In an article entitled “How Pixar’s Elemental Kept Its Fire Burning at the Box Office,” the Walt Disney Company has just sung the praises of Pixar’s newest summertime animated film. Some might actually think that this is not the best time to be boasting or drawing any attention to successful films, since Disney and many other film studios are being ...

In the 1990s, Disney Animation Studios was on top of the world. They released hit after hit, including some of the most iconic Disney films ever: Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), and Lion King (1994). But in 1995, Pixar Studios released Toy Story and changed the game. When Disney faced an adversary, they did what they usually do: buy it, which ...

The new Pixar movie Elemental is the talk of the town (as is the deceptively upsetting Up short that comes before it).

Pixar takes the animation crown when it comes to dreaming up complicated characters that leave their marks on viewers’ minds. From Finding Dory’s camouflaging Septopus, Hank, who took the design team two years to finalize, to the light-emitting Joy from Inside Out, Pixar is no stranger to animation innovation. This time, the personification pros at Pixar have taken on the monumental ...

Back in the day, the scene from a movie that Ryan Reynolds blamed for “lifelong trauma” was probably the most famously-upsetting scene from an animated Disney movie — but these days, there is a more modern (and arguably just as upsetting) scene that gets more recognition. The animated Disney and Pixar movie Up, from 2009, has one of the most ...

When Pixar Animation Studios released Toy Story 4 in 2019, the actual Toy Story was finally complete. Kickstarted by studio co-founder and legend John Lassetter before his unceremonious departure and fulfilled by director Josh Cooley, the fourth installment was the necessary epilogue that proved the entire franchise is really about a toy named Woody and his struggles with the duties that ...
