Pixar's Golden Age is over. by Stifler's Mom	Feb 8th, 2008 11:47:45 AM
After one hell of a decade between Toy Story 1 and Incredibles, Pixar really hits the skids with Cars. Ratatouille was amusing and looked great, but definitely overrated. And sorry, but Wall E just looks like a cutesy version of Short Circuit.

Honestly after two fantastic films like Incredibles and Ratatouille that pushed that boundries of childrens entertianment plus loads of other great pixar films that consistent the Talbackers have towrds Pixar is amazing. Yes Cars was lame but honestly are you guys just being cynical to be cynical.

This is why I love Pixar by StovetopStuffin'	Feb 8th, 2008 12:16:26 PM
even though Cars was a mild step backward, as far as story/character went, Pixar is amazing at knowing just what direction to go in. This is going to be like a Charlie Chaplain movie, and that tickles me to no end. I love that these guys are making a movie that, from what I've seen, relies on acting, and not fart jokes or celeb voice work. I'm sure it'll be just a few more minutes before someone says something completely hateful, and all I can say is, anyone who thinks it looks like crap, don't go to the theater. Let us enjoy it.

On strike and Pixar by critch	Feb 8th, 2008 12:56:55 PM
Strike: I'll wait for someone more official to say the strike is over than Eisner, who's pretty much been wrong on everything for the last decade. Pixar: If any production company has earned our respect and the benefit of the doubt, it's them. If the worst they've produced is Cars, then they need to be raised on a pedestal. Personally, I didn't take to Ratitoulle as much as the critics, but you cannot seriously deny the artistry and sheer storytelling ability told in that film. Roll on Wall-E, and anything else they want to do. Which hopefully will be Incredibles 2.
It looks... incredible! by filmicdrummer17	Feb 8th, 2008 01:01:19 PM
Wow, wow, wow! Even on a dinky Youtube page, this could end up being my favorite film in a long time. Pixar can do no wrong, as far as I'm concerned. Even an off day (Cars) is still miles away from the shit Dreamworks puts out on a regular basis. These guys just have the bar so high, a film that, under normal circumstances, would be considered "very good," is instead seen as "mediocre." It's a shame.

Cars is underrated... by mysteryperfecta	Feb 8th, 2008 01:10:39 PM
It may be lesser Pixar, but just like all Pixar, it improves after multiple viewings. And lest we lose perspective, lesser Pixar is still better than nearly all conventional fare.

