[@kavyasanthosh932]

​@@elisabettadegiovanni4704 i get that, but i don't remember there being a huge marketing push with Ellen and Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. There was definitely some of it, but keep in mind these movies ARE for kids and a general audience. I don't believe Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and are names kids would know, especially nowadays. They probably know Ellen, but maybe not as Dory until finding dory came out. But Tom Holland and Chris Pratt are superheroes and faces that kids know from the Marvel movies. Having them market the movie is another reason why it doesn't feel as Pixary to me cuz that's a more Disney thing. Idk just a thought.

[@teamrockettes]

Story style I think. 1. No big loveable goofy cast of side characters. The mom, her boyfriend, her boyfriend's police co-worker, restaurant owner, pixies, and everyone else is not as memorable as the side characters of films like Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., or Toy Story. 2. Onward is also not as funny as usual. Not as funny as Brave even. Brave has moments that nail comedic timing over it (even Wall-E, the mostly-silent film does.) 3. Age. I think Pixar tries to skew for all ages, and I'm not saying Onwards doesn't do that, but it feels like Pixar can translate big, mature ideas into stories for younger kids (let's say 8 and under) and will include jokes for those age groups. Even Brave goes to make her little brothers/dad work for the younger kids of the audience, so they have characters too. "My brother had to be my replacement dad" is a fine theme, but it was handled in more of a YA/young adult way. Pixar films tackle mature stuff too, like I said. But it uses visuals/simplicity to wrap those huge concepts into a translate-able story for kids. Wall-E talks about the end of the world because of climate change but does it in a way that a five-year old can also understand, and Coco can teach any age group about death/mourning/remembering loved ones--while my guess is Onwards is more of a 10 and up theme concept. It's not quite *as* young. I think this movie was more influenced by How to Train Your Dragon. The way they approached the quest and writing the main character reminded me of it more than any Pixar films. You can even easily picture Barley Lightfoot cracking jokes with Snotlot and Tufnut (his design is close.) And Ian and Hiccup studying fantasy books together.

FACTS

[@bluebower8237]

This whole debacle is reminding me of a documentary I watched in one of my college art classes, called "Who the %$!? is Jackson Pollock?" where a lady found a painting at a garage sale, had a friend tell her it could be worth literal MILLIONS, and then proceeded to be totally shut down and mocked and denied by many art collectors. Evn after she brought in FORENSIC SCIENTISTS to PROVE that it was 100% without a shadow of a doubt a Jackson Pollock. Their excuse? "Well it doesn't FEEL like a Pollock piece." They went on to say something along the lines of "All this 'science' can't really prove the process which an artist undergoes to truly put themselves into their work" or some absolute BS like that. The problem with "High Art" is the tendency for those who consume and critique it to become...Well, pretty damn pretentious. And I get it, Pixar IS more or less a form of "high art", at least in the animation industry. It climbed to the peak of expectations and now the wide majority of Pixar fans feel they are more or less entitled to play the part of critics. But sometimes, guys...You just gotta learn to take yourself off this pedestal and learn to enjoy a damn movie. Otherwise your cynicism could keep you from missing out on the obviously good content right in front of your face. (That being said I agree Good Dinosaur was absolute garbage, not because it didn't "feel" like a Pixar film but because it had an objectively bad story and a bad history of production Hell. Brave probably would've been much better if, y'know, Brother Bear didn't already happen years ago.)

[@Urheart4Tiny]

Pixar is pretty optimistic in most of its premises, but this one seems like a Dorkly thumbnail. “There USED to be magic, but technology ruined it.

[@stealthlock6634]

amelia Pixar has some dark themes, yeah, but their premises and morals are always optimistic. Riley grows up learning that Sadness is important. Humans return to earth and bring it back to livable conditions. Mr. Fredrickson adopts Russel and Doug and Kevin gets to stay with her babies. Coco remembers her father and he is brought back into the family, while the murderer gets his justice. Their premises are optimistic, too. They don’t start with a feeling of cynical disappointment and dry humor, but of childlike wonder. Feelings alive in your head! A robot who came to life! A house that floats using balloons! An adventure in the afterlife! This is the first movie to go like, “Once upon a time there was magic and fantasy....and then it DIED. We killed it with mortgages, boiiiiis!” The Pegasi being pests drives home the unfamiliar cynicism further.

[@amemelia]

@@stealthlock6634 but it starts with the destruction of something and THEN the good change towards the end.

They start with a problem and end with a solution/ change

[@stealthlock6634]

amelia That’s stories in general tho. Establish a world, what’s broken about that world, and then we follow the story as the world gets fixed. Conflict resolution. Every story needs a conflict. To be fair, I think Wall-E comes the closest to being as cynical as this movie. Not just the absurd, depressing trash skyscrapers, but also the blubbery humans talking on FaceTime about how bored they are. Its premise is pretty dark right away. Onward is the second Pixar movie I can think of where the conflict is not with the character (discriminated rat, grieving old man, missing son) but with the state of the entire established world. In that respect, it is VERY Pixar.

