Pixar is one of the greatest film studios of all time, but that mojo that was so present in the early days is now fading. This makes us ask the following questions; Did we need a sequel to Monsters Inc, Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Incredibles? Is Inside Out and Coco a cinematic masterpiece? Is Pixar dead?

Inside Out is not about the traditional journey where people travel miles and miles. It’s about an emotional journey that makes it the probably the most mature and deep movie I have ever seen, thus making it my favorite movie.

[@PeruvianPotato]

The plot holes take that away though

[@KyrieFortune]

"The Day of the Dead doesn't tie into the themes" ah yes, the festivity that is about reconnecting with your family and ancestry and how the living relate to the dead has nothing to do with the movie that talks about family and ancestry and how the living relate to the dead

[@luckyspurs]

It's possible to argue Coco has one theme and doesn't take risks, but to say it's themes and setting don't tie together is ridiculous isn't it. That's why it gets you so much emotionally, because it all fits, every bit of the story has come together to earn the ending. You might as well argue the opening scene of Lion King doesn't tie into the themes, which would be equally ridiculous. Also, simple doesn't mean bad. Done well, it often means good.

[@missmarshmallowqueenkate5899]

Yes! I think that while Coco definetely has plot holes, it is an amazing movie none the less. If you look at it from a surface level, Miguel is your average kid that lfollows the heros journey and follows his dreams,etc. However the point of the story is that sometimes family is more important than following your dreams and by that message, it ends up with the family accepting music.

Funny how you bring up how hard it was to animate over 400 ants on screen when the limit previous set with their budget was only 50, yet give no mention to how much work went into animating the octopus Hank for Finding Dory. If you're gonna give credit for production effort, that took a lot of passion to do.

[@mattburtless5783]

I know right? Or how hard it was to make Violet Parr's hair, The skin textures and accurate guitar playing in Coco, or in Wall-E: the protag, who's head is only a pair of binocular eyes and only speaks in gradations of "waalleee!" (and similarly for EVE), is more emotive than most other characters. I find that it is also a disservice that NitPix praises the early Pixar films for their success and how quick they put out movies without mentioning the contentious relationship between Dreamworks and Pixar.

[@lizn.s.5519]

The skeleton sidekick is Miguel's grandpa who died after Ernesto de la Cruz murdered him because he didn't want to continue with his singing career therefore leaving Ernesto without new songs to sing. This is also pertinent to the story because Héctor (Miguel's true grandfather) wanted to get back home to his daughter Coco but never did because he died. This lead to Héctor's family thinking he just persued his career and never went back home because of greed or pride... And there's so much more about this movie The problem isn't that you didn't like Coco, it is actually that you made it seem bland and lacking of a good story when actually it's an excellent movie.

[@beajack4990]

Liz N.S. Yeah but the fact that the dad constantly wrote letters to coco and then they suddenly stopped would raise suspicion. Also Ernesto got famous with the grandpas songs. And the most popular one was COCO’S SONG. So would that also raise suspicion? “Hey I haven’t heard from my dad in a while, and his music buddy is singing his songs...hmm”

Bill Murray from The Man Who Knew Too Little hmmm I must’ve missed them Because I have no idea who your responding to or what your talking about

[@OddTillTheEnd]

Okay, but I have a problem with your analysis of Monsters University. While yes, the Scare Games do ultimately teach Mike and Sulley about teamwork and self-worth and all that, it's a mischaracterization to say it has an entirely generic, overdone message. Mike wants to be scary. But he isn't. At the end of the film, he's forced to accept that. There's no kid's film BS about how "he tried really hard and achieved his dream despite the obstacles in his way." No. Mike is slapped in the face with the cruel reality that he has to settle for something else. And make do with it. I think that's a really interesting, subversive message. Plus, I think it's just a fun movie. I don't watch college movies, ever, so the tropes don't wear me out as much as other people, which probably has something to do with my opinion on it. Is it as good as Monsters Inc? Of course not. But don't write it off entirely.

[@msnmpn7]

OddTillTheEnd I think it also has to do with the fact that Monsters University is a prequel to Monsters, Inc. People seem to not care about HOW something is done when it comes to movies. The Infinity War characters that died are obviously coming back so some people feel like they can't care about the ending as much because we know they're coming back. The whole point of the next Avengers movie is how they get brought back, how the survivors deal with those deaths, and what they then have to sacrifice in order to undo what Thanos has done, but people don't seem to care about that. We know from Monsters, Inc. that Mike and Sulley are best friends and that Sulley is the one who goes through the doors to scare children while Mike has all the strategies planned out. When Monsters University positions them as enemies with Mike wanting to scare instead of strategize it forces us to look at the story from a different angle. The question of the movie then becomes "how do we get there from here?" but that is for some reason an uninteresting question to a lot of people.

[@Hyperion5566]

Subversion is interesting?

[@OddTillTheEnd]

msnmpn 7 I agree. In regards to Infinity War, the feeling is definitely there that the ending doesn't matter. It would be more of a bold choice to have the villain win if we weren't so completely sure he will be defeated in part two. However, there's something to be said about the shock value of seeing mainstream beloved hero characters get turned into dust while their friends look on in horror. It's a pretty depressing way to end a movie, regardless of how things turn out in the future. I think you're right that "how" is an uninteresting question for MU, especially when it's the only question. You can, however, argue that James Bond films are so predictable that they are also devoid of most questions except "how". Same with Scooby-Doo. So how can they get away with that? I think the answer is that both of those are long series where the core engagement is "how". If you're not on board with "how", then you'll just avoid them. Since the original Monsters Inc. explores so many other questions, a film that only explores "how" seems much more shallow.

