Oi

man your videos are really something, in a positive way i mean. i like how not only your videos are really entertaining but also great if you just want to listen something in the background.

Loving these smaller non review videos ur making keep it up 👍

Will you do a video on the (supposed) downfall of the MCU?

Judging from the video, you REALLY don't like Cars 3, huh? It's a shame that you didn't elaborate on why you feel that way.

I don't agree with that. That film was more about Andy's toys coming to terms with their fate and Woody being kind enough to give them a second life, Toy Story 4 was Buzz giving another one back to Woody as a thank you, by encouraging him to do the deed with Bo Peep and her friends.

Because that is how it should have been? TS4 felt unnecessary but you can maybe argue it was a epilogue, but I have no hopes for TS5 after the mid TS4 and the disappointing Lightyear

For sure.

@@HarmonySword Toy Story 4 really should had been a spin off Bo Beep film.

We could’ve gotten a special about Woody’s ending but Toy Story 4 isn’t unneeded, but it’s certainly not needed.

I seriously hope that dreamworks and a couple other companies start outdoing Pixar completely so that Pixar is forced to shape up

@@ochuspin or Pixar becoming their own independent studio because it’s obviously that Disney is sabotaging them

Dreamworks is on fire and i’m really happy with that. It’s like they make animated movies that Disney won’t. I hope Kung Fu Panda 4 is epic.

​@@onepresence9460 but here's the thing they're focusing way too much on existing properties like how to train your dragon the franchise already got lots of TV series especially one that takes place after the last movie now they're making a live-action version of how to train your dragon

In the 2000s, Pixar were at their best, while DreamWorks also had some great movies of their own, albeit a bit hit and miss. Now I believe DreamWorks has the capacity to do better in recent memory.

Perfectly said!

In terms of the sequels or the original films? Honestly, for the most part, I still think they’ve been delivering on the latter. The sequels are where they tend to be hit-or-miss.

I think this issue started when Disney bought Pixar. That's the only explanation I have.

​@@geoffreyrichards6079 i mean, for me even their original films doesn't compare to the ones that they put out from before. It's like there's something in their stories that are missing some times and I can't seem to put my finger in it.

@@JohnDoe-gt3jr I really don’t see how they should. They’re still just as memorable and emotionally engaging as the ones that came before. Maybe it’s just fatigue?

@@el_mr6439 True, Disney and Pixar kind of blend together lately because of the ownership and frankly, their styles have kind of meshed together but the point stands.

Brave is honestly a guilty pleasure for me.

I'm fine if Pixar decide to never make a Spider-verse clone with the visuals. When more than one studio uses the same art style, it's not special anymore. It'll feel like a "style over substance" gimmick. Pixar's films are visually diverse from each others, they don't need Spider-verse's art style in it.

Well it's more of a comic book looking style rather than a cartoon.

@@littlegyro8340 theyre samey enough

​​@@0deadx21You don't have to use the exact same art style to do the same things. Just look at Arcane, The Mitchells vs the Machines, or Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. That being said, I think Pixar has a specific style it would be weird to deviate from.

motha effin facts. It seems Pixar really hoped their nostalgia train would keep riding on but it gets boring seeing the same movies just with different characters.

I heard more about Puss in Boots than the movie they released (I even forgot but I think there is a lgbtq character). Good thing I watch PIB

I liked the movie, but I could barely even tell it had a message other than “Be Yourself.” Which is the most stereotypical message, which can probably be incorporated into any piece of media.

@@TJ-hg6op who cares, it was a fun movie.

@@Guyfrom2001 I agree, but I didn’t see a growing up theme in the movie.

@@TJ-hg6op I don’t like getting over analytical and explaining myself with a 500 word essay, but this is essentially growing up like becoming independent and maturing. He goes from following his mother’s orders and doing what she says to making mistakes, suffering their consequences, and repairing relationships. He chases after a thrill without considering consequences, and pays the price later, then instead of taking the easy path and crawling back to his mother hoping she would take him back, he owns up to his actions and sacrifices his own needs for the sake of his friends. Like in practice the act of going to school is a good thing, but it’s more about how he did it, again by betraying trusts in a pursuit of the adventure, but by acting selflessly and making sacrifices he earns it. But at the end of the day who cares, it was a good movie.

