebel.

I can't believe you ranked Cars so low when it has the hardest scene in cinematic history, the introduction of DJ, Boost, Wingo and Snot Rod

Toy Story 3 is Andy's conclusion whereas Toy Story 4 is Woody's conclusion.

One thing I like about TS4 is how it brings Woodys character full circle. In the first film he was selfish and wanted Andy to himself, and the thought of being a lost toy was the worst thing imaginable to him. But then in the fourth one he now is a lost toy, and he’s okay with that. And now he’s helping multiple toys and kids alike, a very selfless act. Giving toys the love of a child, and making hundreds of kids happy. I really would love to see that TS4 analysis video from you if you still plan to make it.

"Finding Nemo is saying the least." It pits a character too obsessed with the past to let his son live his life (which ultimately pushes his son away to near death) up against a character who is practically unable to remember the past (and thus acts impulsively). In the end, Marlin realizes that he has to find balance between the two and ultimately trust his son. It's also about disability - obviously Dory's disability, but also Nemo's. Nemo has never known life without two functional fins, but that's all Marlin sees when he sees Nemo. He sees a fish that's weak and incapable and, by the end, has to understand that Nemo is capable in his own way (aka: Finding Nemo). I actually find Finding Nemo's themes to be deeper than people give it credit for. That scene inside the whale is one of the best that Pixar has ever done. "How do you know something bad isn't going to happen?" "I don't." Good shit. Plus, the music is fuckin fire.

12:56 I just read today about what happened with his brother and oh man this got really uncomfortable really quick. I am so sorry for your loss.

Hearing James Corden's voice coming out of Barley nearly gave me a heart attack

40:26 Bob Iger: *makes Toy Story 5 a thing* Me: Oh sorry, you were saying?

I have to give A Bug’s Life credit for being surprisingly intense for a kid’s movie. It scared me growing up and revisiting it reminded me of the risks it took in challenging them

Fun fact about Coco, surveys done in retirement homes have actually shown that music has the potential to help people with things such as dementia.

Auto is the product of his environment. He has been told for almost 700 years that earth is unsustainable and all is lost. He is the culmination of the themes in this movie. This film is about rejecting luxury and orders, and learning to have free will. Auto is everything this film is warning us about, and delivers with an amazing example. He is a robot that blindly follows orders and acts on them which only cripples humanity even further. His main philosophy is: "Good soldiers follow orders". The fact that he is literally the autopilot of the ship makes this just too perfect.

That quote about not being good enough for something but it still being okay really hits for me! I wanted to make video games ever since i picked up a controller, but as i grew up i realized making one was alot harder than i had thought. But through the process i learned one thing i was great at! Story telling!

Gonna be honest. Even tho Cars 2 is horrible, the only good parts about it are the animation and the score. That score man just... damn.

Fun fact, There is 19 deaths in cars 2 making it one of the most gruesome Pixar movies

That scene with the shells in Finding Dory makes me weep 😢

Once, I watched Ratatouille as a kid when I wasnt supposed to. The copy of the movie belonged to my stepdad. I snuck it to my room and watched it on my DVD player. He found out, took it out of my DVD player, turned to me and CRUSHED IT IN HIS HANDS IN FRONT OF MY EYES LIKE??????? WHAT KIND OF REACTION IS THAT??????? I guess it traumatized me enough to not watch it really for a while but man did not have to do all that.

I'm not gonna lie-- as someone who has short term and long term memory loss, Finding Dory hit me HARD man. It's such an amazingly different experience being someone that the main character is trying to represent (not talking about movies from a racial standpoint, that is a completely different type of relatability in my opinion). I'd never felt so incredibly well represented in a movie before. Dory's memory loss issues, and how she remembers things through word and picture association (the shells being one of them, helping her trigger the memory of her family) is amazingly accurate. I straight up cried in theatre when I first saw it, and my grandmother had to help me get in to the car on the way back because it was hard to see from my puffed up eyes. Also wanted to note that Marlan getting mad at Dory and frustrated with her is 100% something that happens to people like me, all the time. And it made sense that Marlan would still get frustrated at her seeing as you can't simply make that feeling go away via character growth. That's just not how real people work. Even my grandparents get frustrated with me at times, though they always apologise afterwards when they realise what they had said. Because, to be honest, living and dealing with someone that has memory loss issues can be straining on all parties. The constant reminders, the frustration when you forget a very obvious or important piece of information. Having to remind that person to eat by making food for them or giving them a bottle of water (which, I often need help with. I often forget to eat, drink, or sleep at the proper times). The struggle is real. Compared to the first movie, where Dory's memory loss was often played off for laughs a little bit too much, she is so much stronger as a character. And arguably I'd say the writing concerning the subject is stronger and more respectful. And that fact makes me so happy-- heck, just thinking about it makes me get a little choked up. Long story short: It's a cloud nine feeling to think about watching the first movie as a kid, only to grow up, learn I have the struggles of one of my favourite movie characters of all time, only to see her get her own movie and representation by the time I was in college. Feels good man.

Cars 2 is so bad that they used a joke about an old dude pissing himself in public as a PLOT DEVICE

idk i like that one line where maters like: "btw you owe me $80,000 in legal fees"

I loved your input to Soul - this movie means a lot to me because it just came out when I was at a very low and lonely place in my life. This movie benefited my mental health so much, I still tear up whenever I see the scene at the piano with the montage of all of 22s adventures in a real human body. This movie made me feel alive again and I’m so so thankful for this to exist ❤

Monsters Inc. has my favorite trope: scary dude protects small child.

I’d say Brave is better then The Good Dinosaur. Not by much, but at least it shows a perspective on Scottish culture.

i respect every opinion but the early Pixar movies were my childhood, i watched them almost every week. Toy Story is hilarious and still makes me laugh and is SUPER impressive for the first CGI movie ever. Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, and The Incredibles are also burned into my brain. Maybe I need to raise the nostalgia goggles but I'll always love those movies

17:15 see it’s funny because that’s what happens in the Lego game

If you hate that Woody was selfish in the first Toy Story, then be very glad we didn't get the original cut of the first Toy Story, because Woody is far worse in that cut.

As a kid you never really realize how horrifying that computer scene from the incredibles really is honestly. It’s actually chilling

The thing about Woody in the first Toy Story is Buzz is a threat to his very sense of self. The point of Auto being just a machine is that, at this beginning of the movie, Eve and Wallie are the only people who are really living. Even the humans on the Axiom are living life on automatic... like machines. Auto being a full machine, rather than a robotic person, represents the ultimate failure of living your life on automatic.

IN DEFENSE OF BRAVE: Merida is a teenaged girl, and I used to be one of those, and I related to Merida's story of being pushed into being someone and something she wasn't by the expectations of society and her mother. I understood her anger and defiant attitude and that bit of vindictiveness that she later regrets. There are definitely things that could be better, but calling Merida a twat? Naw, man. That's a teenager having the response of a teenager to an unpleasant, but sadly common, experience.

Somewhere there is an alternative reality when the original director for Brave wasn't fired and the movie is one of the best works from Pixar.