[@OddTillTheEnd]

Bionicelcor Yes. I think subversion is inherently interesting, at the very least, because by its very nature it has to both be different and provide commentary on what came before. If you don't think that's interesting, then we simply disagree.

[@Hyperion5566]

OddTillTheEnd Commentary or just a reference? There really is no commentary in previous instantaneous deconstruction. If subversion is done well, with the addition of other narrative devices it has the opportunity to say something, but that’s not the case for it alone and for its most recent executions in media.

[@fyukfy2366]

"No monstrous qualities at all" *shows building filled with fake teeth and spikes just like in the original*

[@NSGrendel]

Yeah, but it's toned WAY down.

[@qepdqepd5612]

NSGrendel subtlety isn’t an art? I came back to this video after a rewatch of Monster’s University and I agree that the worldbuilding is better in the original and that the monster designs here are made more generic (probably bc there’s such a greater number of them? Idk).... but I don’t get the point of how adding monster spikes to everything makes Inc better. Do humans put human ears over everything? Different door sizes? Good worldbuilding. Random spikes??? I really like that building in MU that he showed bc it looks like what a university building might look like in their world. The architecture is very similar to ours, but in a world focused on being scary, it makes sense to incorporate some spikes but in a subtle way. Couldn’t you say the same thing about Mike’s car? Sure I guess. And there’s lots of times MU takes the generic road... the trash food is pretty lame... but I mean is the bad smelling deodorant in the original too different a joke? Idk. My main issue with this video and not just this part of it is how it down plays nuances to make a point. How is an environmental message in Wall•E more of a risk than centering the message around a real world culture of a non white people in Coco? Does he know that the “generic” paper in the opening is part of Mexican culture as well? Idk... it’s like I agree with most of his points but he comes across as so ignorant as he’s making them bc of the way he presents them. And showing a frame of a building with monster designs in an argument about lack of monster designs is just such a perfectly ironic way to demonstrate this lack of nuanced thinking.

I think you ripped into Inside Out and Coco our of nostalgia. That fact that Coco follows a simple three act structure isn’t really a criticism. It’s just an observation that it has something in common with most movies, ever. The original Toy Story and the Pixar movies that followed it also played into tropes and cliches. The conflict between Woody and Buzz is a classic new-guy-in-town situation that’s been done many times before. You also don’t give Coco credit for the amount of creative visual style and flair, or for the fantastic music. La Llorona is a great song that is used as a powerful storytelling device. Without words, a huge change in her character is indicated as soon as she starts singing on the stage. It’s things like these, the creative ways that animated films communicate story, that you praise the earlier films for yet ignore for the new ones. I agree that Pixar’s filmography has become rife with sequels everywhere, but the ones that aren’t sequels are still excellent.

I actually really liked Monsters University. I thought the message it sent was unusual and important, that sometimes you just don't have the skills required to follow your dreams, and you need to do something different. And sometimes things go wrong and you have to pay your dues and work hard to take a different path to success. It's very subversive to the typical "happily ever after" and "you can do anything" message we normally get in kid films. I'm actually really disappointed more people aren't talking about this. As an adult who has had things go wrong and had to take alternative paths to success, that recognition meant a lot to me. Also, as someone who has worked extensively with people with cognitive disabilities, I found Finding Dory more compelling than Finding Nemo, because it showed how having a disability can in fact be a real problem, not just played for laughs, and how important it is to have a support group. I think people are too judgemental of these films.

[@jeromealday614]

I didn't knew Monster University pushed a subversive message like that. But I liked it better than "you can do anything if you believe in yourself" bs.

[@bloody_outlaw8000]

you lost me at finding dory is better than finding Nemo..maybe it means more to you but there is no way its a great sequel.. although i do agree that monsters university is really underrated

[@dragongirl7978]

@@bloody_outlaw8000 I didn't say it was better, I said I found it more compelling. Same with Frozen 2 recently. I tend to be a little more subjective about my media... Like I can appreciate the technical prowess of a movie or whatever, But the thing that really impacts me is the message. Finding Nemo was undoubtedly an excellent movie and I enjoyed it, and I don't think I have the objectivity to compare it with Finding Dory as far as which makes a "better movie." But the message of Finding Nemo was pretty basic, about parents needing to learn to stop being overprotective, etc. But when have we EVER seen a kids' movie where a character struggles with a mental disability? Because I don't know about you, but Finding Dory was the first I've seen, and they handled it with so much dignity and compassion, it just meant so much to me.

[@MissFlow]

I just made a similair comment like this but you beat me to it! The movie shows that NO you CAN'T always do what you dream of, tough shit but you have to find a way to deal with it. It's oke, go find something else, there is a lot in the world and you are meant for something, just... not what you initially dreamed of! Also, the movie teaches a parallel moral to this: you can have ALL the talent in the world, but without hard work and a lazy cocky attitude that talent is useless.

[@guythatdosethingssometimes2651]

For me atleast a compelling lesson or theme dosent really matter when almost everything else was mostly boring and stale. A somewhat compelling massage dosent save a movie on it's own Atleast not for me.

