Russell Crowe in The Mummy is the best comedic perfiormance of 2017 so far.

I think I pee'd a litttle.

They don't really, as much, lately.

 

I mean Inside Out was two years ago, and we don't know Coco's quality yet.

 

I will say, I'm disappointed they're going all out sequels.

[nomyth]

I always play devil's advocate with Pixar movies. Every time I'm around folks who are going apeshit over them, I tend to think... are they really that good?

 

But every time I talk to Pixar haters, I'm like... you're crazy! They're great!

 

Truth is, their brand is largely synonymous with quality in terms of family offerings for the GP. They're definitely doing something right. And I, personally, can't wait for Coco.

 

They need to fucking stop the sequels tho. Jeez.

I still have faith in Incredibles 2 since Brad Bird is returning and is actually a wanted sequel.

[MovieMan89]

Way better for Cars than I would've expected. Just amazing yet again for WW.

I will say that sitting through CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS and parts of TROLLS makes me appreciate Pixar and Disney more.

I think Toy Story 4 will be the last sequel for a while. 

 

Pixar are the gold standard IMO alongside WDAS. A lot of the other studios tend to go for gags over the story whereas I think Pixar and WDAS get the balance right. 

[The Futurist]

The Pixar brain trust is more happy to do sequels than you would think.

someday i'll get around to good dinosaur. for me pixar are kinda like marvel movies in that there's 3 or 4 that i deeply love (inside out/wall-e/up are their holy trinity) and there's just kinda a big "pretty good" mush in the middle and then a couple shit ones.

Ha ha, for serious. As an adult, I can always at least appreciate that they're a step above when it comes to kids offerings.

 

Having said that, I had to watch Cars every day for about a year when I babysat my cousins kids. So, the entire franchise is like needles in my brain now.

Exactly. I love Pixar/Disney because not only their films are so beautiful but they have great story and message. and are very touching.

 

the opposite is Illumination, my least fav studio, all they have are gags

Warner Animation Group is good as well, even their weakest film Storks was still decent.

Outside of Cars what's wrong with Pixar sequels?

[grey ghost]

There's a serious lack of Tupac gifs in this weekend thread.

They've also done a good jobs of a keeping budgets. Though like animation studio not named Disney / Pixar, they outsource a lot of their animation.

Personally for me nothing, I actually quite enjoyed MU (technically a prequel), and liked FD. I'm sure Cars 3 will be fine as well.

I'll take the worst of Disney or Pixar before I sit through a minute of Trolls again.  They aren't perfect but they also don't pander to the vomit inducing extreme.

nothing as long as they come from the right place. Finding Dory and Toy Story 2 are great. Even Monster's University is very good

Blue Sky does their own animation although they're based in Connecticut rather than California. 

 

WAG has used Animal Logic, SPI and for Scooby Reel FX so while they do outsource, it's using very good animation companies.