Way to give away the effing ending, Pixar. Thanks. by 3 Bag Enema	Feb 8th, 2008 01:49:34 PM
I hate when they do that. And is this the first Pixar movie scored by John Williams or did they just gank Star Wars ques for this trailer?
Pixar IS The Incredibles.... by Ninja Nerd	Feb 8th, 2008 01:51:40 PM
...when it comes to making great films. While my favorite is most definitely The Incredibles, there's not a single Pixar I don't like a lot. I passed on Cars at the cineplex...I don't care much for NASCAR or racing in general...and was later sorry. It wasn't a 90 minute commercial for NASCAR...it was a totally excellent story! Same with the last film...wasn't clamoring to see a movie about a rat that cooks. Turns out Brad Bird still hasn't delivered a turd pile...this was a nice film. Doesn't have the "rewatchability" that The Incredibles and Cars have, but still far better than anything else by non-Pixars. And now, WALL*E. I'm thinking this will be somewhere between very good and a modern classic that future films are measured against. We'll see!
no one ever mentions Monster's Inc by Kloipy	Feb 8th, 2008 01:55:30 PM
I love that fucking movie
Number Johnny Five! by Marco Segrain	Feb 8th, 2008 01:57:37 PM
I think the creators of Short Circuit gonna sue somebody... But seriously, this will appeal to all ages and nationalities in a way that we haven't seen since the days of silent film. Classic story of Boy Robot meets Girl Robot, Boy Robot loses Girl Robot, Boy Robot goes after Girl Robot. And if you can't at least enjoy that, damn your cold, black heart.
Better....but still. by kdoc13	Feb 8th, 2008 02:03:19 PM
OK, I am no Pixar hater, I actually liked Rat. But I wasn't big on Doc...er, Cars, and like Cars, the first previews I saw for this made me wonder what exactly the movie was about. This preview is better. Still, I can't imagine my kids sitting through a kiddie "art-film" which is more visual than vocal. And while beautiful to look at, especially the complexity and detail in every shot, I have to admit that I am not sure if I can sit through it either. We'll see. I am hoping it blows me away though.
Much better by Acappellaman	Feb 8th, 2008 02:12:37 PM
Like other people, I was wondering what kind of movie Wall*E was going to be. Now we all have a better understanding. I think this movie looks like it'll be lots of fun to watch. Aside from the mildly annoying voice he has, his curiosty and amazing emotion he shows with such a simple structure will make his discoveries so much fun to watch. My interest just cranked up a notch or two.
Same story with every Pixar release by bswise	Feb 8th, 2008 02:13:48 PM
You get a bunch of jaded critics proclaiming the death of their "goden age" and how sold out they've become. Then the movie, itself, sets a new high mark for animation and production design.
Looks appealing... by Phimseto	Feb 8th, 2008 02:14:02 PM
...but I'm reminded of "Happy Feet" where you think its about dancing penguins and being an individual, but then it becomes a groan-inducing cartoon tagalong to "An Inconvenient Truth". I couldn't help but think of that while watching the "Wall-E" trailer. Come for the love story, stay (rather, be stuck with) the hammer on head subtlety of our environmentalist message!
Looks so good. by TattooedBillionaire	Feb 8th, 2008 02:15:59 PM
I really can't wait for this. I love silent films, so I'm hoping "Wall-E" reflects upon them a lot.
Trailer Music by cabbagecowboy	Feb 8th, 2008 02:20:54 PM
The music is from 1986's "SpaceCamp" scored by Williams. The track is "Home Again" Good score and happpy b-day Williams

Why the hell would they take off a friggin' trailer? They don't want the potential thousands of viewers? I remember some time ago I started watching ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT clips on YouTube. I had so much fun I ordered the complete series on DVD that same day. But when I try to get a friend to watch the clips, turns out Fox took them out. What the hell people? Same happened with the FUTURAMA MOVIE trailer. I put it on my website from YouTube and a day later it's gone. Seriously, can someone explain to me why they do that?

"The Wall-E voice cast features Jeff Garlin, Ben Burtt, Fred Willard and Kim Kopf." So says a voiceovertimes on January 18th. Fred Willard isn't hired for his nuance. I really like the design. I hope PC Bot ends up with Mac Bot.

Why does everyone want Pixar to fail? by performingmonkey	Feb 8th, 2008 04:59:22 PM
Amd people always say 'Cars sucked' when it fucking didn't, it just wasn't as good as Nemo, Incredibles and then Ratatouille also beat it. But just look at the fucking high standard those movies are at. As far as animation goes Cars was fucking excellent, and the voice acting was stellar. The main problem was the cars' faces, which is the one thing Pixar just couldn't get right. It didn't matter in the end though. Pixar are so good they take very simple ideas and run with them. Ratatouille for instance, it's about a rat chef coming to the aid of a sucky human chef. It's a ridiculous idea, PERFECTLY executed in fantastic inventive original movie.

Looks Stunning by sambrook	Feb 8th, 2008 06:31:26 PM
Hopefully it will win over the cynics and the ignorant families confused about the lack of voices. Sweeney Todd got official complaints in the UK for not being advertised as a musical, what's the betting the same idiots will complain about the lack of silent movie warning with this one? And, to everyone who hates Ratatouille - especially those who wittily call it Ratbollocks or the like (fucktards) - I just don't get the hate. I bet half of you haven't even seen it. So it's not steeped in obvious comedy and full of action? So what. It's a hell of a sweet, charming, nuanced tale with real characters and emotion and wit running all the way through it, not to mention the stunning aesthetic. And the guy who said it resembled something of Dreamworks - fuck off and watch it back-to-back with Shark's Tale. You can dislike it but that comment was idiotic. Unless you saw a version with celebrity voices for every character, pop references in every line and a pop-filled soundtrack to shift the CDs, in which case I take it back.