@@TJ-hg6op So? Even if it is overplayed, the message is still important. There's a reason why it's still prevalent.

Allot of no talent people are getting famous now a days thus the saying "You can do anything you set your mind to" is true.

To me, this is also further illustrated with the fact that Gasteau’s book isn’t called “Everyone Can Cook”, but rather “Anyone Can Cook”. I interpret this as him saying that any person has the capacity to learn and do more professional things. It may or may not be you, it may or may not be someone else, but talent exists and anyone is capable of possessing it.

Monster University’s theme rivals movies like Ratatouille and Inside Out. I’ll even throw a bone and say Cars 3 isn’t too far behind. The issue comes from most of Monster University isn’t about the theme, and Cars 3 treats their theme like a running gag half the time.

I love the film for its message. As a teacher, I know most students will never achieve their dreams just because life is hard, and that's ok. We see so many movies in which the blind triple-amputee twelve year old manages to hit the game winning home run. That's no real. It feels good, but it tends to be a lie.

nevah

Toy Story 3 was supposed to be the end of things. The final part of a toy's journey is getting thrown out and ending up in a junkyard or landfill. The junkyard was deliberately put into Toy Story 3 for that very reason. It was supposed to have a sense of finality, and it was a grand spectacle. It was outright stated in the director's commentary. Then Toy Story 4 crops up almost a decade later and wrecks shop. The film is a complete and utter mess, and the director's commentary confirms this.

Square Enix did that with the Tómb Raider reboot trilogy. They said before each game: "this is where Lara Croft turns into the Tomb Raider"

Problem is, who will be the main focus for Toy Story 5? Woody or Buzz, or a completely new cast of characters?

@@X2011racer Either they'll follow Woody and Bo Peep's adventures as lost toys or they'll focus on Bonnie's toys.

the creator at DreamWorks saw the writing on the wall decades ago. pixar's creativity has been strangled out of them by the house of mouse and it shows, very paint by numbers movies and visuals with scripts that are very basic and boring.

​@@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003 8/10 is not a bad score or even just a "decent score" tho

I agreed however I still think Pixar can do better, we know they have the talent, the technology, & the money.

yea except its not "the norm" its just straight dogshit. Like worse than dreamworks. That was never the case in the past

That's well and good, the problem is Toy Story 4 destroyed established characters that have already gone through their arcs. Woody doesn't care about being a favorite toy he only wants his kid to be happy, Buzz doesn't believe himself to be a real space ranger, Jesse allowed herself to be loved again by a kid despite her fears and phobias, Woody came to terms with his mortality and wants to be there for his kid despite knowing he could break, Andy was able to let go of his childhood so that he could become an adult and all the toys basically got the lesson Woody and Buzz got in the first two movies. Loss, growing up, letting go, mortality, family, friendship, jealousy... The first three movies had it all only for it to be undone in 4. There are no good values in 4. The main antagonist bullies her way to a happy ending and never gets a comeuppance like in the previous 3 films, and Woody simps for a really abusive love interest. 4 didn't have to exist. Cars wasn't a masterpiece but it was still a solid movie. Monsters University wasn't a masterpiece and it was alright. I think even Monsters Inc wasn't a masterpiece and it was still good.

@@horpuscorpus8299 lets see how elemental does in theatres

Disney: "The competition released an original animated film?? Bring out the sequels that honestly nobody asked not wanted!!!!"

You’re literally talking about the studio that released Shrek the Third, Boss Baby 2, and Trolls 2. All of which range from bad to mediocre. Dreamworks pumps out plenty of bad sequel films to turn a profit just like literally every other major 3D animation studio. I’ll agree that Dreamworks is generally better at handling sequels than Disney/Pixar (HTTYD 2&3, Kung Fu Panda 2&3, Shrek 2, and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) but they still have their fair share of cash cow sequels.