[@pixigrl26]

I finally got around to watching Coco last night (for some reason when it was first out it just didn’t look all that interesting to me), and i have to respectfully disagree with you about it being just for “little little babies” and not for adults at all. The themes in Coco can very much translate to adults, we have all lost someone, we have all been scared of being forgotten after we die. Those ARE NOT childhood themes, so I think you need to maybe rethink what you consider “little little baby” movies.

[@nascour5991]

[@elijahbachrach6579]

I think death and loss are fantastic themes to explore. I would have loved to meet all kinds of interesting characters and dangers in the land of the dead. Each new encounter could teach our protagonist important lessons that all come together in the final act. Leave out the guitar and the shallow villain, focus on the afterworld adventures and loss and you’d have a more focused movie.

[@antoniomendes7961]

The problem isn't that the movie has "childhood" themes - all themes are themes - it's that the way these themes are explored is very poor and derivative. When people say "X" movie is made for kids, they aren't saying the lessons in the movie aren't valuable to everyone, or that . They're saying that "X" movie is so poorly put together that it can only fully be enjoyed by kid, who doesn't have their brain fully formed yet. Does this mean you can't enjoy a "kids movie"? No of course not. There could be many reasons why. People mature at different rates. Very few people ever end up developing good taste for particular media (let alone decent), so cheap, manipulative clichés don't get them so easily. Maybe you recently experienced loss so you were very biased towards really resonating with Coco. That doesn't distract away from that it could be a poorly told story.

[@andrewkful]

... Toy Story 3 DOES have a character arc. Woody at the beginning thinks the key to happiness is staying with Andy or else they'll all face either being neglected or destroyed, and through the film he realizes that you should let go of what you're used to because the world changes and you should instead find the next happy moment unless you want to wind up like Lotso who only cared about one single kid.

[@joaco101097]

I was agreeing with this video almost 100% until you reached Coco... Coco is a VERY powerful film that wouldn't even begin to be understood by "little little babies". My four year old cousin loved the songs and the colors, but he didn't even begin to grasp why his mother and I were bawling our eyes out when Mama Coco began to sing. My own grandmother had Alzheimer's and had recently passed away when I watched Coco. This film hit extremely close to home and became a more powerful movie than what A Bug's Life will ever be, even given my 20 years old as I watched a "film for little little babies". I think you're being the one driven by nostalgia and the reason why member movies exist, because whenever they innovate and do things RIGHT like Inside Out or especially Coco, someone comes and says "But Toy Story... And Monsters Inc.... And Up..." I love all of those movies but I still allow myself to love some of these new Pixar films as well. I don't think Pixar is dead, I think some people are way too fond of their past and nostalgia and unwilling to accept that a new film might have the same or more meaning than one of the classics. Coco deals with such deep, complex and mature themes that Toy Story, A Bug's Life and Monsters Inc. don't even get close to. If you ask me, death and remembrance of those who are no longer with us is much more mature theme than accepting who you are (as important as the latter might be). And you criticize Coco's villain for being "overly melodramatic"... That was the whole point of it. I now question how skilled you actually are at judging movies that you didn't grow up with.

I agreed with all of your points until you got to Coco. I’m also fed up with the amount of sequels and “member-movies”, but I must give credit where it’s due. Despite its narrative structure being somewhat formulaic I still really like Coco for its characters, music, art direction and emotions. I feel this video would sit better if you used “I” statements rather than “you” statements. Because as it stands, I feel you’re trying to pass your opinion off as objective fact. And while I mostly agreed with your points I don’t think this is a good way to argue them.

I really can't get behind this, like of course cars 2, the good dinosaur, and brave sucked, but a lot of his points just show a blatant misunderstanding of storytelling and movies in general. His only criticisms of inside out that he expands upon are that the headquarters are designed in a boring way and that everything is literal, but anyone who watched that movie can tell you that 1) the design of the headquarters hardly matters, 2) the entire movie is stuffed with metaphor on metaphor of so many themes, story details, and representations of human psychology. He also claims that inside out isn't successful because the world design makes it so the audience doesn't know where the characters are so it makes it hard for them to believe the hardship of the journey they've been on but like, that's not true at all. Once again, anyone who watched the movie and actually paid attention can easily tell you that all the locations can be seen and tracked in a way that's easy to follow, but in all honesty that doesn't really matter, because that's not the point of the movie. It's not a literal journey like taking the ring to Mordor, it's a thematic journey to learn about the importance of sadness and negative emotions. His critique of Coco makes even less sense because it's not a critique, he just lays out the story structure in a very literal way without actually explaining why he thinks these things are bad. The only critiques he expands upon in Coco is that the family hating music because they believed Hector walked out on them to pursue a career in music is unbelievable and stupid, which is a subjective take but at least one that makes sense. But he also talks about how it never feels like Miguel was ever in any trouble or learned any lesson but, the movie isn't about Miguel learning a lesson, it's about the importance of familial support and familial relationships, and this lesson is leaned through Miguel's family. I know this sounds like a butt-hurt nostalgia ridden crybaby whining because someone made a video online calling a movie bad but the reason I'm commenting at all is because he never actually explains the problem with most of these movies, and when he does it makes so sense. I actually wanna try and see where he's coming from to test my own vision of how I see these movies but Everytime I think of what he's saying it makes less and less sense each time. If anyone would care to try and explain his points in a different way or maybe more clearly that would be a big help.

