Mayhem2x3 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I don't really see a difference. The critics loved every one of their films through The Incredibles. My point being that critics were a result, not a cause of intense pixar fandom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 My point being that critics were a result, not a cause of intense pixar fandom. No one knew who "Pixar" was when Toy Story came out. It was mainly because everyone loved that film that the studio gained such a fanbase, and it continued to grow as they kept releasing good films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I object to internet posters and/or critics being called their "die-hard" fans. These movies are made for the parents who bring their multiple children to the theatre. Not the YA (mostly) who latched on a long time ago and believe that their connection to the internet makes them superior fans to the broader GA. MU was the most perfect movie they've made since TS3, it erased the obvious production flaws of the past two films. Why are people still complaining? Disagree with the notion that Pixar is only aiming for parents and children and not the general audience. Their films are chock full of nods, cues, allusions, puns, and situations that adults will enjoy. I thought the incinerator scene in TS3 scared me! There are tons of scenes like that. I don't think Lassetter ever planned on catering to children. He wanted to make great stories...that happened to come in animated form. The more cynical side of the same argument can make the case that with $200 million budgets Pixar know full well they need to make films that appeal to the entire age range.

DAR Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 ChD originally posted this, so I'll give him credit for finding it but have you read the Pixar Theory? http://mashable.com/2013/07/12/the-pixar-theory/ It seems like a stretch, but it's certainly interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, yeah. Smart of them to announce it at the same time as the Cars sequel to soften the nerdrage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Based on the schedule they're trying to implement, I assume the *urgh* Cars sequel will be set for 2018 and the Incredibles for 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
