but some of the best movies in general they've given us characters that resonate on nearly every level whether

emotionally or intellectually and

Even looking back now with the 29 year old adult I can still feel a sense of wonder and mystery about the world that we

All had when we were kids . This is what made pixar movies so magical. Watching the original toy story as a kid

I enjoyed it because you know it was about a kid who played with toys

[and] know what happens when you're not around

[I] mean every kid who watches toy story goes home and tries to catch their toys moving when they think the coast is clear [at]

My age now toy story is more of an allegory for the life

I left behind the world I can never go back

[I] used to relate to Andy the little kid who lost his favorite toys

But now I see myself as the adult who gave up on Jessie. Lots of what makes pixar movie stand out from pretty much

everything else and how you can watch them at really any point in your life

And it's almost like you see a different movie. The multi-layered complex characters

and story are what propelled these movies from just good movies into timeless classics, so

What happened recently we've had cars, cars 2, brave, the good dinosaur and now cars three

movies that are soulless and lifeless with

one-dimensional characters and the Cookie cutter stories that the old

Pixar would have never had the audacity to tell I mean looking on the internet. It's obvious

I'm not the only one who feels this way

But what exactly made the old pixar so good and this new pixar so bland? Well to illustrate my point

let's take a quick look at toy story. What happens when you go to school and leave your toys by themselves?

That's the main plot certainly interesting in its own, right?

But that's just the tip of the iceberg you see in toy story the fact that their toys isn't just some style choice to appeal

To kids or whatever the fact that these characters are toys drives the entire story

There are humans and animals in this world as well

So we get to see how these toys interact with the world around them. The story could only work with toys

being toys in fact

it's because they're toys that the story has the emotional impact it does. You see firsthand how the toys are affected by the actions of

people. The scene where we learned Jesse's Backstory in toy story 2 is immediately relatable to anyone. We've all had that friend or

[girlfriend-boyfriend] or someone who loved us until one day

they just didn't anymore. We've all been through [it]. Now compare this to the cars franchise right from the beginning,

[there's] no people in this world just cars.

But everything else in the world is exactly the same. Lightning mcQueen is a fish out of water who undergoes exactly zero character development.

He's the same person at the beginning of the movie as he is at the end

Which is completely insufferable and kind of obnoxious the fact that they are cars means absolutely nothing to the story

They could have just as easily been people driving cars or people riding horses playing chess

None of the world-building means anything in these movies. This is even more true [in] cars [-] which unsurprisingly is Pixars

lowest reviewed movie ever this trend continues in Pixar's recent the good dinosaur

Well the movie is no doubt pixar's [best-looking] movie sort of it also has I think the least interesting story

first of all in a world as hyper realistic as the one in good dinosaur

why do the actual dinosaurs themselves look like they were drawn by a five-year-old on [bath] [salts], but that aside the story is just

Incoherent it's bland again

We have this world that's only comprised of dinosaurs or rather we have just one random family of dinosaurs

And how they do completely human things for really no particular reason just like with cars the fact that the movie is about

Dinosaurs means nothing it's not about what the modern world would look like if dinosaurs didn't go extinct

it's just what if this random hillbilly family looked like dinosaurs for some reason this movie could have been done with anything else or

Anyone Else and it would have been the exact same movie now along with the same idea [you] have brave

To be fair brave is not really a bad movie

It's cute and fun and all that but it's not pixar really. It's kind of the beta version of frozen in a way

I mean how [many] movies have you seen about a spunky?

Hot-headed princess who doesn't quite fit in and dreams of a bigger life or whatever? It's rope it's cookie cutter filler

That's not bad

but it's really not particularly good either now compare this to my personal favorite pixar movie "up" right from the beginning the

Notorious first 10 minutes the movie grabs you and never lets go you learn right away

Why this crotchety old man is the way he is we understand that behind this scowl

There's just a little boy who wants to go on an adventure?

The relationship between carl and Russell is equally as heartbreaking as it is uplifting

Russell represents the boy that carl could never be and also the son he could never have the duality of the story the multi-layered

Relationships between the characters [makes] a story that is certainly fun and entertaining for kids

I mean you know the idea of an old man flying into the air with balloons

That's pretty [hilarious]

But watching it as an adult you see your own life in some way or another

In Carl. how many of us have given up on a dream or let fires die that maybe we should have stoked just a little bit

More how many times do we look back and think oh?

I wish I could have done this or I should have done that this is the big difference [between] the old

Pixar and the new one pixar movies used to be timeless and movies like inside-out have proven that there's still some magic left

But over the last several years we've just been getting regular straight kids movies, no multi-layered stories

No emotional journey that parallels our own lives no moments that make you stop and think and reevaluate yourself nothing now

I hate to be overly cynical but it really does feel [like] just some quick cash grabs

Pixar is famous for their 23 rules of storytelling, but I guess they just forgot them or something

but that being said

Whatever path pixar ultimately decides to take will always have the toy stories the ups the [Wally's] the movies that you [can] go back [to]

At any age and experience a time when the pixar name really meant something
