A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

THE INCREDIBLES:

Not only is this my favorite Pixar film but it's also my favorite Super Hero film. It combines the fantasy style of a James Bond film and combines it with a Superhero family drama. I always wished they would make a sequel to it. (Cars 2, really?)

I just wanted to know if any Mario Bros fans loved this movie as much as I do.

leave your thoughts, I'd love to hear em.

Peace out.

Pixar only made one movie: Toy Story-- everything after that is just sort of a blur to me. I liked Toy Story, but I prefer conventional hand-drawn animation any day.

The whole "Full CGI" thing completely lost its novelty after the first full-length movie done with CGI. I'm sorry, but it's true. It put good people like Don Bluth and Ralph Bakshi out of a job.

You know which Pixar film I really want a sequel to? A Bug's Life. Now that's an underrated film, yet the Pixar crew really sort of views it as an old shame. They tried to surpass what they did with Toy Story instead of focusing on a good story.

The entire Pixar studio hates that their CGI films have led to most people viewing traditionally animated films as outdated. That's part of why John Lasseter is such an influence in Disney now. Whatever the case, all of their films have some merit. The CGI is just a medium in which to convey the core story and concept. You just have to look past that.

Bluth and Bakshi fell out of the industry long before CGI became an issue, in large part because of their own problems.

I'll always love Toy Story...I need to watch it again. I don't much care for the other stuff.

The Disney movies I loved the most are.
Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. (Besides the SMB movie, this also defined my childhood.)
Toy Story.
The Incredibles.
Wall-e.
UP!

I like what pixar has done, but it's gotten stale. I'd like to see a hand drawn Mario Animated Flick.
Something on the lines as this.

I never bought into Disney as much as I did other animation studios, like MGM for the original "All Dogs Go to Heaven,"-- a movie that moves me to tears every time I watch it. That's saying something-- nothing makes me cry. And of course more independent studios like Hyperion Pictures who produced 1987's underrated "The Brave Little Toaster," based on the book by renowned sci-fi author Thomas Michael Disch who tragically committed suicide in 2008.

I believe you were referring to "The Incredibles", which was one of my favorite movies produced by Pixar. The others are the "Toy Story" movies, "A Bug's Life", and "Ratatouille". I cannot imagine a good sequel for "A Bug's Life", which I feel was a complete story about the ants, but I can imagine one for "The Incredibles" in which we could learn more about Dashiell, Violet, and Jack Jack, the children of Robert ("Mr. Incredible") and Helen ("Elasti Girl") Parr, as they grow and mature.

I've been a fan of Pixar films since the original Toy Story. I actually watched all three just a month ago. 'Jessie's Song' is one of the few fictional moments to ever make me feel true sadness. Pixar just knows how to make truly heartfelt, yet fully enjoyable films.

However, I seem to be on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to enjoying their selection. I feel that A Bug's Life is underrated (see above) while Ratatouille was overrated. I enjoyed Cars more than that movie and rats are my favorite animal.

I never saw A Bug's Life or Rattatooie. I loved Wall-e and Up thought.

I could say the same for myself, and yet I was absolutely blubbering throughout Toy Story 3, which I knew I had to see on the big-screen, because I saw the first two on the big screen. I can even peg the exact moment the waterworks began--at the beginning, when they were in Andy's imagination, on the line "I brought my attack dog with a built-in force field!" And the end...oh, I was thoroughly demolished!

My eyes became wetter near the end of "Toy Story 3" as I watched it from my home. It was the only time I was close to crying while watching a movie.

During my senior Year of High School, we were watching UP and my friend was Crying. I asked him about it and he denied it. haha. good ole emotion denial.

I cried during Wall-E though.

What does everyone feel about Pixar's next upcoming feature, Brave? It's their first "princess" story as well as their first female protagonist. It just looks absolutely gorgeous. The story and characters aren't too far off the mark either.

I love it! The style reminds me very much of Jane and her Dragon, which I adore to bits.

Eh, I'm more of a Monster's Inc fan than anything. I mean sure Up, Ratatouille , WALL-E, and Finding Nemo are on my favorites list and of course the entire Toy Story trilogy is probably the best children's film franchise ever but honestly I think Monster's Inc is my favorite Pixar films ever (though UP is a REAL close second). Sure it's not as emotional as Toy Story 3 and not as powerful as Wall-e but that's why I like it to be honest. It mostly has a laid back tone and while there are some sad moments those are kept to a minimum and they should they be. While most Pixar films feel like they're are trying to be very powerful and very emotional and filled with complex themes, Monster's Inc just feels like it's trying to be a good movie. At least I think that's what it is. There may very well be "Complex" themes to the movie but I sure as hell didn't find one.

Plus c'mon how can you not love John Goodman?

Anyone watch the live action Toy Story movie that's been blowing up the internet? It's really good. I haven't seen the original in years, thought it was funny that Woody calls Buzz Lightyear, Buzz Light-Beer. Oh the things you don't notice when you are a child.

Um, link please?

Here ya go. They use actors for human bits using the original scrit, and when it's the toys segments they use the real audio from the movie.
