As in: Bringing characters from different Pixar projects together. fjordaan Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:29:38 GMT http://pixaranimation.blogspot.com/ fjordaan Wed, 24 Nov 2004 21:18:33 GMT http://homepage.mac.com/gregthomy/iMovieTheater4.html fjordaan Sun, 17 Mar 2002 23:12:39 GMT http://kottke.org/09/04/pixar-doesnt-care-about-disneys-investors Disney investors are getting a little antsy with Pixar and their irritating need to make movies that are good without worrying about their commercial success or how many action figures of the main characters can be sold. Says Disney's CEO: We seek to make great films first. If a great film gives birth to a franchise, we are the first company to leverage such success. A check-the-boxes approach to creativity is more likely to result in blandness and failure. fjordaan Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:36:31 GMT http://vastpublicindifference.blogspot.com/2008/06/pixars-gender-problem.html Whenever a new Pixar movie comes out, I wrestle with the same frustration: Pixar's gender problem. While Disney's long history of antipathy toward mothers and the problematic popularity of the Disney Princess line are well-traveled territory for feminist critiques, Pixar's gender problem often slips under the radar. fjordaan Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:56:33 GMT http://www.artofthetitle.com/2009/06/22/wall-e/ Jim Capobianco’s end credits to Andrew Stanton’s “WALL·E” are essential; they are the actual ending of the film, a perfect and fantastically optimistic conclusion to a grand, if imperfect idea. Humanity’s past and future evolution viewed through unspooling schools of art. Frame after frame sinks in as you smile self-consciously. It isn’t supposed to be this good but there it is. This is art in its own right. Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman’s song, “Down to Earth” indulges you with some incredibly thoughtful lyrics and, from the Stone Age to the Impressionists to the wonderful 8-bit pixel sprites, you are in the midst of something special. fjordaan Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:08:01 GMT
