The BEST Pixar Games

[@kaichihuahua5229]

This + your other videos honestly makes me feel less ashamed that these type of "movie games" made up a fairly large part of my very young childhood, seeing as...well, obviously, it was my parents buying the games they thought I would enjoy (and I had no clue about any popular games like "FF7" or "DMC" until much, much later, so not that I could make any particular requests either). And...hey. I enjoyed a lot of these games too! A lot of them weren't actually that bad at all! Your love for these games makes me love my funny old games too now (:

[@Corax]

Genuinely glad that you could feel this way thanks to my videos! Never be ashamed of your gaming origins! I've had a similar experience + not being a native speaker, it's not like I could've really played a lot of the "real" games at the time. I only got into mainstream gaming once I was in my teens. Revisiting these experiences can help getting in touch with who you were back then and even if you only got to play the worst of shovelware as a kid, there is no shame in that! Cheers!

[@BenDover-sd8yh]

Yeah people shit on those game too much, i remember playing so many movie games as a kid specially toy story 3 for the psp. It was so fun trying to try and 100% the game

[@braaiboet8464]

Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue is one of a small suite of games that has a mythic status of nostalgia in my brain. Played it at just the right age that I was able to fully engage with it, but everything also was mindblowing when I encountered it. I remember being absolutely terrified of some of the bosses, especially the ones that would chase after you (the robot toy and jackhammer). And MY GOD, the music.

[@marcushalberstam5327]

Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue is such a great game, I've recently played through it again and its pretty fun plus the music slaps some major ass

[@plaidypus820]

Same feelings here. Also the Kite boss and Trash Can Goo monster gave me nightmares as a kid. I remember feeling really unnerved by the penthouse and airport levels. Something about the quiet soundscape and serious grey surrounding was so jarring from the bright and colorful levels before them.

[@Liboo52]

Corax, did you know ESRB’s ratings are based on thematic content, not difficulty? On the back of the box it shows why games received the listed rating. The Incredibles: The Video Game is rated T for, “Cartoon Violence”

[@izzyhope58]

ya exactly. It has nothing to do with difficulty. The only reason Incredibles was T was cause E10+ didn't exist yet. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this.

[@Inochih]

Yeah, and it's the same thing with PEGI.

[@krimsonklaww611]

Potato Head hoarding all the power ups until Buzz helps his couch potato ass is entirely in character.

[@Mabra51]

An interesting point about Wall-E is that the part where the protagonists get thrown into the Axiom's dump, instead of Eve having to repair Wall-E, it's the opposite, just like in the deleted scenes.

[@8-bitaxolotl]

ive said this to many people but this channel's is genuinely my favorite animation style

[@sonofasalesman]

I love how you animate not just the models but the exact same in-game models very cool

[@josephdrinkwater8875]

The music from the Wall-e video game especially Work Day, is absolutely fantastic.

[@rictuserectus6686]

Every video has a secret "Spot the Jerma reference" minigame and it's great

[@aortaplatinum]

HELL YEAH WALL-E PS2, bruh that game is not only a "good movie game" but a legit great game on it's own. The first person laser carving gameplay segment in the shipyard on Earth later coming back when you cut Eve out of the massive trash cube in the Axiom's dump is fantastic game design. The only problem I have with it are the unskippable cutscenes. That, and the Axiom levels really creeped me out as a kid, especially the really long Repair Ward one and the dump where you have to get parts to repair Eve. Also, holy shit that RC controller, I still have that programmable WALL-E in my closet.

[@Kipyena]

[@alekrhoton6407]

Seeing a bunch of low-poly Pixar characters in the thumbnail let me know I was in for a good video. Seeing Buzz' low poly face a second time fired a neuron in my brain and flooded my consciousness with forgotten memories of Toy Story platforming. Love your videos by the way. Your style is super entertaining, and I'm always interested in the video topics you choose.

[@AgentMulder120]

i love when artists decide to turn into "i like to talk about this thing" channels cause we get to see little gems of animation or art being included in the vids for jokes or just to further enhance the viewing experience. uricksaladbar also comes to mind for this. anyway i loved the little animations u made for this video

[@amayalivingston6438]

I love how you added Jerma disturbingly singing “You got a friend in me” at the beginning lmao

[@NEEDbacon]

3:16 THANK YOU thought I was going crazy or it was some editing thing. But good to know Toy Story 2 holds up even at like half time. TBH the slow down may have even helped with some sections.

