100 things I love about pop culture -- Pixar

Watch on YouTube

Seriously, you have to love a movie studio that takes the extra time to animate bloopers for their movies. On top of that, they consistently put out high quality entertainment. TRUE family entertainment, not kids-giggile-while-parents-suffer "family" movies but movies that make everyone in the whole family happy. I have loved every single Pixar movie so far (except for Cars...anthropomorphic automobiles do nothing for me).

The Toy Story trilogy has to be one of THE best film trilogies of all time. I fall in love with Wall*E every time I see it. I bawl like a baby during the first few minutes of UP but just can't stop watching because I know Dug will be there soon to make me smile again. Finding Nemo...oh how I bawked at a film with talking fish but it has to be one of my favorites. And The Incredibles? Just an amazing mix of action and story. Monsters Inc. grew on me since I saw it before I had a job...now that I've worked in the real world, I get it LOL! SO MUCH LOVE FOR ALL THESE FILMS!

Plus John Lassiter. Can we talk about how awesome this man is?? Yes, he could have used Pixar to wipe out hand drawn animation forever but instead he used his powers for good to try to talk Disney into reviving the department. Yeah, Princess and the Frog didn't exactly storm the box office, but it at least got us Tangled, who's roots are firmly in the realm of the animated Disney classic films. I just hope they don't drop the ball now that he has passed it to them.

AND OMG BRAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!! I'm already in love with Merida and her gorgeous red hair of crazyness and her archery skills and her Scottish accent. <3 <3 <3

Ugh, oh man, Pixar. Such quality, I can't. UP. Oh my god, UP. I think that one is my favorite because it's the one I cry at the most. Toy Story is really good and I like it, but it's one of those movies that I just WORE OUT when I was younger so it's hard to watch now, lol.

Cars is the only one I haven't seen because.. it's cars. And I'm like, really? Idk there is nothing in it that appeals to me.

AND OMG YES BRAVE!! When is the actual release date? I was looking at Fandango this morning and saw some midnight showings for tonight?! ALREADY?!

I've seen the first half of Cars. I was hoping that it would surprise me but it didn't. I think the thing that most upset me was the somewhat racist stereotypes, which they only got away with because the cars were made in those countries...but still. Also, I can't stand the comedian that voices Mater...who, in the real non-Disney world, does all that "blue collar" humor (again, which somehow gets a green light to be somewhat racist). So, yeah, no Cars for me. :-\
