AniNate Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I'd say Brave is probably the closest Pixar has been to a "straight" movie, since there's little humor actually involving Merida. As far as consistent earnestness goes, though, I'd probably give that to Wall-e. It has chuckles but it mostly takes itself pretty seriously Definitely hoping they treat Arlo's story with the sensitivity it calls for Edited October 12, 2015 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 There's still a sad undercurrent to it all though. That WALL E remains so cheerful in his environment adds to the heartbreaking nature of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'm on my phone, but according to the El Capitan Theater (Disney's main theater) it's 92 minutes long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Kinda curious what the MPAA rating's gonna be. Will involving a human push it to PG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'm definitely betting on a PG rating, actually. It looks to have a lot more intense action than a lot of Pixar films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowhite Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'm definitely betting on a PG rating, actually. It looks to have a lot more intense action than a lot of Pixar films. Possibly. I feel comfortable saying though that... Basically nobody sees a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murgatroyd Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Kinda curious what the MPAA rating's gonna be. Will involving a human push it to PG? It's safe to assume that PG is the minimum rating these days. The only non-documentary G-rated movie announced so far this year is Peanuts.

Mojoguy Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It's safe to assume that PG is the minimum rating these days. The only non-documentary G-rated movie announced so far this year is Peanuts. 2/3 of Pixar's films are rated G, the last one with that rating was Monsters University.

goldenstate5 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm on my phone, but according to the El Capitan Theater (Disney's main theater) it's 92 minutes long. Oh snap. Sometimes they include the short which is 7 minutes long. Could TGD actually be 85 minutes with credits? There's only one Pixar movie under 90 min, and that's Toy Story.