@@waffleconehat i would like to disagree with the Trolls 2 statement. While yes, it was a bad movie, it actually expanded the world (somewhat).

stop with Toy Story nonsense, it'll end up like Ice age

@@waffleconehat Dreamworks has put out more good sequels bad because their stories can be continued. The movie feels complete, but you still wish to see more adventures. Modern Disney's stories rarely warrant sequels, that's why they are bad. You don't really know where else these characters could be taken. In films that had potential for sequels, Incredibles, Frozen, Wreck it Ralph, but they fall victim to self-awareness humor, faux-progressivism, and repeating beats from the original films to recapture what made them work.

Look I don't think you're wrong about the stories, but I can guarantee that the unique visual style elevates the quality of those movies by an extreme amount. That scene in spider verse where miles makes "the leap of faith" just will not work as well in a standard 3d animated environment. I'm a big anime fan. I cannot even begin to explain how animation is EXTREMELY UNDERUTILIZED in action scenes. In puss in boots, they lean heavily on their mixed usage of 2d and 3d animation in action scenes. It works really well.

Why are we pitting all these great things against one another? I love them all.

It wouldn't be that much of a problem if the message itself wasn't almost always about loving your family, the same message just gets boring after awhile.

​@@lukebytes5366Soul, Turning Red and other recent movies arent mainly about loving family tf u talkin about

I've only seen a couple of their films suffer from this (namely Raya, Frozen 2, and Lightyear). The rest I thought were pretty enjoyable.

​@Kait0w0 He's just setting an example. The lessons, even though useful, and generic are commonly used. Soul to me is an exception since its talking about valuing the little things in life (which not many do). However, turning read has the same "Be yourself" lesson that wears out with each movie that uses it.

@@Stickamajig i don’t think that’s the exact theme of “Turning Red”. The moral of the movie was more like learning to embrace all the weird things that come with being yourself and not feeling ashamed of it, especially by your own family. That’s pretty different from most other films where instead of the protagonist learning the lesson of acceptance, it’s society itself.

Yeah! I have that same gut feeling too when ever I watch their modern movies. Like something tells me their movies could be spectacular, but something is limiting them. It’s kind of like the current MCU movies right now.

Disney is getting too involved into products and marketing that it has spilled into the creative process of the movies "This won't be marketable!" "The market tends to not like these ideas" "green is not a creative colour" they are not a big studio anymore, for 3 decades now they are a multibillion COMPANY, and they are a company at first, a brand at second, a theme park at third, and a studio at fourth.

@@Gustoberg a hierarchy if you will

Pixar used to discard any ideas that weren't creative enough. If a project had a creative idea but wasn't interesting enough, then Pixar would bring in a veteran to take over and whip things into shape. They weren't afraid to overhaul or scrap projects entirely if things weren't coming together. Pixar might actually be a case where more creative control is a bad thing.

Yknow I really like spider verse style but I don’t want every studio to suddenly animate only in that style, because then we would have a problem again: everything would look the same

I think animation dorks need to take a seat and read a novel if they're looking for "great storytelling". Animation was always about visuals first and story/writing secondary. Pixar films were a fun novelty for a time when cg animation was relatively new to the mainstream, but taking them for what they are at their core: they're above average "family" flicks parents can plop their kids in front of and not feel completely guilty since they aren't actively insulting in quality compared to other children's media.

@@welfare_king Not necessarily, "story is king" is a guideline Pixar used to emphasize during the production of their films. Animation as a medium can enhance an already-strong story, and the thing that used to set Pixar apart from other studios was their ability to innovate with both. The problem is that Pixar has been leaning on their animation too heavily and expecting it to make up for stories that aren't that spectacular, in a time where realistic CG animation also isn't that groundbreaking anymore. Their films no longer have a balance of high quality and feel more like fancy tech demos with serviceable stories attached.

@@Chiwowza As if.

@@welfare_king No reason at all why we can't have both.

@@welfare_king animation is just a medium, not a genre to just go “oooo, ahhh” thats what popcorn action flicks are for

Exactly, people always seem to Forget that

Honestly that pretty much applies to ALL of the aspiring creators at Disney. The execs don’t care what they put out as long as it makes da money and is accessible to all.