[@AVdE10000]

Nah, I'm 100% with you. I actually agree with quite a lot in this video, but his critique on Inside Out and especially Coco don't make any sense. He's basically saying that Coco is bad because it's the same story as Ratatouille but without any subplots and more lollygagging (what?), and he fails to address any issues in the older Pixar films. While they're all still amazing, they aren't all flawless. Espacially Up, in which he acknowledges the amazing opening but conveniently ignores the rest of the film, which actually is just a bunch of lollygagging and wacky hijinks. Even though he brings up valid points, it really comes off as just "hurr, everything was better back in my day".

@@AVdE10000 Coco isn’t even super similar to ratatouille, other than it deals with the main characters families disapproving of their passions. But Remy’s father disapproved of it because they were RATS in human society, the concept of a rat being a chef does admittedly sound ridiculous after all. Miguel’s family disapproved of music due to Hector leaving Imelda and Coco to be a musician, and Imelda’s hatred was passed down through the following three generations of her family.

Coco has an incredibly different message than what you think. Miguel, in the end, is willing to give up his dream for his family. He goes through the character arc where he sees family as more important. He does get to play music but that is only because Imelda has a character arc where she accepts that music should be allowed in the family. Not only this, but when you say Miguel has no personality, I completely disagree. He is one of the Pixar characters that I’ll remember and he is absolutely hilarious.

[@PassiveSmoking]

In other words, the moral is "Let your family crush all the soul and spirit out of you"? That's a pretty shitty moral.

[@joshl4225]

Not really. Miguel learns a lesson that family is important and although he valued it before, after his journey he learns to value it even more. His family don't 'crush all the soul and spirit out of him,' he just learns their reasons for why they hate music (granted it is a pretty stupid reason)and learns to accept that family comes first sometimes.

I guess you could argue that Rapunzel learns to value Flynn but I don't see how that relates to learning that family is important. Also it's not 'painted over with Mexican culture.' The day of the dead makes the perfect setting for a film about learning the importance of family because the whole point of the 'ofrenda's' (the family trees) are about remembering family and what they did to get you into the position you are now.

I think that generally, the quality of Pixar's work has decreased but I certainly don't think that's the case for Coco and Inside Out. If you applied the same level of overly critical analysis to Pixar's previous work, you would be able to find just as many flaws that we now overlook. Both of those movies are as competent as any example of Pixar's previous work that you hold in such high regard. I think that nostalgia has made you incredibly bias.

[@NitroIndigo]

I'd like to see people criticise early Pixar, since popular opinion seems to be "a lineup of sacred cows and Cars, and also A Bug's Life exists, I guess." I find genuine, analytical criticism entertaining, regardless of my opinion of the thing being criticised. The problem with "state of Pixar" video essays is that they all hit the same beats: "Pixar used to make great movies, Cars is a thing that exists, they made more great movies, then Cars 2 came along and ruined everything." I won't argue that Cars 2 isn't a bad movie, even if it is a guilty pleasure of mine and my reasons for disliking the film are slightly different to everyone else's, but once you've seen one video essay, you've seen them all.

I just found Coco to be so boring. The plot was extremely predictable with a story we've seen a dozen times before. I couldn't fathom the family's motivations either. It would have been much more interesting if the family had actually had some real objection to Coco's dream. There could have been real tension between Coco's desires and his family's traditions and values. As it was written the family is just obviously wrong in a way no family ever would be and you're just waiting the whole film for their minds to change.

Yeah, what everyone else is saying. Spot on analysis until you get to Inside Out and Coco. I've never seen a film so simply and yet completely portray a visual understanding of depression as Inside Out, which I have dealt with most of my life. That movie had me bawling from epiphanies and self-analysis. And Coco had me crying too, and I'm not Mexican. I only mention that to highlight that I definitely don't identify with the themes of family (which many Mexican commenters have pointed out is a fundamental misunderstanding in your analysis). Most of my family kiiiinda sucks and I'm pretty happy that they're not really in my life anymore. But damned if I didn't identify with the themes of finding a way to express yourself in a world that won't let you. I know you kinda just have to take my word for it on this, but I do not cry at movies easily. It takes a lot. Mostly it takes careful and nuanced writing, and thorough and consistent world building. Honestly, Inside Out and Coco kick the shit out of a couple of the first 10. Now a lot of that comes down to opinion. But one thing seems to be consistent among your commenters, and I agree with it, is this; Those two aren't as good as A Bug's Life? Are you fucking high?

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for your depression and your family situation... I hope you can solve both! 💖 As for the latter, however, Coco also shows how the family is the most important thing, as it's necessary to understand and forgive, because anyone can make mistakes, but a second chance isn't denied to anyone... obviously I don't allow myself to to judge, because I don't know you, I don't know your story, I don't know if you and/or other members of your family have tried to be reunited, but I can tell you that, in the end, what you have left is affection and love of the people you care about most, and maybe now you say you are glad you don't have your family around anymore, but maybe one day, you will change your mind... for this I would advise you to try talking to us, to clarify, pulling everything out with tranquility, maybe even trying to make them understand how important the family is, I would even recommend seeing this movie (never that it could help them, never hurts to try)... obviously mine is just a suggestion (if I can, I try to help anyone the most possible), which you can clearly follow or not, because in any case the choice is yours and I'm nobody to you 😉👍 I add that what you told me struck me a lot, also because I'm very sensitive when it comes to certain topics, like this one, for example, and I can tell you that living with certain weights in, in the long run, instead of making you grow, they destroy you (personal experiences) 💔 Then I repeat: The choice is yours and yours alone, of course 😊💜