[@tubguinace]

I love that you showed the controller for the remote-controlled Wall E toy when mentioning you were using a controller to play the game. That's so darn clever!

[@larrymantic2635]

I like that in the Wall-E movie, he only used a gun in self defense (to “save” Eve), and then in the game he just shoots up the place.

[@A_Wild_Kez]

Oh yeah, now this. This is beautiful. Seriously tho, this is definitely a series I can get behind. Your review style is both entertaining and rather informative, striking a nice balance that keeps you hooked. The dry humour is brilliant and your voice is incredibly engaging. Looking forward to more of these in the future :)

[@TheZeroChanel]

Man, you unlocked so many childhood memories. I only now remembered that I played half of the games you mention; I completely forgot they even existed. I feel like you can make a series out of this. In my opinion, you struck gold

[@Joblerone]

i love love love LOVE the custom controller, the bits you animated in this video are stellar and your style is not only cohesive and impeccable, but adds a layer of hyperreality that i feel really enhances your work

[@jovishark]

i love these videos so much! theyre so cohesive and well worded. the editing is so snappy and the little jokes hidden within are so welcome. your style with these is so neat!

[@TajemniczyKefir]

I didn't even know the Toy Story game was supposed to run faster... I think this made the game easier. And also HELL YEAH THE COLOR MIXING MINI-GAME 4:57! Those videos are great, can't wait for part 2! The Incredibles game is a sour memory for me. I remember reading all about it, seeing it in gameplay videos and after blackmailing my parents into buying it for me I got to hug it and keep re-reading everything on the box (it used to come in those big boxes too) on the ride home, just to later find out that there's a difference between DirectX 9.0 and DirectX 9.0c. Never got it to run and we had to refund it. But - since that incident I became very interested in how PCs work and what makes games work on them so it motivated me to keep tinkering with PCs as a child : )

[@Mr.Mousey]

i love that you animated woody falling at 5:26 almost the same way he was falling in toy story 2 when he had the nightmare after ripping his arm

[@TitaniumRaven]

The Omnidroid filter was so real for me as a kid. I STRUGGLED for weeks with that thing. I hatdky remember anything else about that game, but i do revall playing the dash and violet ball level many times. It was so fun! Thanks for the awesome video! Its very nostalgic :3

[@franciscohidalgo6589]

dude, such good memories!!! I used to play a lot of those disney games. I remember playing Monsteris Inc, Wall-e, 101 Dalmatians, Toy Story 2, Lilo and Stich, Emperors New Grove, Finding Nemo and The Lion King (these last 2 were point and click adventure center games, but man, did i love them) Such good memories, thank u

[@Dukeof702]

The second that soundtrack for toy story two started it was such nostalgia trip. And yes, I got stuck on Zurg as well...

[@papaelf420]

I love how these kinds of games always had a shop/secret menu to find bunch of concept art and other fun stuff to use during levels

[@papaelf420]

I have some recommendations: Barnyard, Over The Hedge, and Open Season

[@SquadraDiMocassini]

"Part 1" is what gets me excited the most, ngl. Man, that WALL-E game is nostalgic!

[@Rukalin]

I first played the Incredibles game at a friend's, then it got it myself. The "Zut alors!" voice line from the first level's enemies still plays in my head from time to time. And yeah, I remember that boss in the volcano being pretty challenging.

[@renaigh]

My favourite pixar scene is when Hatsune Miku explains how Fascism reinforces scarcity of resources under capitalism.

[@Kiernimbus]

It's really awesome to see your animation techniques being used to enhance your video essays with jokes and to punctuate your points. It reminds me of the Papa Meat channel in the best way. Super entertaining, can't wait for the next one.

[@sheriffzard5149]

Through these very fun video essays and they way you describe and tell them, you've somehow taken these games I have both never heard of or cared about to making me an enjoyer/appreciator of these games vicariously played through your experiences. absolutely love these retrospectives, they're so fun and hilarious! definitely a playlist of videos i'd love to just put on in the background while I work. the type of comfort food videos you just come back to every now and then to rewatch as there's just a vibe there you find enjoyable! keep up the good work dude, can't wait for more!

