Pixar grants girl's dying wish to see 'Up'

But seriously I dislike Pixar and I got good reasons for it. My writing skills are not great however, so it would take me many hours work to get my views to words accurately in the way where I could try to make people understand it from my perspective. It's pretty much something for it's own topic, but not something I can be bothered to do. I'm off out in an hour, just finishing my last coffee.

I've read your reasonings in the other day, and they were quite BS. You think Pixar should go to hell because they are not utterly depressing like that Plague Dog movie you mentioned.
You sound like one of those hate elitists just for the sake of standing out from the crowd. You know Pixar is popular and if you just went out and said they flat out sucked, people will obviously give you attention. I think it's quite obvious with your comment in this thread when you bash Pixar for doing something good and not relating at all to their movies they make. Get real, you probably can't even name ten people who work at Pixar without Wikipedia'ing it, so I don't see why you would throw such a comment towards the company and people.
Most people who dislike Pixar don't come into threads like this, so I don't see why else you come to these threads other than to get attention.
I've not yet posted my reasons for not liking Pixar. I think you've dug up some post where someone was saying how UP was very eerrie and sad, but I tongue in cheek compared it to a real eeire and sad animation. You jumped to your own conclusion there.
As I said before, it's a big post for me to state the reasons why I dislike Pixar, I can safley say i'm never going to make that topic either, so i'll just briefly without going into much detail say a few things here and now from the top of my head.
Some of it has been pointed out to me by my brother who is a graduate in Multi Media Scienece, having worked with and trained under the guidence of the late Free Radical, it's a mixture of his scrutiny and my own opinion which has made me bored with Pixars paticular unchanging method, and also how other companies try to copy this instead of giving us something freash, including Warner! I don't mean making something that's just darker and more Gothic (which is sadly the only way modern animators seem to think of as a way of providing an alternative: Coraline, Nine, Corpse Bride, Nightmare before Christmas and the upcoming Alice in Wonderland, Tim burton it seems), it needs be something that takes itself more seriously while still providing an adventure suitable for a wide range of age groups, content which seems to of been popular with many 80's and early 90's animations.
Pixar carry the torch now, but they dare step out of their saftey zone, it's a formula that's proven to sell, add one quirky protagonist, sprinkle in some light hearted humer and movie references, add one or two subtle and not too riskay adult jokes so people can claim it's aimed for adults, lots of talented high budget animation, progress from zero to hero and end it happy ever after. Even Disney are more adventuerous (I know Disney own Pixar).
But that's just the top of the iceberg. Rival animators have been going through a bit of a crises, where their work seems to fall flat and be rarther uninspiring. This has made the producers tight and resulted in the death of a few rival animation companies, further dwindling the varity we get on the animation side of things, but from there i'll be going out my depth. It's a bit like Pop music basicly, but I feel like the only punk rock fan on Gamespot, we are getting nothing but Pop.
To be fair, i've not seen Up, and from what i've been told of it has taken a few tiny steps in the right direction and Pixar might just be starting to experiment (just slightly). This will mean good things for those like me who find that the charm of this forumla which has remained unchanged for 13 years has worn off. A lot of you kids have grown up with nothing but Pixar movies, it may be for some of you it's still a new thing. I am hoping that in the next few years I will see something emerge that will shake up this stagnant pool.
As it stands now, we have two things, the pop animations (Pixar, Dreamworks) and then we got Tim Burton. Very recently we just had Coraline, which is perhaps the closest thing we are getting to innovation even if it's more or less under the Tim Burton catagory in terms of characteristics. Things are starting to look up I suppose (holy crap a pun).
And that's the last your going to hear about this from me.
