Meet Your Next Great Disney/Pixar Heroine, Riley

...it feels weird that some of the voices in her head are male. I've read about people saying 'x type of voice in Y's head sounds like z' where z = a person they actually know in real life and thus could be any gender, BUT speaking as someone who doesn't have a bunch of voices in their head...

Weird.

No, I'll attest to the fact that people can have different voices in their heads.

I mean, the voice that has me second guess everything I do sounds a lot like my mother's, since she has always been the person to have the least faith in any decision I make.

It could be that Riley attributes her father's voice to her anger because he's an angry drunk, or something to that nature. I doubt we'll see that in a Disney/Pixar film, but I'm just throwing out examples.

Seriously? Huh.

That's fascinating. I never thought it was a real thing. I'm gonna go find a study on mental voices now...

It's quite a trip. I'd love to not have to hear my mother's voice every time I make a decision, or have a decision to make, but it's something I've learned to live with.

Another fun one is the voice I hear when I'm proud of myself. Another female, I just don't recognize it. I'd love to figure out who it belongs to, or is a mimic of.

I lost faith in Pixar after Disney bought them out. Disney is basically EA, buying up more successful studios and then gutting them. I haven't quite lost faith in Pete Doctor though. The premise sounds a little silly, but then so did UP, and that became one of my favorites. We'll see...

That was back in '06. If Ratatouille, Wall-E and Up did nothing to restore your faith in Pixar then I'm not sure how anything ever could.

Yes, but two of this films were made by... Pete Doctor. And almost everything outside of his work has been growing less professional. We've also had a cars sequel and at least two plain movies, something old Pixar never would have done. Up is one of my favorite films, but apparently it was an uphill battle to get made. Disney didn't like it because children wouldn't want to buy old man toys. That's why Pixar is basically the cars company now. To make matters worse, a number of Pixar films were canceled by Disney so that Pixar could focus on 3d rereleases and sequels (actual statement). It's a miracle that Doctor gets anything done at all, but I like him, so I'll probably go see this movie.

The Plane films were not by Pixar they were by DisneyToon studios that used to handle the straight to DVD sequels like return of Jafar.

I can't get excited for any new pixar/disney movies, I don't know why people are so obsessed with their animations.
For example Frozen to me seemed pretty crap and therefore extremely overhyped. I didn't like 'Up' either