@@amyvasquez4268 on the contrary, Disney are so obsessed with their image that they put every one of their compagnies in to a very very very tight strict little box. remember what Alex Hirsh had to endure just to be able to finish Gravity Falls??

@@1Thunderfire that's precisely why they're so hated, they refuse to do anything that leads one way or the other and choose to remain in bland mediocrity.

I love cars 2, Mater just has its own shit going on and I love it.

You like what you like and that is fine. I've liked cars since I was young and considering I'm 40, that predated the Cars movie franchise...slightly lol. But now I'm running into people who like cars because they watched these movies, and Cars 2 specifically has come up a few times as the movie that made them realize "oh, there's different racing series?". Personally, it's not my favorite, but a lot of people hold it dear and I love and respect that. I know this review was pretty indifferent towards Luca and Turning Red, but I really liked them. Luca is just a nice feelgood movie for us I loved the tie ins to old monster movies and as my wife is an astronomy minor, the whole sequence about the telescope, Luca learning about stars and the universe, and then Luca day dreaming about going to Saturn's rings & Da Vinci's flying machine, is one of my favorite sequences of all movies. Regarding Turning Red, the joy of watching my wife tell our kids stories about how she saw herself in Mei and in some of her friends was wonderful, and my kids like that movie in part because of that now, even if the whole puberty/period aspect of it flew above their heads...my wife dragging out her tamagotchi and having it now be cared for (occasionally) by my oldest also helped.

Cars 2 is MUCH better than cars 3

I mean that's all good and all but Cars 2 is far from complex

@@Sp_Oon It is complex in relation to cars 1 and 3

Oh yeah I remember that movie was pretty good. The only thing I didn’t really enjoy was that I’m pretty sure it contradicted how Sully and Mike met

I liked Finding Dory though too

The amount if times I re watched this movie is a lot...I really enjoy it and monsters Inc., coco, and sometimes tangled since she's my favorite princess🌸

It’s pretty good. Because of the “retcon” I just prefer to pretend that they we’re friends as kids but split before college.

The loss of John Lasseter can't have helped things.

I think it doesn’t help that both Disney and Pixar both make 3d animated films that look very similar to each other. I think Pixar has just played it safe for too long with 3d animation.

Inside Out

The movie came out 6yrs ago heading towards 7yrs now. How is that recent years?

This comment is 10 months old dude. It was closer to 5 years than 6 when I originally posted it. Either way I would argue that is still “recent years” when talking about animated films

@@Gattsu_the_struggler Wow, like that makes a big difference. That's like trying to claim that you or your girl had a 5yr old baby recently. You realize there are way more animated films than what Disney produces right? Even then being an animated film doesn't somehow make it more recent if that's what you're somehow trying to claim. Even if you look up the definition of recent it still doesn't support your wild claim considering that 5yrs isn't competitively close to the present.

Absolutely. That and respect for both the characters and audience. Both films mentioned weren't afraid to tackle more mature subjects and did so respectfully, and balanced it well with the theme and story so it didn't feel out of place, and felt natural and necessary for the characters and their arcs.

This is true, I find that films (even if they aren't amazing visually) can be saved with a good/great story, animation is a good example of this. A lot of animations I love aren't exactly filled to the brim with expense.

That’s like saying: how aren’t you rich? Just have a higher salary

@@thomasffrench3639 That's not really a valid comparison. Getting 'a higher salary' is something that is more often than not out of your control.

Corporate policies and practices can give them shape and direction but soul and vision comes from the people not the board room. When those people leave you just can't replace them easily.

Well somehow Elemtal was made under the Disney shackles so…

I think the CEO of Pixar also said at one point, something along the lines of “We have to keep making sequels to be financially successful”. Which really just makes things look worse.

​@@X2011racer Unique? The human characters in those movies ranged in style from cartoonish with realistic textures to semi-realistic humans who, by today's standards, look kinda uncanny valley. Plus, that style is not that unique to them anymore. Illumination has already copied that look.

I wish Elemental uses that style

Disney’s next movie wish is going to use a style that’s just like what spider verse went for

That sounds like a good idea

itd make sense to give the incredibles (3) that kind of animation.

