If Pixar’s latest offering suggested that Fire and Water can mix, the same can’t be…
In a city where fire, water, land, and air residents live together, a fiery young woman and a go-with-the-flow guy discover how much they have in common.
Lightyear may not offer the same emotional depth or richness as other Pixar titles, but it knows it never needed to be that.
Is it selfish for adults to demand more from children’s entertainment? Adults have access to a wealth of different mediums of entertainment to enjoy, so should we crave animated films, mostly intended for a younger audience, to cater towards adult audiences? Indicators of these include dealing with deeper and darker themes, adult-only jokes/pop culture references and generally being an entertaining film that doesn’t go for the lowest common denominator.
Someday, I wish to see a movie about dinosaurs that can move people like the original Jurassic Park. For many of us 90s kids, we were all in awe of the idea that creatures this large once ruled the planet. Now, most of us are kind of jaded but that shouldn’t stop you from watching this upcoming film from Disney Pixar.