@@JuliaDelbel After all, it is directed by Pete Docter, the Inside Out director. It seems like that is his more modern theme in filmmaking.

[@gracewatson7015]

I personally think it’s because of the setting. Because we get “real world” films like Inside Out and Toy Story set in a modern world (obviously with fantasy elements) but run by humans. We also get fully fantasy worlds such as Monsters Inc. and Cars (set in anthropomorphic-type worlds with things we recognise today) not run by humans - even if they do make an appearance. With Onward it’s almost a crossover. You get this human world which is extremely modern run by not humans. In Monsters Inc., yes they had cars they drove, but they didn’t look like our own and there were just differences in our worlds but in Onward it’s very modern. The other part is that the characters from Onward are really human like. They’re not scary, but they fall in that uncanny valley class of being almost human, but not quite, which is why I think this film seems not quite Pixar-y. Rather, Dreamworks-y because of similar patterns like in Shrek. I hope yall understand what I’m saying!xoxo

It's inspired by nerdy games like Magic so yeah the niche fandom thing will probably happen regardless of quality (it'll probably still be good). :P

[@asafupps]

@@JuliaDelbel Agreed

[@malenaavalos7829]

I cried like a baby

[@asafupps]

Malena Ávalos Same T-T

[@shaunfergus2476]

Nope mostly positive.

[@viners3696]

Don’t mind me just making a personal time stamp for myself... 7:12

[@deadakus]

Fair enough

[@Kate-xo6xd]

The"sit on the trailer" is the most underrated jokes ever. (Just wish this video had a table. 😭)

[@Mr.Feather130]

I feel like the animators and character designers for onward are migrated from Dreamworks Animation (but it’s just my theory)

[@TheRealSuperRabbid]

A FILM THEORY Sorry

[@Mr.Feather130]

Josh the Super Rabbid I told you I just put a little end on my comment!

[@elliea5326]

Mr.Feather130 it’s a reference to another KZbinr

[@Mr.Feather130]

Zebras 724 yeah I know

[@sinistrecigogne]

Eeeeeh, if anybody migrated from Dreamworks I think it would be the character designers, not the animators themselves.

[@queendsheena1]

Seamus can suddenly see into the future but only by a day. At least according to random angry strangers.

[@warriorcatskid003]

As a nerd, I am HYPED. It might not feel like Pixar, but I’m here for it regardless

[@tymunster]

"Maybe Onward will be better than coco!" PFFFFFFFT

[@anna_banana7019]

I love this so much. I'm so glad someone could voice my thoughts in such a concise way

[@sweetpea2604]

Honestly I think Onwards gonna be up there with Coco here are my reasons 1. Tom Holland & Chris Pratt seem to enjoy their roles as these characters which makes me more intrigued by them 2. I LOVE fantasy movies which is one of the many reason why I love Disney and Pixar & this is 100% a fantasy film 3. Animation looks BEAUTIFUL Also I think people are a bit suspicious about this film is cuz not a lot was shown to us still, I mean we know a little bit like why the brothers are leaving, why Ian (Tom Holland) has a staff in a teaser pic & the brothers might be able to bring back their father and I bet it’s gonna be VERRY EMOTIONAL once they do it.

[@sqhvr_]

“Disney animation and Pixar animation are held by the same company” *puts hands together* Ad: Calvin Klien Me: 😂😅🤣

[@DaydreamStars]

I’m actually really looking forward to onward, and I think the concept is really cool. I think fantasy creatures in a modern world is super creative, but I think one reason it doesn’t feel like Pixar is that the fact that a pair of legs are tagging along with Ian and barley makes it feel kinda dreamworks-esque to me

[@berrygashes]

Hey Seamus! I love the new video:) Even though i haven't watched it yet......

[@cleo3228]

This the first video I've seen of you, and the split second before you spoke I genuinely thought lord bung's voice was gonna come out of your mouth

[@strangerdiys8029]

Why does everyone forget the Planes series , I mean I remember it vividly

[@osmosisjones4912]

Back 2007 i was looking at videos up coming Pixar films. And it was called The Bear& Bowels

[@bonjourphoenix7487]

Quick answer: It just doesn’t.

[@vinoveritas757]

Lee Unkrich co-directed Finding Nemo with Andrew Stanton, so it’s not surprising that he did well with TS3 and Coco. He’s also, like you said, a major player in Pixar, he’s just not at the forefront. But I’m sure we’ll see a lot more from him in the future.

[@RatOfTheWoods]

I'm hyped for Onward because of the D&D-esk vibe & the small D&D references scattered in as well because as of last year I started playing D&D & I *adore* it

[@AspienPadda]

That outro was adorable 💚 you're doing really well Seamus

[@TheFreshTrimofBelAir]

The ‘Core Four’ (or other main people) are likely working on Soul instead, considering it’s being directed by Pete Docter

[@CW56]

6:35-7:15 I would agree with that. It’s best if we believe that’s the case if we really want to.

[@chrisp.9385]

Onward: mom i just brought dad back but only half of him Onward's mom: you got the best part don't worry

[@roundaboutr7711]

I’ll never get tired of your sarcasm

[@temutemacular]

Onward: *Doesn't feel like a Pixar movie* Soul: Allow me to introduce myself.

