How Pixar Is Able To Succeed (Almost) Every Time 

Favorite Pixar movie of all time? Go.

They have really cracked the code to the light hearted story with inclusion of that important emotional impact.

Pixar is just one of those companies that, especially in their prime, would always resonate with me because they made those childish concepts growing up like Toys (Toy Story), Monsters in the bed (Monsters Inc.), or being with a caring family (Finding Nemo, amongst other Pixar classics. Also not necessarily a "childish concept", but you get the idea) feel so real, even if they are just, as characters, concepts that are inheritably non-human. In my opinion, Pixar rocked because these humane stories and themes center around anything that weren't human characters for the most part.

The reason why Pixar still succeeds today is due to that unlike Disney (in their early years) their films are very original and not once have they ever done a adaptation of a book or a classic story.

"They arent just telling us stories theyre giving us the ability to experience real emotions..." EXACTLY! Most animated movies (and the studios behind them) these days are just looking for the quick laugh and cashing out. Pixar are one of the rare studios that make films that actually make you think and tries to build a connection, thats why each of their movies are so memorable.

If these videos for half an hour long I would still watch them figure that detailed and that well put together

Being 32 in less than 2 weeks, I still get just as excited when a new Pixar-movie is being released as I did when I was a kid. That's something that *NO* other studio have succeeded with. And *THAT* is pure magic!

Pixar was my favorite animation studio as a kid. The very first movie I saw in theaters was Finding Nemo, I was 3. I'm almost 22 and Pixar still has a very special place in my heart, probaby always will. My parents took me to see every single one of their movies after Finding Nemo (except The Good Dinosaur). My dad will be turning 52 and his favorite movie of all time is Cars.

In my opinion Pixar need to make more movies like Wall E and The Incredibles. Movies with deep adult themes but containing enough family friendly humour to keep the kids happy. Instead nearly all of their back catalogue consists of movies of Dreamworks quality. And most of their 2010s catalogue is really forgettable with the exception of Coco, Inside Out and the Incredibles 2

They just tick every box in the handbook and focus on quality and talent.

So, please, Disney, let us see these films in the Cinema rather than dumping them straight on Disney+!

Pixar’s process works so well because its basically how modern product design works.

Favourite Pixar Movie: The Incredibles! It takes the Superhero genre and subverts expectations, spectacularly.

They are able to appeal to all age groups and they are feeding into nostalgia in the best way

There is a difference between making money to create art and creating art to make money

Great video as always! I love that you just bounce around to whatever topics you feel are interesting, it draws the audience in cuz we can feel your excitement.

Personally, Wall-E is my all time favourite Pixar movie. With The Incredibles at second. And could you cover the film Rango?

I found this channel a month ago and I’ve been hooked every since! Seriously all these make sense! I’m glad I’m not the only one who Analyzes movies😆 keep those videos coming!!

Toy Story 2, Soul, Ratatouille, The Incredibles, and Monsters Inc. are my top 5 favorite Pixar movies of all time!

Yet another instant classic video! Amazing content as usual, makes it easier to believe you're going to reach 1mil subs soon!! Thank you for the years of great analysis and the insights you give us, this is one of the few channels whose videos I instantly click on when I get the notification ❤️

Pixar is withora doubt one of the best, if not the best company that took advantage of the animation medium. Change my mind

I found this channel years ago, and I've been hooked on ever since.

That streak of bad sequels and not getting blown away by most of their recent work has left me expecting more from Pixar.

Congrats on almost a Mil. !

I love your vids and I love Pixar and I get wanting to just make a fan vid about their process but, to me, this vid needed way more of the thoughtful analysis you put into your other vids.

1millon subs you deserve it dude good job!!!

Nerdstalgic is so close to 1M!!! Congrats to the whole Nerdstalgic team!

Great video! One of my favorite franchises

i started writing scripts as a hobby and these videos rlly are great bc they help me gain a sense of what makes a good story and good characters and all that. thanks nerdstalgic

For me, what makes animated storytelling so great is how it has more flexibility and freedom to show character emotion, usually through physical expression but also though body language and gesture. With live action you're limited to what the actors can give you, but with animation you can do anything, which means you can make a more distilled emotional connection between audience and character.

Quality video as always!

Thanks for your amazing videos. As a film maker, they really inspire me!

YOU’RE ALMOST AT 1M LETS GO

I'm amazed it's all gone so well given that they're been the one decent thing that's been saving Disney's back since 1995.

“Pixar is second to none when it comes to producing an animated feature film” Studio Ghibli: 😕

Early Congrats on 1 Million Subscribers Nerdstalgic!!

Congrats on 1,000,000!!

Love these videos

Wow, a Pixar video essay that doesn't derail into a "CARS 2 IS BAD" rant.

Almost at 1 Million!!

