Pixar Animation Studios is the most successful computer animated movie studio on the planet.
A subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company, Pixar has produced sixteen feature films to date
- pretty much all of which have been universally acclaimed - and there are another five planned
over the course of the next three years.Pixar can hardly put a foot wrong, and their movies
have won countless awards - including multiple Oscars. Their movies genuinely stand up to
some of the best non-animated offerings of all time, but they are by no means flawless.
Like any other movies, they contain mistakes - some of which are pretty damn hard to spot
- and that's what this video's going to be about.Here are ten shocking Pixar movie mistakes
you definitely missed. Inside Out
The brilliant and unique Inside Out is set inside the mind of a young girl called Riley
Andersen, where five personified versions of her emotions attempt to successfully navigate
her through life. Right at the start of the movie, when Riley has just been born - in
a scene that was used for one of the movie's many TV spots - her mother can clearly be
seen to be wearing glasses, but when her mother becomes visible from Riley's own point of
view, she suddenly isnt wearing any - and there's really no way she could have removed
them in the time between the scenes. Ratatouille
In Ratatouille, there is a scene in which food critic Anton Ego makes a negative remark
about Chef August Gusteau, comparing him to Chef Boyardee as an insult. However, although
Chef Boyardee as a brand is known for its pre-made canned pasta, the fact is that the
real Chef Boyardee - whose real name was Ettore Boiardi - was a top class, world famous chef.
He was known for being the head chef at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, and he even
catered for president Woodrow Wilson's wedding in 1915. To use a comparison to him as an
insult really makes no sense whatsoever. The Good Dinosaur
The Good Dinosaur takes place on a fictional Earth in which dinosaurs never became extinct,
so we can't pick out the usual dinosaur movie mistakes, like how they shouldn't be co-existing
with humans or certain animals, but there certainly are plenty of others. One example
is when Spot, the young caveboy, finds four other humanlike creatures and approaches them.
Arlo, the young Apatosaurus and the movie's main character, is shown using his nose to
draw a circle around them in a close-up shot. However, it is clearly shown in other shots
that he is standing much too far away from them to be doing it.
Monsters, Inc. In Monsters, Inc., when the main character
Sulley - voiced by John Goodman - runs into the locker room to shove the toys from Boo's
room into a locker, it is clearly locker number 193 that he is seen putting them into and
slamming with both hands. However, when the camera angle changes, the locker his hands
come away from is, bizarrely, number 190, even though his hands absolutely didn't move
from one locker to another in between the two shots.
Cars Cars follows the adventures of a number of
anthropomorphic cars and vehicles - including a stock car called Lightning McQueen, voiced
by the hilarious Owen Wilson. After Lightning catches up with a truck he thought was his
buddy Mack, he turns left at a junction from what is clearly an asphalt road. However,
while the turn is actually taking place, the shot seems to show the road as being made
from gravel or dirt. Apparently, a miraculous transmutation occurred within a split second
of the camera angle changing. Brave
Set in the Highlands of Scotland in Great Britain, Brave tells the story of a princess
named Merida - voiced by Kelly Macdonald - who defies an age-old custom by expressing a desire
not to be betrothed. In one particular scene in the movie, when her family are eating dinner,
there's a blatant factual error occurring. They're all munching down on potatoes, which
wouldn't have actually been possible. The movie is set in or around the 11th century
- in medieval times - and potatoes simply weren't introduced to Scotland, or anywhere
else in Great Britain for that matter, until around 500 years later.
Up There is a scene in Up in which the young
version of Carl Fredricksen breaks his arm and an ambulance inevitably turns up to take
him to the hospital. This was when Carl was 8 years of age, which would have been in the
1930s. Back then, ambulance sirens were mechanical, but the siren that sounds in the movie is
a modern electrical siren, which wasn't actually invented by Motorola employees Ronald H. Chapman
and Charles W. Stephens until 1965, around thirty years after that scene would have taken
place. Toy Story 3
In the opening sequence of Toy Story 3, we see Mr. Potato Head in his "One-Eyed Bart"
persona - One-Eyed Bart being a nefarious bandit character that Andy often portrays
Mr. Potato Head as. Seconds later, Andy's mother walks into his room with a video camera,
and Andy even refers to the character as "Bart" while making Woody arrest him. The problem
is, when Andy shows Mr. Potato Head to the camera, he clearly and miraculously has two
eyes. Not only did the second eye appear out of nowhere, it also makes no sense that Andy
would be calling him by the name of a character who's only supposed to have one eye.
The Incredibles In The Incredibles, there is a clipping from
a newspaper shown of an article that criticises and condems superheroes. Under the headline
"Super Menace To Society", there is a paragraph with a mistake that can only be put down to
someone who worked on the movie mishearing their instructions. The term "innocent bystanders"
is actually misprinted as "innocent by standards", which really makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Finding Nemo Finding Nemo - a wonderful movie in which
the titular clownfish goes missing - is explicitly set just off the coast of Australia, which
means that one character in the movie really shouldn't be in it. That character is Nigel
- a brown pelican voiced by Geoffrey Rush. The problem with Nigel is that brown pelicans
- Pelecanus occidentalis, to get all technical on you - don't exist in Australia. The only
pelicans there are Australian pelicans, otherwise known as Pelecanus conspicillatus. Brown pelicans
are only found in the Americas and if, somehow, one of them found its way to Australia - which
is incredibly unlikely, if not absolutely impossible - then it would undoubtedly be
caught and destroyed, thanks to Australia's extremely strict quarantine laws.
