When Will Pixar Make a Bad Movie?
- Thread starter Mr.Mattress
- Start date
I didn't like Cars, Walle-E, or Ratatouille. The last two by my book weren't bad, just uninteresting and not very entertaining. Cars is the only movie they've made that I thought was actually bad. Which is also why I would like to ask why are they making Cars 2?
I think all of their childish films are awful. I suspect a powerful cabal of cultists are behind their success, since I've seen grown men laugh and appreciate the talking cars, monsters, robots or revived fair-tales, speak aloud of the merits of the lame plots. Insist to me no, it is good, no it is funny.
I am not amused, I am not impressed.
What is clear, is that they have plugged into something. A childish need, a wish to be a kid again. Oh sure, children love the films, but so do young adults and many older adults. Their mastery of the spectacle is unrivalled.
I fear, and pile supplies in the basement.

The company kinda changed hands one time, I hope that doesn't happen again but it sets a precedent, i can imagine that too many changes in the management can screw up the gold egg laying movie company.
Don't anybody else think Pixar is The Valve of movie companies?
They stick to a type of movie, release a few things with big gaps.
Seams to really focus on one thing at a time.
No one saw them coming.
Is critically acclaimed and has devoted fans.
Where did you get your information from?

When Pixar stops grabbing the best and brigest examples of animators and writers money can buy. Hell, as long as Brad Bird is around I'd be wililng to wager they won't make a legitimately bad film.

Our teacher let us slack on the writing because we were running out of time in the semester, so the essay's kinda... incomplete. I would totally post that if it were not the case, but I got the majority of my information from this article in Wired Magazine. I had the actual print version, and I think they may have left out some info, but it's still fascinating in every way possible.
It's ridiculous how much rendering there is to do, though... 49,000+ frames, rendering one about every 7 hours. It really makes a person appreciate the effort put in. I totally recommend this read to everybody reading this read. Yeah.
EDIT: Correction, nothing's missing. It's all there.

do you have no soul? seriously, that movie had one of the most unique and interesting story lines to ever grace the big screen. but to each their own I guess.AvsJoe said:
Well, their worst film was Cars, which was still decent. Pixar making a bad movie seems somewhat like a oxymoron.
Cars was the worst, and it wasn't that bad. Cars 2 is probably the biggest chance for them to make a bad movie. But come on, they're Pixar! They'll probably find a way to make it work.
