Pixar and Dreamworks films discussions

Kitbull got to me. So glad there was a happy ending to that one.

I haven't watched the others yet, but I liked Smash and Grab. Maybe it's because I think Wall-E is one of the greatest movies ever, but I think it has potential for a full movie.

So we finally can see what the fourth movie is all about...

I'm so excited for this to ruin me emotionally.

Pixar have two movies out next year. Onward doesn't look quite as emotionally ruining, but I have faith there'll be some part where the strings swell and I curse them.

That looks beyond amazing.

This one I'm more curious what it's actually about.

Trailer reads like more of a Disney movie that Pixar animated rather than a Pixar movie. Coming of age, hero's journey, someone learns something about the value of family, blahblahblah.

So... like Brave, the Good Dinosaur, or Coco?

Don't forget the protagonist's parent(s) dying

Onward still gives me strong Dreamworks vibes. I wouldn't be shocked if it ended with a dance party.

Yep me too.

Soul is skipping theaters, going directly to Disney+

It will be free to all subscribers. None of the “Premier Access” non-sense.

Good.

That premier access thing was absurd, price-wise.

I can't wait to see it!

Happy about that although Pixar is fun to see in theaters.

Onward was great though so I am always up.for more Pixar

Guess we completely skipped Luca in this thread...

Up next:

I've seen the first half of Luca about a dozen times, until my kids attention span gives out. Is good so far.

Silenzio, Bruno!

I'd say Luca is in the top portion of my bottom tier Pixar movies. That might sound harsh, but that's only because Pixar has produced so many outstanding movies that it's tough to break into the top tiers. There is still a seemingly endless list of animated movies that aren't as good as Luca.

So.... Better than Cars. That's something at least.

Red Panda!

I watched the first episode of Monsters at Work with my kids and we all disliked it. I believe I laughed at two bits, but the kids were basically falling asleep.

I doubt we'll ever fire up the second episode, let alone tune in weekly for the rest.

I like to remind people that Monsters at Work, just like the two Planes films, where not done with Pixar even if they are based on a Pixar franchise. It is proceeded by "Disney" not "Disney Pixar" in it's title.
