For the Pixar fan only

This General Discussion is getting boring so I start on something that everyone would go to.

Pixar is one of the best computer animating studios ever in years. I've been a fan of the company ever since Toy Story was released at theaters. I've seen all the movies and short films so far. Are you all ready for Finding Nemo?

Their good, but i think Square Studios is just a tad better with their graphics .

I loved Toy story one though. I think they also did A Bugs Life? That was cool.

I might see Finding Nemo, but only for the surfer turtle in it .

Pixar isn't about the graphics. It's about the amazing stories and lovable characters that they create. Which is more than Square can say about their abomination of a movie. I don't think I've seen anything Pixar created that isn't good.

Yeah, i totally agree there, but you have to admit those graphics were great.

I really like Pixar too. My friend got to meet one of the people on their animation team at his art class (the teacher knew him before he got started in Pixar) and said he was really cool. He even brought in the character model for Woody and made him act like a monkey .

Anyone know what Pixar's next movie is gonna be?

Pixar is incredible!!!!!!!! How can you say they aren't good with graphics!!?!??!

I know a bit about 3d animation and rendering. And the amount of detail and the quality of the picture of Pixar films is outstanding, but their main and most impressive quality is the facial features and emotions that they are able to show! Seriously in that respect ILM and Square don't even hold a candle to pixar.

Finding Nemo is going to be awesome, and yes, the surfer turtle is the best thing ever!!!!

That movie was NOT final fantasy. Biggest disappointment EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEER! ERR!!
No magic? No summons? No swords or suped up weapons, just guns? What kinda sick joke is this?!
Pixar also did Shrek, and anyone who didn't like Shrek can choke on a tic tac.

Pixar did NOT do shrek that was the dreamworks people

if pixar did work on it the lil lamp would have been in the beginning

and shrek 2 is gonna RAWK!


and finding nemo is pixar's last attempt because supposedly toy story 2 and monsters. inc weren't that big of hits and disnet is considering letting them go if finding nemo is a flop

so everybody.....go see finding nemo atleast 12 times

Pixar had to have been involved in it.. I swear I remember Mike Myers saying it was Pixar animated at the MTV Movie Awards.

Like, totally.

Is it just me, or does he seem REALLY inspired from Mikey? I could really see him with an orange bandana (red for the Mirage people)

I'm not saying that Pixar's graphics weren't good, I'm just saying that from a relistic stand point Squares were better. Pixar whoops their asses with the animation though. they should work together some time... Square could make the base graphics and story, and Pixar could do the animation and character development... They could also do the quality controll and advertising

Actually I'm pretty sure both Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc. were really big. Monsters Inc. in particular. That was a truly awesome movie. Even though Pixar is very very good my favorite 3d animation movie is actually Ice Age. I love that movie. Anyone heard about the first R rated 3d movie? It's being made by the same guy who created Family Guy. His name escapes me for the moment, but if that movie is anything close to Family Guy humor it will be awesome.

First off I like to know what this Square Studio is and if you mean Square Soft i would know what your talking about. But Pixar's animation is one of a kind. Even my uncle is impressed by their ideas.

Whoops! Sorry dude! I posted just a few seconds after you did!

I wouldn't be suprised at all if the surfer turtle was based on Mikey, in fact I bet there will be one or two TMNT refrences in there, like a well placed "Cowabunga"

I just got back from the movies and when I start a topic that says Pixar Fans only I mean people who do love the Films and never say that there not good. So those of you who think other studios are better than Pixar than leave I don't want to here "But it Su-cks". Well on with what I think of the previous and new one.

Toy Story: 1995 rate: 4 stars
A Bug's Life: 1998 rate: 4 1/2 stars
Toy Story 2: 1999: 5 stars
Monsters Inc.: 2001: 5 stars
Finding Nemo: 2003: 5 stars
Next new film coming in 2004, I know what it's called but I'm not telling.

I love what the new film: Finding Nemo was made. The ocean scenes were great and I love the detail on Sydney, Australia. Those of you who have seen it would agree with me that it's a really great family movie that every one would love to see.