[@kassyyar97]

Have to disagree with you on Coco, the world inside the movie is deeply inspired by Mexico (I am mexican) and our culture, its not just THERE because it can. Long explanation on mexican culture ahead: The place where Miguel and their family live is inspired by the town Mitla, Oaxaca, where zapotecans believed it was the land of the dead, there even is a temple in honor of the god of death in there. Ernesto lives in a palace, similar to Palacio de Bellas artes in Mexico city, rich in color and full of detailed symbols. The world of the dead is inspired by Guanajuato and its endless, spiraling streets. A city rich in color and artistry. Connected to the living world by a path of flowers petals (Xempasuchil) which are used in the day of the dead to guide spirits back home. The world of the dead exists since centuries ago, the mayans believe that cenotes (the place where Miguel is thrown into) is the path to the death realm. Where does Miguel and Hector get thrown into? a Cenote, and their family alebrije saves them! That alebrije has the main shape of a Jaguar. Jaguars were believed to be the only ones able to pass to the living and death world freely, thanks to the mayan god Balam, which is a JAGUAR. But I guess this all is just "another pretty place to run in." Mexico is infinitely rich in culture and it always angers me that people just see my country at face value and believe the only cute place to go to is Cancun. I will always be grateful towards Lee Unkrich and the team dedicated into the movie for portraying my country so beautifully.

grim the reaper, did you even read my post? Why would I see him in black and white if I only have trouble seeing green? That condition would be called Achromatopsia, and it is extremely rare. It really isn't even known if they see truly in black and white. The way the eye works, it would make more sense if they can see only different shades of either red, green, or blue. To see in genuine black and white would likely be caused by a neurological issue rather than a physical problem with the eye. My condition is deuteranomaly, an inability (or reduced sensitivity) to see green light. I can still detect green a little bit. So only very strong greens I can see as a distinct color. It is fairly hard to describe this accurately. I see color the way I've always seen it. The only reason I know that I can't see green very well is because that's what the eye doctor told me. But anyways, to answer your question, I recognize Mike as yellow. I've been told he is actually a yellow-green color. I do not see even the slightest hint of green in him, not at all.

Had I seen it age 10 maybe I wouldn't be so harsh, but having watched it for the first time when I was in my early 20s, it really didn't hold up as anything special. It's basically a story we've seen a million times, with characters and arcs seen a million times. It's also probably a rip off of a French comic book called Pierrot the Clownfish. I don't begrudge anybody for having a special relationship with it, but I also don't begrudge someone that grew up on Coco or Finding Dory for having a special relationship with those movies. Pixar make very well made, entertaining, mass appeal movies. I don't think the new ones are as bad as people make them out to be (I'd put Inside out as arguably their best film) and I don't think the old ones are as amazing as people make them out to be (I do not understand the love for Monsters Inc. for example).

[@TheCinemaMonologues]

Claudia Tejero-Rios I grew up with Toy Story but never watched any of the other Pixar films until I was in my 20s. It gave me a strange perspective compared to most people who saw them as kids. As expected I have a real reverence for Toy Story and yet have no love for any of the other Pixar movies of that era. Is Toy Story really heads and shoulders above A Bug's Life or do I just love Toy Story because I watched it a million times on VHS ? I actually find to whole 2007-2010 period to be Pixar's best in terms of Quality, and I would hold Inside Out as one of their finest work even though it's late era Pixar.

It's like you did your best to find reasons for calling the movies bad, rather than genuinely believing them to be uninspired or poorly thought out.

[@caldw615]

CoCo is better in certain regards like the actual visuals and improved animation quality, as well as having a unique soundtrack. However in terms of story beats it repeats the same elements of Ratatouille but with far less engaging characters overall, which is primarily what he was focussing on. From a story perspective Ratatouille does what CoCo was trying to tell but better, it doesn't mean it blows CoCo out the water in every aspect of a movie but for narattive Ratatouille holds up a bit better.

I love how you bashed Coco yet didn't even touch upon how boring and lackluster A Bug's Life was plot-wise. It performed well, and at the time it was technologically mindblowing, as you said, but I bet that if you asked anyone who saw it the names of 4 characters from that film they wouldn't be able to tell you. You really shouldn't be giving free passes to the older movies just because they're from an era of generally good films. A common flaw with cartoon reviewers these days is that they don't take off their nostalgia lenses before reviewing, and you're falling into that exact trap. As someone who's been watching cartoon reviewers for the past eight years, I really hope you consider this feedback, because I do think you have potential to stand out from all the other manchildren on this site.

[@winnetouch]

I was thinking the same thing. Coco is BY MILES better then a Bug's life yet A Bugs life got a free pass. Coco is an amazing movie. But like someone said before me. Any movie's plot will seem dumb or uninteresting if you strip away the context. Miguel's journey is much more important that that of Remi for instance. What does Remi have to loose? The restaurant shuts down, Remi and Linguini move on. Miguel doesn't succeed... The whole family keeps on hating on Hector, he disappears in the afterlife and Miguel is dead. I'd say his journey is far more epic than Remi's. Also the scenery in COCO is amazing I don't care what you say.

