Classic Disney Article: Ass-Kissing Pixar- ITS GETTING OLD

I cant take it anymore. Just cant. PIXAR is not the almighty everything of cartoon animation. I grew up with the Walt Disney era and Renaissance era classics, NO COMPUTER animation. Yet every single fricken animated movie that comes out today, is compared to PIXAR, or god forbid ( The Lion King) which is also severely overrated. I don't hate PIXAR, or Lion King, BUT I do hate that other animated movies that get released that are just as enjoyable, or more in my opinion are always compared. OR that the classics I grew up are now forgotten because everything is PIXAR. NO...Disney is King and always will be. Critics need to remember that. Dreamworks, Illumination, Sony, Blue Sky have also released fantastic movies, that deserve to be reviewed on their own merit and not always compared to PIXAR. Even all the Disney Princesses that I love dearly are getting bashed now, because of BRAVE- " WE are releasing a princess who does everything herself, and needs no prince" - fine and dandy. But most of the Princesses I grew up loving were very proactive as well, and didn't just sit around having tea- letting people make decisions for them. Ariel didn't let her dad control her life, Jasmine didn't let those dumb princes whoo her, Belle didn't marry Gaston- they all stood up for what they believed in, and were very proactive. SO whether you agree or not, please remember the Disney most of us grew up with, they are true treasures that should not just be tossed aside.

faya27 Yes, I totally agree with you! Although I like Pixar, I agree that Pixar isn't everything. One of things I don't like about Pixar is that most of their villians are too average to be villians. Or may be threatening to the main characters but not to us. Take Sid for example. To the toys, he's a toy-killer but to us the audience, he's some creepy kid who breaks his toys. I like to think that he bullied Andy some time prior to the first film to make Sid more threatening in my mind. How about Darla from Finding Nemo? Yes, to the fish, she's a fish-killer. But to us the audience, she's some irresponsible little girl who is too stupid to take care of fish. "Dangerous" is a better word to describe her, so I wouldn't label her "evil" like I would with Ursula or Jafar. Personally, I wasn't too crazy about Wall-E, Ratatouille and Cars. My brothers who grew up on Hotwheels, don't care that much for Cars at all, either. I struggle to be excited for Brave because I totally got "Mulan" vibes from it. Even my brother pointed out that the plot sounds a bit much like Mulan. People shouldn't ommit movies based on a studio. Every studio makes good and bad films. Just like Disney makes good and bad films, I'm sure Pixar does too.