So cool! Truly starts from the top of the ladder and moves down.

Binging the whole channel, you are incrediblr bruh, congrats on reaching 1 million subs in advance!

This is one of my favorite channels

This video reminded me of a bunch of movies i need to go back and watch again.

Pixar is what happens when art is put ahead everything else

I haven't been excited for a film like I was for Inside Out. I would spend hours just exploring the trailers and watching the sneak peeks because I fell in love with the sheer idea of it. And it turned out to be one of the best films Pixar has!

Congrat's on 1 mil

Pixar : The writer is the master of their own creativity. Disney : What? WB : NO!

I would like to see a video about why pixar's "golden years" are in the past

Now this is the sort of analyzation I'm looking for

this is your best video

Thnx for including my favorite line from Toy Story in the intro.

A very good analysis.

loved this video, so interesting

Ive been subscribed to you forever and haven't been getting your videos sent to my homepage at all in months. I assumed you stopped making videos or something! Just turned notifications on.

Love this video and I haven't even finished watching!

loved this video

How could anyone not love Pixar? Of course they’re not perfect and they’ve had slumps, but goddamnit if they haven’t impacted my life substantially and I’m still glad their movies just get better with time

Amazing animation, amazing ending, amazing character dev = Print money

@2:00 TS3 was released 15 years after TS1 where Andy was like, 6 years old (or about turn 6 - he had a birthday party early) either way the age doesn't match the timeline. Maybe the movies were delayed or they scrapped the real time aspect of it? It's a neat idea that almost sounded accurate until I thought about the events in the film.

Pixar movies feel passion-driven. Making a profit feels more like a secondary goal.

Pixar’s success in one word; efficiency

"Come up with your ending before you figure out the middle" Looking at YOU, Bioware...

I have an actual medical examination lamp from the '60's in my living room which is exactly like the Pixar lamp, except it's 7 feet tall and weighs 60 pounds. It's my favorite thing ever.

Pixar the company that says, "hey this crazy idea for a film is not only going to work, but also make u cry, a lot"

Me: was super into different computer generated videos in the 90's before Pixar became a household name Nerdstalgic: Pixar didn't just make 3D animation popular. They invented it. Me again: kids these days 😒 It's fair to say that Pixar revolutionized the field though 👍

Almost to 1 million subs

SO CLOSE TO 1MIL!!

That meeting in a cabin probably involved some chemical, um, help.

Well, that answers a question I’ve had for years. Thanks! Lol

You should make a video on Ratatouille , this is my most favourite Pixar movie .

Toy Story 3 reminds me a little of The Brave Little Toaster

almost one mil!! 999k!!!

So close to 1 mil

Kinda excited for light year. Might be the next Wall E or The Incredibles

Pixar movies need to come back in the theaters

ALMOST TO 1 MILL WOOOO its about time!

“Come up with your ending before you come up with your middle.” Literally the FIRST show I thought of was Cowboy Bebop. Watanabe had always planned on the anime ending the way it did

If I remember right, Pixar scared Disney so much in competition, Disney bought them out.

Videos that aged like milk for 200

the mouse broke them and pixar fixed the mouse.

By coming up with original ideas and being relatable.

You could one day talk how Square Enix worked with Pixar to animate characters and prepare the story for Toy Story and Monsters Inc. in Kingdom Hearts 3

Remember when Pixar movies premiered in theaters? Good times

Favorite thing for me Pixar does is not have musical numbers.

Fun fact. Big Idea’s first VeggieTales piece is just about 15 min (a long time of animation) shy of being considered a film, and it predates Toy Story.

I hope there will never be a live action adaptation of any Pixar movies

Hot take: Cars 2 isn’t that bad

The Genius of Regular Show!

Nothing will ever match that 1995-2010 era

i cant wait to work for pixar

Didn’t all of their movie ideas up until Nemo come from a single brainstorming session in the early 90s? That’s what I heard

Didn’t this dude have a essay gaming channel? He sounds just like someone else.

I feel like the golden age of Pixar was 1995-2009. Now I’m not saying Pixar movies after 2009 are bad, I just feel their late 90s and 2000s catalog was much better. I mean after the 2000s we got Brave, Cars 2, The Good Dinosaur, and some average movies like The Incredibles 2 and Monster’s University. The only real late 90s and 2000s movies I was not interested in were A Bug’s Life and Cars.

Marvel Studios actually uses animated storyboards (The Third Floor) for their movies before they begin filming too.

This guy's voice is so wonderful

0:21 unless you count cars 2, brave, and the good dinosaur. and, depending on who you are, maybe all cars films.

Pixar Is My Favorite Animation Studio Of All-Time Because He Needs To Being Brainstorming Some Ideas Who Would Turn Into Films :)

can you do a similar video with Ghibli? I would like to hear your opinion on that.

Pixar is art