[@justinstewart9145]

@ Katie G, "but I bet that if you asked anyone who saw it the names of 4 characters from that film they wouldn't be able to tell you." Four characters are Hopper, Dot, Flick, and Thumper (and I was able to tell you that *without* doing any research and having last seen the movie years ago). A Bugs Life may not be the most memorable, but I'd still put it leagues above The Good Dinosaur. A Bug's Life at least has an interesting and menacing villain. Hopper is a bully, but he's not one-dimensional. He loves power and being in control, but he realizes how powerful his enemies truly are, and exercises caution in wanting to keep the ants in line (realizing that an ant had stood up to him *months* ago, wanting to kill the queen to further put the ants in their place, etc). Also, there are plenty of other good cartoon reviewers on this site: hotdiggedydemon, alphajayshow, Rebel Taxi, PieGuyrRulz, Shadow Streak, Animat (who even with some of his flaws he's been learning), etc, all take off their nostalgia goggles and review things fairly.

[@classyassmothafucka8890]

First of all... older movies don't necessarily get free passes... but new mediums really do. There's a lot to dislike about the Wizard of Oz, for instance. A Bug's Life, however, wasn't a boring movie in any way. Sure it's skeleton... the outcast that returns to save the villiage... has a crush on a girl out of his league and gets the girl... makes interesting new fellow outcast friends who help him on his journey, blah blah blah... yeah. It's been done. However, most pop songs use the same 4 chords. It's not really any different. The outcast to hero arc is a VERY popular arc for protagonists. Get over it. The voice acting was tremendous. The world development was an absolute game changer (the technology didn't exist up to then to have real tactile looking objects that are so clear in quality that you can show their function without telling. For instance, the part where water droplets were served at the bar... they didn't have to tell you what it was. They showed you what looked to be a bartender serve it, and it showed the texture and jiggly physics of it, and it showed the insects injesting it. Only somewhat possible in cartoon form. THAT is what the CGI medium was most fascinated with in the old days. Scaling down. Scaling up. Creating world specific technology and appliances, etc... CGI was a way to immerse people into a new world physics without limits, and Bug's life was GREAT at that... as opposed to the heap of garbage nobody seems to remember called "Antz" which was bland, uncanny, and quite frankly a day late and more than a dollar short in terms of execution. So yeah... A Bug's Life... maybe you didn't personally like it... I personally didn't like Space-Balls... but that's simple unappreciation of the merits of the movie. In my case, I'm not a big sci-fi fan... don't like Star Wars... or Trek... so a parody of this genre just doesn't appeal to me, but I can see where it's a good movie. Well, if you don't like traditional hero arc based stories that focus on designing worlds over story... too bad for you. Don't watch Bug's life. But generic story lines are ideal for family movies (because children watch them) Using a generic storyline is only really sinful if you aren't considering the audience, or if the movie purports to be cerebral in nature. Bug's life isn't a cerebral story. It's an immersive adventure story. Get over it.

[@winnetouch]

Yeah but it's a classic in your mind because you watched it 300 times. Some other kid is going to have the same argument about coco in about 20 years. Just because you watched it as a kid doesn't really make it a masterpiece.

So watching Finding Dory also as an adult, I can claim I am watching it without a child's nostalgic bias. However, no matter how much I wanted to like Finding Dory, it can't hold a candle to the finesse and care to attention as the original created. So I believe the point holds regardless of the age the person was when they originally watched it.

[@scarman1998]

I actually thought the set design of Monsters University was really well thought out, in fact that is one of the reasons why I think it's in the same league as the standalone films in terms of originality and value. You say the university has no monsterous qualities at all, then show a picture of a building where the arch over the entrance looks like a gaping mouth with sharp teeth, there are spikes on the dome, and statues of monsters at the sides of the stairs. Same with the bus. I think they did a very good job in taking the feel of a prestigous US campus and transplanting that into the monster world. They also put effort into making the set feel like it is 10 years before Monsters Inc, technology, such as the door stations are bulkier and look more primitive. And rejuvenating a character who is essentially an eyeball to different stages is not easy, but they nailed it. I also don't understand why you are dismissing the story like that, I think the main arch was Mike Wasowski learning and accepting that just because you want something a lot and work really hard for it doesn't mean you are meant to have it, which is actually quite the opposite of the message conveyed by most mainstream college films about underdogs like Mike.

This movie became the biggest movie in México in 2017, everybody went to see it more then once when it was in theaters, even some people that don't go to the movies a lot went to see this movie, and when a movie like that can impact a country, I can only say that this will be another PIXAR classic.

No. It wasn't even on a Monsters Inc. level. Pixar did with Coco what every Disney has been doing for the last 20 years and that is pushing out a plethora of foreign related films. Not to say there is anything wrong with that, but it seems forced. It only makes it relatable to people that are familiar with that culture. Instead of shoving it down your throat and saying this is what we do here in Mexico, I want to see some depth. Engage me. I want to see how does Mexico fit into the Pixar universe, not the other way around. I didn't feel that with Coco.

I felt like a kid again watching Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, and etc. I’d probably even put it in my top 5 Pixar movies, which is saying a lot. Though your points are valid about the story telling and the story arc, I believe this was necessary. They were not only telling the story of Joy and Sadness, but of Riley as well. Fitting in two different stories that work with one another is a very hard thing to accomplish, which Pixar did (ofc they did, they’re Pixar). I genuinely felt a connection with Riley and the characters and left the theater very satisfied, which had not happened in a very long time.

