I am worried that the movie will be too stereotypical and sexist.

What are you basing this fear on? Is it simply because the lead is a young girl?

I am talking about the parents' portrayal. The dad seems stereotypically dumb and unaware, while the mom is stereotypically submissive and nurturing.

Lemme repeat what I said earlier.

The reason the parents are so stereotypical is so that the audience doesn't have to jump through any hoops to figure them out. This movie is about discovering the little girl's feelings and emotions as she does; adding in the parents to the mix is just too much to worry about.

The animation in this looks gorgeous. You can really see the emotions on the little girl's face!

Even if that is true it still feels cliche, cheap, lazy and like the filmmakers are not giving the audience enough credit to be able handle more than one developed and complex main character. Don't we expect more from Pixar than that? The little girl and the parents don't even seem like the main characters anyway since the movie seems more focused on the emotion characters.

Either way, this movie looks very generic and pretty underwhelming. Wasn't sold on the teaser trailer and I'm certainly not sold by the first full trailer. Pixar animated films seem to really be going downhill.

We all thought the same thing about Frozen and Wall-E, and Most people liked it. So hold judgment until the film comes out. Also, just because Pixar made A few movies that weren't as good as their earlier stuff does NOT mean that they're going downhill, at all. They're human beings, like the rest of us, they're entitled to make a few mistakes along the way.

Most people liking a movie does not immediately make it a good movie. I'm just saying that the movie looks very meh, in my opinion. People are allowed to make mistakes but with Pixar's already announced slate of sequels and less than a handful of original movies that don't have much information released about them it's really hard to get excited about their films anymore.

Well, different strokes, my friend. What I was trying to say is that there are bad trailers for gold movies, and vice versa. Hey, for all I know, you could be right and this movie could suck balls, but we won't know until it comes out.

Looks cute. I'll watch it when it comes out on DVD

*NinjaPug* · 06-19-2015, 03:08 PM

Fantastic movie. Definitely in the upper echelon of Pixar flicks so far. Pete Docter is the best asset Pixar has. Can't wait to see what he does next.

So damn good.

Haven't seen this yet, but it sure seems to be getting a lot of advertising lately...like, more than your average Disney or Pixar film.

I'm gonna agree with PK on this. So sick of stereotypical parent portrayals in media aimed at children.

Dad? Dumb. Mom? Under dad's thumb.

Except in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I love that movie.

*Cure* · 06-19-2015, 04:56 PM

Isn't the wife usually the more dominant one "stereotypically"?

Like "whooooa better do what your wife says! Happy wife, happy life!" and all that.

*turtlefanforever* · 06-19-2015, 05:18 PM

Going to see it next weekend.

More dominant but usually not the one calling the shots. Like, husband decides to spend money on golf clubs instead of car repairs; wife rolls her eyes. Wife if trying to counsel or correct the kids, turning to her husband for support; husband hems and haws or is not paying attention.

Stuff like that.

None of this is present in the movie. That one clip is not indicative of how the parents act in the movie at all.

Good to know! And I'm totally gonna see it anyway... I was just agreeing with PK that this trend of parent portrayal can be really irritating.

But hey, Pixar isn't just any media aimed at kids; it's pretty much the highest quality out there.

Sorry, my phone does it sometimes whenever I'm typing something. Besides, be glad I'm not typing with all capital letters.