Talking cars and whatnot lend themselves to that more than rats who like to cook. I don't blame Disney & Iger for exploiting it. But the movie isn't that great... it's a sub-par DOC HOLLIDAY in all-car universe (which remains baffling to me).

Forgetting Perspective by HyphenatedWords	Feb 9th, 2008 01:40:52 AM
"Laugh it up, Fuzzball," is not a witty line, but we laughed and laughed when we were eight years old. E.T. plays like an after school special in many places, yet we were instantly transported into -- not a far away galaxy, but -- a bedroom and neighborhood with dust in the sunbeams and our bikes taking us everywhere. I see the prequels through my 9-year-old daughter's eyes, and it lets me forget my expectations and recriminations. She hasn't heard enough dialogue to know when something is cliché or derivative. She watches Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and proves to me that I would have been blown away when I was a kid. I'm obviously leading up to "Give Wall•E a break," but by this point it feels moot. Haters just like being haters. All of that being said. DID ANYONE ELSE PICK UP ON THE FREAKING JAWS MUSIC AT THE END OF THIS TRAILER????? That made me very, very happy. If you thought it sounded familiar and couldn't put your finger on it, the brassy fanfare at the end of the trailer is from the end of the final credits in Jaws, as the tiny forms of Brody and Hooper pull themselves up to shore. Brilliant stroke.

a good family film hits at many levels...its great that you can watch a movie or show through your daughter's eyes, but i would be better if a part of that movie spoke to you...i remember watching the original batman tv series as a kid, and thinking it was great adventure, then watching it years later to see how tongue in cheek it was...and it was still enjoyable, just on another level...ff is not like that...sure kids can dig it, but as an adult i got no enjoyment from it...another great family show is animaniacs...and the same with pixar...every age can find something different about these movies...and wall-e looks totally brilliant...a throwback to when cartoons didnt need all the dialogue...i cant wait

"CARS certainly has great commercial possibilities" by irrelevntelefant	Feb 9th, 2008 10:45:18 AM
almost all movie toy lines see their sales peak the year the movie comes out, and then they drop off each successive year Cars is the first to see their toy related sales go up each successive year since the movie was released it's almost unheard of in the movie/toy industry

Terrific trailer by SpencerTrilby	Feb 9th, 2008 05:45:50 PM
Pixar may be hit-and-miss but I still love their weakest efforts (Cars, Ratatouille, Nemo or Monsters Inc.) ten times more than Dreamworks pieces of shit (insert any title here). Judging by that trailer and my experience, I'm betting Wall-E will end up really, REALLY good.

Jaws final notes it was. Put the right name on it I couldn't.

You know, I'm really surprised... by WYLD STALLYNS RULES	Feb 10th, 2008 01:53:05 AM
...that there hasn't already been a polemical flame-war about the "liberal media eco-terrorist conspiracy" in talkbacks for Wall-E. I can't wait to see if Massawyrm's review of this is as ridiculous as the Happy Feet review was. Come on, righties! The whole "trashed planet" plot conceit isn't making your balls boil? Or is Pixar untouchable even for you guys?
Johnny 5 made C-3P0 look like the T2000... by BurnHollywood	Feb 10th, 2008 02:25:11 AM
...And that's all I remember about that FPOS movie. I realize you Generation Y types need to celebrate all the horrid eighties garbage you ate up in your diapers as something special, but let's not tarnish Pixar's venerable name by associating it with that moving stool sample, shall we? Thanks!

That wasn't the Jaws music by I Dunno	Feb 10th, 2008 08:08:12 AM
There wasn't any brassy fanfare when Hooper and Brody got to shore. It was a quieter version of Quint's theme.
I hate "Short Circuit" as much as the next guy...but by conspiracy	Feb 10th, 2008 10:15:05 AM
It still does occupy a small dark corner of my black soul...as it allowed me, a young teenage fiend at the time, yet another opportunity to flog the dolphin to Ally Sheedy.
Every time a new piece of news comes up for WALL-E... by mefrog	Feb 10th, 2008 03:33:17 PM
...I realize that I'd rather see this once over ten Dark Knight viewings.