Mmmm...Idk, some of these points seemed like double standards. For example, you complain about Inside Out not having a rich enough world, but then you complain about Coco not being as good as Ratatouille despite it having much more distinct visual storytelling. It also takes a much different look at the concept since the family does actually have an understandable reason for their resentment toward the main character's passion, while Remy's family is boring and forgettable. The villain in Ratatouille is also trash, while the villain in Coco is genuinely surprising and threatening. You can make any film sound better or worse if you focus on very specific elements, but to someone who's seen all these movies, you sound biased. It seems like you like older Pixar because that's what you grew up with and you just don't like Coco and Inside Out as much because they're newer. You really think Toy Story is a far more mature story than either of those? It's a fantastic movie, don't get me wrong, but calling Coco and Inside Out "baby movies" in comparison to Toy Story of all things. Also, you didn't have any criticism for A Bug's Life? Really? What deep nuances did you see in that film that made it a classic that's far more memorable than anything from new Pixar? I mean, it's fine if you like it, but that film is very forgettable. Let's be honest, people don't talk about that movie like they do Toy Story or Finding Nemo. There's a reason it's one of the movies that hasn't gotten a sequel. It also seems weird how Disney's meddling was a good thing when it gave us the Toy Story everyone knows and loves, but it's a bad thing once sequels are involved. You're entitled to your opinion, but this script sounds a lot like some old man complaining that "things were better back in my day!" It's like your nostalgia makes you more forgiving of films you grew up with, so you don't criticize A Bug's Life, but now that you're an adult, you can criticize Coco and Inside Out all you want and claim Pixar is dead. I know I'm just repeating myself, but I wanna make sure that I'm being clear. I'm not accusing you of being a nostalgia junkie. I'm just saying that's what this script sounds like. I'd recommend making sure your points are more balanced in the future so you can better argue your case.

It kind of hurts to see so much hate going against movies in general. No matter how boring or unoriginal they may seem, movies like these still have so much effort put into them. But even excluding the amount of effort these movies show, they truly can only be appreciated by the people who watch them. By complaining about movies that we, as an audience, haven't seen or are unsure off, we are easily influenced and are purged from their enjoyment and are framed to only see them in a cynical light. I understand where NitPix is coming from, but he is not a licensed movie rating professional. And these are only his strong opinions which are highly focused on his own opinions of the movies. But even though his opinions are not fact, his warped perception of these movies can have a huge impact on his viewers watching this.

Miguel is a child. Joy is a child. Forky is a child. Mator & Dory definitely act like children. Mike & Sully are almost children at this point. Throughout Pixar's 2nd run, Pixar has LITERALLY been kidified! I've been trying to figure this out for years. Why did Pixar's early films feel so different from their modern ones? There has to be hundreds of individual factors, right? But this one is a legitimate, intentional trend that covers the whole spectrum of output! What made Pixar initially so special was that they were able to make films that appealed to children as they watched through the eyes of adult protagonists. For 99% of Disney, Laika, Ghibli, Bluth, etc., their films star much younger characters that the kids can easily relate to. But with Pixar's original run, it required additional contemplation on the audience's part to truly understand the emotional significance of the plot. I can't believe I finally figured this one out!

I agreed with just about 90% of this video, and even as someone that loves Inside Out, I understand the Inside Out criticism but man, you dug way too hard into Coco, and for the first time in one of your videos you were completely hypocritical Nearly all of the issues you pointed out in Coco are present throughout the rest of Pixar’s library (such as Coco retreading a familiar story structure) and the rest were just nitpicking to such an unholy degree it came back around to being genuinely impressive And, as many have pointed out, you failed to bring up the great things that both Inside Out and Coco did, passing over them to further drive in the completely backwards and click-bait-y idea that “pIXaR Is DyINg” I love the first 10 or so Pixar films, but at least I’m able to take off my nostalgia glasses and see that they had flaws just like these new ones do I’ll take a dozen Coco’s and Inside Out’s over another sequel...or the Good Dinosaur You’ve officially lived up to your name, old friend

[@ManixDash]

Ice Age, *_SHREKKKKK_* and Kung Fu Panda

[@Whiprealgood]

all great movies! none of them by pixar though

[@MellowisDead]

Also, almost every Cars character is a real car. Besides McQueen. He is just a highly customized Mustang.

[@theharvardyard2356]

"So, Brad Bird comes out with The Good Dinosaur" I completely lost my shit. Well done.

[@spongyoshi]

I mostly agree about the sequel shenanigans. Bunch of the rest comes across as nostalgia bias tho. Also, it's near impossible for Pixar now to "stretch the limits of 3D Animation" since this technology has been massively improved in those years. And if you wanna talk about storytelling.. well, Inside Out on itself is such an simple idea that I had no idea they could stretch it out for a full-length movie... but they nailed it and it makes for a very creative & cult movie imo!

[@spongyoshi]

Well, that's your opinion.

And then ToyStory 4 will kill all faith in the franchise.

Marvel has become pixar, the level of consistency in the MCU is astonishing

[@hamzaal-khairulla3182]

I'm kinda predicting the future but I think the MCU is gonna flop (execution wise) in the next decade cause u can't have success after success there has to be this 3 year failure with one outstanding movie.

[@lexingtonbrython1897]

Just 5 seconds of the intro to UP and yep, I still feel it.

