They'll hit thier stride eventually. But until they do, I intend to be delighted for years to come.

And just think - that mastermind is behind Disney animation now.

It's true that most movie studios have made a lot of "flops," and "lack-lusters," but it's kind of strange how Pixar seems to always make classic films.

That thought makes me happy in ten thousand different ways.

*Lokotei and I have seen it twice already. And we almost never see a movie more than once during its theater run. It's that good.

Surprisingly dark? Yes, but ultimately extremely optimistic about human nature, I thought.

On another note, I'm pretty sure the reason Pixar's films are so consistently good is that they tell the stories they want to tell instead of just jumping on the bandwagon du jour. They did superheroes early and avoided the rush. When every other CGI studio was doing penguins, their hero was a rat. And so on.

Optimistic? I can see that, yeah. The lesson being, in the end, that if you motivate him enough, even the laziest slob will get up off his butt and do the right thing (to the tune of "Also Sprach Zarathustra," no less).

Also, I vote WALL-E and EVE for best movie couple of the year. He's a working-class garbage man in a deadend job, she's a highly trained scout soldier with a big plasma gun. . . a match made in heaven. Robot Heaven, perhaps.

I'd argue that not only does Pixar do their own thing, but they aren't afraid to tell deep stories. I mean. . . CARS explored the nature of fame and celebrity, The Incredibles is a movie about surviving your mid-life crisis, WALL-E is a critique of the Internet Generation, Ratatouille is about struggling as an artist in the face of criticism. . . they might only touch on them lightly, but the message is there. And the best part is, they're never preachy about it: it's just part of what the characters have to deal with, and the movie is more about them dealing with it than trying to tell us how to do the same.

Well worth it. Go see it.

I think it's because they love the story. They don't do it to make money, they do it to tell a good story, and the money comes in as a result.
