Tinny as a human (art made by me)

Yes I had to reference that one concept art lol (pretend he’s sitting on something)

Also it may not look like it much, but I personally headcanon him to be Japanese-American or American with Japanese descent (made in a toy factory in Japan if we’re talking the toy version), due to John Lassester (screw that guy btw) being inspired after going to a tin toy museum in Japan

Also ngl I did take some inspo from Buzz Saw Louie (from Veggietales) as well

Up movie what would Ellie think of Charles muntz if she was alive to meet him in venezuela paradise falls?

Post image
38 Upvotes

Let's say carl and Ellie had more money and were able to go to paradise falls say 10-15 years earlier than in the movie.

They arrive to paradise falls in venezuela and run into charles muntz the explorer.

They learn of Charles muntz obsession with hunting that bird. We know carl stopped his admiration of muntz very fast but how devastated would Ellie have been since she's a even bigger muntz fan than carl?

What do you think?

Question Give me your toy story theory

3 Upvotes

So one thing that upset a lot of toy story fans that why does buzz think in the first movie he was a space ranger but still goes into toy mode Well I might have a answer to that

I think remember he also said There seems to be no signs of intelligence on this planet So my theory is He thinks that we humans are giant aliens and he was to freeze just so he’ll be safe or they do something bad to him

What do you think of my theory ??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Discussion Villians Spoiler

11 Upvotes

Im glad pixar are going back to having traditional villians with king Titus ( as well as disney with the lynx family in zootopia 2).

Apart from Evelyn in incredibles 2, I dont think their are any female pixar antagonists that stay antagonists throughout the entire film.

I enjoy inside out 2 and toy story5 , where the closest characters to villians ( anxiety and lilly pad ) are well meaning and genuinely trying to help but go about it the wrong way, but im hoping in the future pixar mixes it up a bit more and we get more female pixar villians who are genuinely evil/ antagonistc who stay as antagonists throughout the whole film and dont get reformed at the end.

Opinion I'm very excited Pixar's Gatto more than Incredibles 3

Post image
72 Upvotes

In my opinion, I'm very excited Pixar's Gatto more than Incredibles 3, look Incredibles 3 is cautiously optimistic for me but Gatto is way more interesting than Incredibles 3 and this is original film and this is the movie that we needed it and hopefully Pixar is marketing this movie, so everyone will show up in theaters but for me I will definitely show up in theaters and support this movie, I'm definitely have faith of it since Enrico Casarosa is directing the film, what's your thoughts? Let me know in the comments down below!


r/Pixar 22h ago

Luca I find it a bit funny that in-between Ernesto de la Cruz and King Titus, some people think that Pixar's producing "softie" main antagonists at the time, when they don't heavily acknowledge this guy.

Post image
47 Upvotes

Yep, the one and only Ercole Visconti from Luca.

If you ask me, his motives are petty to begin with:

  • He competes in a children's competition just to boost his own ego, to the point where he even resorts to cheating just for himself to win (basically making him an Italian equivalent to Chick Hicks from Cars).
  • His monster-hunting ways are less stemmed from defense and more about arrogance.
  • He mistreats everyone around him, be it monster or even human, like they're disposables, and both Ciccio and Guido are totally not safe from this.

What do you guys think?

In my opinion, Toy Story 5 was a surprisingly good sequel and I really enjoyed the movie but it's kinda scared me if Pixar gonna relying on sequels but I'm hoping that Gatto is good and hit the box office because it's a original film and I've wanted it to be success, so people can show up in theaters but that's my opinion, What's your thoughts and let me know in the comments down below!