[@gustaffovershield5428]

25:07 - Coco takes a lot of risk; it explores the concept of ‘death,’ and more imperatively, it presupposes a specific type of after-life in a way that I’m surprised the devoutly religious didn’t have an issue with. It also gave a relatively detailed analysis of Mexican culture, in one of the most racially divided times - when someone is willing to jump on you for getting the slightest thing wrong, or making something that could be deemed as a ‘stereotype.’ When I actually think about it, in terms of the films philosophical concepts that it explores, I consider it the riskiest film that they’ve ever made, especially with the ending. It wasn’t a technological risk mind you, and maybe that was your point, but I don’t see why that’s necessary. Also, the film implies everyone will eventually die into nothingness when they are forgotten. The plot then ends up centering around a character not meeting this fate, and they have to ensure that a dementia-stricken, dying grandma doesn’t forget her own father. That’s pretty heavy, if you ask me.

[@loopyslop]

I mean it was a technological risk too, the amount of rendered lights and level of detail put into the background took complete rebuilding of their software, the lighting in the film compared to what our technology was currently able to pull off at the time was something that took a lot of effort to restructure. The difference is Pixar has the money to invest in tech research now compared to when we couldnt fit more than 50 ants in a shot but still it was intentionally pushing new bounds for what can be done in animation. Taking a Digital Lighting for Animation course we talked about what had to be done to get the effect Coco presented and a large amount of the 7 million plus lights placed in each shot of the Underworld scenes were hand placed, all to stay true to the vision of the Mexican graveyards during the day of the dead

[@coraedwards]

I totally agree, I feel he didn't go very deep into Coco's culture and meaning just to prove his point

[@PugnaciousProductions]

Gustaff Overshield ITS DISNEY

[@josie3057]

It’s obvious he doesn’t understand the culture of coco! Perhaps the film was too colorful. Also, he doesn’t understand that the one thing the Latino kids are scared of is their grandma or mom with a sandal.

[@feraflauna3238]

+Gustaff Overshield-Coco is simply not a good movie. Most of the Mexican culture stuff is unapologetically and insufferably pandering, the story is overly cliched, the design is lazy and overly childish, and most of the family are rotten and absolutely despicable assholes. Rather than being patient and trying to tell her grandson why she doesn't want him to be a guitar player again. . .the grandma yanks it away from him and proceeds to smash it right in front of him. What the actual fuck? Once the kid goes into the afterlife, everything is basically one giant misunderstanding where if the family just sat down and talked to the kid, explained who his great-great-grandfather actually was, a lot of these situations could've been avoided. And also, the family is so angry with the great-great-grandfather over a mistake he has repeatedly tried to right, that they are perfectly okay with allowing him to completely fade away from all of existence. 0_0. This movie was insufferable. . .up until the second half when. . .something happened. Right after it was established that the spirits can cease to exist entirely if someone forgets them. . .The movie actually got a lot better. The characters were way less pandering cliches and far more fleshed out individuals. And I don't think that was entirely coincidence-this movie had two directors. One of which was Lee Unkrich, and he was the idiot who tried to copyright the title "Day of the Dead,' a traditional Mexican holiday. (Yup, Disney will slap merchandise and property on everything, even an established holiday. . .) The other was Adrian Molina, and since Lee Ukrinch was reported to have stepped down from Coco in order to work further on Toy Story 4. . .it's pretty clear Molina took over the movie in the second half. . .I have never seen a movie where it's pretty clear just where a different director steps in and takes over. . .and actually makes it better. There is definitely a clear point in the movie where it gets significantly better. . . I'm sure people might be confused and insist, "Well Fera. . .you said the movie eventually gets a lot better. Doesn't that mean it was still a good movie in the end?" Well. . .no. I said it got significantly better in the second half. I never said it got great. The second half is only an indicator of what the movie always should've been throughout the ENTIRE thing. Unfortunately, Molina couldn't completely salvage the massive storytelling problems that largely pervaded the first half and were still not entirely fixed after he took over-The great-great grandmother and the grandmother are still assholes and pure scum. And of course, they have an elaborate chase in the afterlife to retrieve the great-great grandfather's picture, only for it turn out. . .Coco had her father's picture the entire time!?!?!? Wow-not only is that cliched, that is just lazy. . . Make no mistake-this movie was intended to be as safe and as pandering as possible. If Unkrich was completely left to his own devices, that's all it would've ever been. I am pleased that it got better in the second half-that is usually not something I ever see where a movie does get significantly better later on-but that still doesn't make it a good movie at the end of the day. It should've been a good movie, deserved to be a great one, and it very nearly succeeded later on-Unfortunately, when a soulless husk of a corporation wants to weasel and pander to a "minority" and a white director is smug in believing he knows better with Mexican culture. . .than the actual Mexican filmmaker working on the film. . .there's only so much you can do. It tried, it really did, and I'm glad to say there is some heart left in there. . .it's just not enough. . .

[@trashypenguinnnm1485]

12:03 right when he says there's no monstrous quality, we see monster teeth on the school.

[@tgguitarguy]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@proton8689]

I'm going to be honest, I noticed that too.

[@ladymeme9078]

i think its important to keep making quality films even if they are for "babies". If you're continually fed shitty content as a kid, you're conditioned to choose shitty content as an adult. One of the greatest things about Pixar is they don't underestimate their audience. For this reason I agree with you about how unnecessary sequels like "Monsters University" were. However, its weird that you would praise "A Bugs Life" for pushing animation boundaries but ignore the stunning animation and use of lights in Coco. And tbh Coco is a more interesting story.