@@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003wasn’t that just a joke by some random guy online?

Luca yes, Turning Red no…

@@DragonSword227 for all the problems in that film, it at least tries new stuff

there was a 5?

@@kyperactive you said the how to train your dragon movies? Or Guilermos’s troll hunter series? Because we can also talk about their series

It reminded me of Bolt in a way. It wasn't completely action-packed. It was a relatively simple story, but was charming in it's deliver and characters. It's nice to have movies like that from time to time, especially when so many feel like they move constantly without pausing to take a breath.

@@waffleauflauf4213 I do not like bolt personally but that's a good comparison, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way

I actually loved Luca for how laid back and human it felt.

@@tymunster That's fair, it's not for everyone, and it isn't a big favorite of mine though I do love it. It was mostly the first thing that came to mind, especially because it got a lot of flack for the same reasons Luca did and people complained it was "boring" (not implying that's why you don't like it).

agreed, though would disagree on it being one of their best. It's a good film though definitely

"remakes"?

Coco, Inside Out, Soul, Luca, Turning Red: Am I a joke to you?

@@gemstone108they mentioned the first two

Since when soul ,luca , turning red consider good ?

It is not that Pixar themselves turned to profit after 2010 it’s that Disney started exploiting while prioritizing their own animation studio in for their rivival era and sent Pixar into a dark age( and now they exploit even their own studio sending them into a slump era) but Elemtal was good Inside Out 2 and Elio looks good I hope Pixar can enter a renaissance this decade

I am not a Disney hater but you might be right about it making Pixar stronger

Same! I loved it!

I agreed with you, I couldn't relate to the film but I found some enjoyment into film

The very racist xenophobic bit they cut out of the film for good reason is what turned me off. If they attempted to added that... well, I had no hope for the rest of it

@@baronvonjo1929what was the racist bit?

LightYear which was put in theaters and flopped: am I a joke to you?

​@@theggamer2824 Well, yes.

​@@theggamer2824 Onward, Soul, Luca, Turning Red didn't have a fair chanc3

Yes

It feels like Toy Story 5 was their panic button in case one of their original films flopped at the box office. I bet they were gonna wait and see if elemental would fail to announce it months later, but it was Lightyear. A movie they had millions of ads for and was their first movie since the pandemic

even if it is a great movie at the end of the day its just another unnecessary sequel

I think you should swap Luca and Turning Red.

Thats called nostalgia

Finally, someone that acknowledges How Bland and Uninspired Luca was

You didn't even like Toy Story 3?

You meant Bao right?

I guess we should consider the deleted scene canon

Yeah, a Woody spin off it could have worked as.

Good video by the way

@@elefanta1278 Yeah

"I’m cautiously optimistic that a new animation studio is gonna pop up that truly makes Pixar and Disney step up their game." well yeah, that's naturally gonna happen. It's not a question of if, but rather when. Whether people realize it or not american animation is in a transitional period currently, both in the mainstream and underground. The new school of animators are gaining traction, and over time those influences they have garnered will evolve and dominate into something new.

can pixar become their own indepedant studio?

@@janfiloute_the_noob4045 Maybe back in the early 2000s, but disney bought them out. So I don't think that's ever going to happen. Lol

​@@omomori9214 Marvel and Pixar became bland because of Disney, they don't have their identity anymore.

Pixar did do unique art style with Turning Red where they added Anime elements to the animation and everyone made fun of it and told Pixar "Don't fix what aren't broke" and now everyone is saying Pixar is playing safe with their animation and should try new style like Dream Works did with Puss in Boots The Last Wish.

​@@DAVID-ANDERSON people made fun of it because those anime elements don't work at all in that art style or really CGI all that well

Samey?

@@ratedr7845 not reading this reply either 💯

At the end of The _Incredibles,_ the Underminer declares war on all of humanity. At the beginning of _The Incredibles II,_ the Underminer is merely robbing a bank. They retconned the first film to get rid of a more interesting idea than the plot and villain they ended up going with.

I like Incredibles 2 and toy story 4
