Everything Pixar, deep analyzation, personal rants, movie reviews: it's all here! Follow me along and support my chronic addiction to Pixar related stuff in general.
Congrats on 1.31k Jack! Really proud of you, you can't imagine how it is to have 1k even after only a few videos! hoping to see you with that 1 mil one day!
I thought the BURN-E short was pretty good. I took place during the events of the actual movie, so there wasn't any risk of bastardizing characters or adding to the story in a way that would change cannon. If anything, it acted like a scrapped subplot which I think is neat. LMAO Tin Toy. A part of me wants to defend it for being a risk that saved Pixar's animation team after its financially rocky start, but hoo-boy did it age. "Early CGI Was Horrifying" is a great YT vid in which KnowledgeHusk overviews old projects and tech developments, but after bearing witness to a bunch of demonic clowns and chrome mannequins, even he can't take it: "That baby this is one of the most horrifying things I can imagine seeing in the 1980s or the 90s or ever! I don't care about the technical accomplishments of this at this point; it's just disturbing." BTW the baby's name is Billy. Lookit his Fandom description lol: "Billy is the ugliest character of the 1988 short 'Tin Toy'. He is an abnormal baby demon around 7 or 8 months old."
I do like this format, it’s quite interesting and neat. Also, I enjoyed this film for what it was. Very funny, and wholesome at times. The IF designs were pretty creative too and overall John Krasinski did very well directing it (he said on interviews he was writing it during the COVID lockdowns). Also loved the montage tribute after the credits to Louis Gossett Jr’s character who funny enough was also named Louis.
I might do something with this if any other similar movies come up. This one just worked out because I was interested in it but not super dead set on seeing it so it gave me some time. No kidding tho this movie is beyond adorable. I really enjoyed it and I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns into my comfort movie lol. It was kind of nice having no villain or obstacle characters - just a straight up problem. The tribute was also so nice. I had to refrain from talking about the movie too much lol. I’d get sidetracked.
To be fair, if there's some kind of fantasy creature coming to "fix" family issues by just being silly you already know the whole plot from start to finish 💀 I might be salty but it's a super corny trope for me
Well what made it super interesting is that the IFs didn't come to fix a problem; they came because they were scared of losing someone they love: their owners. That's why the reveal at the end about Bea being able to see them because she needs them to get through her similar situation is actually pretty good. Plus, I don't think the plot was SUPER generic... but I might just be skill issuing.