[@fuumiku]

Seamus: According to all laws of physics, Grus shouldn’t be able to walk.

[@thelibyanplzcomeback]

Me: (reads title) This is the first thing I thought about when I saw the trailer.

[@bluecrystalclear2344]

I am pretty sure Disney bought Pixar in 2006 which is why you see the similarities between them. So basically the character are going to have about the same design as they are conjoined

[@multifandomtrash799]

When I saw this video I went "wait, onward is a Pixar film?"

[@DeeFig66]

I love how I can feel Seamus is reeeeeeeeally trying to make "the core four" become a new Pixar term. ....... ....I for one and ON BOARD. Core Four! I'll remember this! :D

[@JScars8]

Hold up... Seamus references the "Pixar Formula". Super Carlin Brother's made a video called: "The Pixar Formula". Face it Seamus, you're done

[@arthurbusterbffl4928]

Keep up with the awesome work, Seamus. Because it is awesome.

[@Pendleton115]

I haven’t felt the “Pixar Vibes” Since “Up” lol

[@wheatart4274]

A while ago I saw a video that talked about how Pixar characters are usually dealing with feeling obsolete, where Disney does more of the dream chasing, and you can really see that in Wreck-it Ralph and Toy Story and the like. (which is why Ralph feels more Pixar to me haha). So Pixar focuses on change and learning to grow with that change (Inside Out), and Disney is about chasing your dreams.

[@dr.fandom2648]

Honestly, the way the characters are designed is very similar to the way their designed in Home. Especially in the way skin and hair is textured. The same goes for the texturing of the the environment.

[@AdamsFamTCG]

NAILED it with that monopoly reference....so shallow- yet sooooo deep. You get a subscribe hit for that sir. Kudos.

[@Multi476]

I read the title and immediately thought, “wait what? This has felt the most pixar in a long time.”

[@thesmartcauldron]

HOW DARE YOU PHONE YOU DIDN’T NOTIFY ME THAT THIS VIDEO WAS RELEASED!! Also I’m so so so so so so so excited about Onward because I have a bit of a Pixar obsession... that’s why I originally subbed to your channel!

[@A_Strawberry]

It's simple, The blushing of the characters. 2/3 of mentioned films had different blushing than most, and the 3rd had weird lighting/color shading on it 3 films: *Onward *Brave *The good dinosaur

[@TheMancity76]

Hi, just here to say that Toy Story 4 is the best Pixar film.

[@SeamusGorman4]

I respect that

[@chibidoggosowoblm2543]

Seamus Gorman hey! HOW DARE YOU PLAGIARIZE A SUPERCARLIN BROTHERS VID BEFOEE YOU EVEN SAW IT SMH 😔

[@anthonykerr3509]

Them’s fighting words

[@chibidoggosowoblm2543]

AnnMarie Kerr I was joking but lol

[@quaydon]

No cap

[@seanakinskywalker2619]

My only problem was that biggest plot device of the movie from what see in the trailers is gonna be quite often used for terrible jokes like the legs thing or how Chris Pratt becomes tiny

[@cricket.b2610]

I completely agree, while it does seem like a good movie It doesn’t seem quite Pixar.

[@kaicreech7336]

That was the best apology I've ever heard.

[@JamesLawner]

For me, personally, I haven’t been over the moon with Pixar’s releases over the last couple of years, Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4 didn’t bring in the same feels like Coco did for me, and I do hope Onward is gonna bring in something good.

[@helloitsme3344]

me too

[@zoguy6988]

Video: Disney and Pixar are owned by the same parent company- Ad: Pampers. It's dumb but made me laugh at the timing of the ad. XD

[@radcircles9865]

That ALWAYS happens. It is so annoying

[@justinc.5591]

Whenever Pixar makes 2 films in the same year, one of them is bad/mediocre and one is great, so...

[@homiefoxpgn4497]

I think Onward feels the way it does because they're hiding something big from us. You have to remember that what we've seen so far is only snippets of the movie, and there's way more to come. Plus, some of the lines still have a pixar-y vibe, like "I'm going to meet Dad-?", point is, there's some distinctively Pixar things in the trailer, but not everything feels like Pixar because we don't know how it'll tie into the story yet.

[@beachballssideaccount]

The teaser was a lot funnier. The trailer was okay, but I was expecting a more exciting road trip quest thing? I'm planning on seeing this twice, so I hope it's Pixar standard.

[@shayiix]

I really liked your Pixar tier list video, could you do one with the Harry Potter books or Films?

[@appleooza1920]

It's totally because of the music and Chris pratt.

[@louloudaki_]

coco is still better but onward is honestly amazing too, i’m the little brother who’s really close with my big sister and we both play dnd so i really connected to it i am also a member of the absolute target audience for the film i’m a person that always feels what i’m supposed to feel during movies regardless of how good they are, i’m a little brother, i’m really close with my older sibling, and i play dnd

[@theFILMNERD653]

It doesn’t make that little sense because the cars killed the humans and are using them for fuel.