[@crimstrix]

I am excited to see the rating for Meet the Robinsons , Since it is not only my childhood but I played that game soooo much over and over again. I love it , you need some creativity for some boss fights and the music score is INSANE in some levels, the art direction is just as good.

Man, I'm lucky I grew up with Wall-E and two of the Incredible games (the first one and the Rise of the Underminer). You can tell it's the same devs who did these games, especially when they added that little easter egg in Wall-E where you replace the music of his music player with one of the soundtracks in Rise of the Underminer.

Toy Story 2 is absolutely one of those games everybody comes back to finish years later, because a lot of parents probably bought that game for their five year old kid thinking it would be easier. Coming back at about 14 years old and finally getting past the first couple of levels made me feel like Sam Gamgee leaving the shire

[@Foxfac3]

these videos have so much unique character. Very good stuff 👍

[@danielalonso7478]

Fun Fact: The reason the music in The Incredibles game manages to sound so stylistically similar to the film is because the film's composer, Michael Giacchino, actually composed for the game as well as its sequel, Rise of the Underminer, and the Lego Incredibles game. He actually got his start composing for video games as far back as the SNES and Genesis days before expanding to films and television.

[@masterJ2004]

He did? Makes me wonder why he didn't compose for the Cars 2 game, since he did that film too.

Seeing someone cover some of the first games I ever played on pc as a kid in 2024 blew me away. *breathes in* I FRICKIN' LOVE TOY STORY 2: BUZZ LIGHTYEAR TO THE RESCUE THE LEVES, THE MUSIC, THE SOUND EFFECTS I NEVER FINISHED THIS GAME BUT GOD DAMN EVERY TIME I COME BACK TO IT I FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN!! THE FACT WHEN YOU SCOPE YOUR LASER AND CAN SEE YOUR OWN REFLECTION AND HEAR BUZZ LIGHTYEARS BREATH?? HELLO?! IT MIGHT BE A SILLY DETAIL, BUT IT'S SO COOL. ALSO, I FELL OFF THAT GIANT ASS TREE LIKE BILLION TIMES, IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING AT POINTS I WOULD NIBBLE MY CONTROLLER, BUT I BEAT THAT BOSS EVENTUALLY AND JUMPING OFF THAT TREE AFTERWARDS WAS THE GREATES REWARD. The Wall-e videogaem was pretty fun and as you mentioned in the video, the movement is pretty smooth. The enviroments are great and the chase scenes are not half bad either. sadly, I have not finished this game either and I can only remember I stopped playing somewhere on the space ship. The Incredibles videos games is great for like the first few levels, once I reached the jungle, I had INCREDIBLE trouble finding the right path to continue the level. As a kid, I didn't watch no playthroughs of the games I played, but because of that, I dropped quite a lot of them because I got stuck on some silly thing. I have to say, the FPS trouble you encountered suprised me as I only ever played the PC versions of these games and especially for the buzz lightyear, the game just ran as fast as the PS1 port, weird! I realize this video (and the future ones perhaps) focus on PIXAR videogames, but there are some animated movie games which I would defo recommend as well, as I feel they hold quite a lot of charm to them or are atleast funi in their own way. Check out the Bear Brothers PC game and Tigger's Honey Hunt (PC/PS1)(also my first videogame on pc everrr!!!!) Not to mention the Ice Age videogames, especially Ice Age 2, which I remember the most aaaaand Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa Love your vids and can't wait to see more!!

I remember playing the Incredibles game on GBA; it was a really simplistic sidescrolling beat 'em up but I had hours of fun with it, hehe. Really memorable level was the bit where Mr. Incredible tries to escape after triggering the alarm on Syndrome's computer; you had to keep running to the right as far as you could until the little goo-shooter things completely immobilized you, and as you went you would get more and more powerups to use in the next level as a reward for your skill in evading/shaking off the goo shots lol

[@MintyVoid]

i've had a lot of fun watching this new stuff! I hope youre having fun making it all as well. look forward to more. this is a bit of a tangent and doesn't mean much, but game ratings aren't based on game difficulty- but are just like movie ratings where it's just based on the content of the game. I was also curious as to why the incredibles game would be T, when I figured it only had at worst cartoon violence, which from what i remember makes a game go to E10+. Turns out that the E10+ rating was added in 2005, a year after the game came out. And yeah the game was rated T because of cartoon violence.