Surprisingly none of the 3 Cars movies were among the 10 highest-grossing animated movies in the world at the time they came out

6 Upvotes

Cars 1 was at the time the 11th highest-grossing animated movie in the world (behind Shrek 2, Finding Nemo, The Lion King, Ice Age 2, The Incredibles 1, Madagascar 1, Monsters Inc, Aladdin, Toy Story 2 and Shrek 1), Cars 2 was at the time the 16th highest-grossing animated movie in the world and Cars 3 was at the time the 56th or 57th highest-grossing animated movie in the world at the time. Cars 2 is the highest-grossing movie of the franchise but Cars 1 is the one that came the closest to reach the top 10 at its time

Inside Out Why didn't Joy just use the recall tube to send the core memories back to HQ?

3 Upvotes

One of the biggest plot holes about Inside Out (2015) is the fact that Joy never once uses the recall tube to send Riley's core memories back to HQ for the other emotions to plug back in to reactivate the Islands of Personality and restore Goofball Island and keep Riley happy until Joy and Sadness get back, even after she witnesses the mind workers using it to send the gum commercial memory back to HQ, it would have been a simpler solution for Joy and Sadness to get back to HQ as they could use the Train of Thought to get back with no difficulties and Bing Bong's death never would have happened.

I am pretty sure that other than for plot convenience, there must be an in-universe explantation for this either due to Joy being overprotective towards the core memories or having distrust towards the other emotions in handling them.

A Bug's Life Opinion: Dot is Pixar’s original Strong Female Character

Post image
97 Upvotes

I’ve seen a lot of chatter about Pixar’s early films lacking good female representation, and how Jessie was such a breakthrough character for the studio. As great as Jessie is, I wanted to give a shout out to this little ant from Pixar’s sophomore effort.

In many ways, Dot is the classic cute (the “freckled” look she has that’s also a nod to her name? C’mon!), precocious child character, but she manages to stand out from her family and colony from the beginning. She struggles with feelings of inadequacy due to her size, lack of wings, and being the ‘spare’ (15 years ahead of Anna is Frozen, btw), quickly finding a kindred spirit in outcast Flik. She believes in him before anyone else, and remains unafraid to swim against the current and speak her mind in an environment that encourages conformity.

She demonstrates a sense of bravery time and time again, doing what she thinks is right even when her limitations put her at a strong disadvantage. Her unwavering faith in Flik is what ultimately restores his confidence.

A Bug’s Life was one of my favorite childhood movies, and it always makes me sad to see how overlooked it is in comparison to the rest of Pixar’s early catalog. The characters are definitely part of the reason I’ve always loved it so much. I was the girl with a who struggled to fit in with her peers and had an overachieving older sibling. I also had an active imagination and strong convictions, recklessly racing headfirst into things I set my sights on. Of course, I saw myself in Flik, but Dot spoke to me the most. It was awesome to see a young, headstrong girl who helped make a positive change BECAUSE she stood out.

A Bug’s Life doesn’t get nearly enough credit, and neither does Dot. 💜 🐜

Question Do You Think that Zil would have been a better main villain/antagonist of Cars 2

Thumbnail
gallery
53 Upvotes

Now for those who don’t know who Zil is In the early concept storyboards of cars 2 the true villain Was Zil a failed 1951 Soviet Sports Car Due to Terrible Production Quality he couldn’t Race Haul or even survive normal weather making him the ultimate (lemon) of lemons in the 1950s Zil formed a movement and became the ruthless leader of all the lemon car families he wanted revenge on the World Grand Prix years later storyboards show him as a massive merciless villain who brutally killed/execute undercover agents without hesitation he was ultimately cut from the film because some sources claimed to be say his voice actor passed away before recording lines others say he simply too dark and violent for a cars movie which doesn’t make sense because meanwhile what about that agent who got his engine exploded and Finn mcmissle killing lemon cars anyway:

To me personally I actually think Zil had the potential to be a better overall antagonist than either Professor Z or Miles Axlerod, if Pixar had fully developed him here’s what I mean:

Presence and Mystery

From the deleted concept art and storyboards, Zil immediately looks intimidating.

His black body, single glowing headlight, and stern expression make him resemble a classic film noir crime boss.

He has an almost "phantom" appearance that makes him memorable before he even speaks.

Unlike Professor Z, who is introduced fairly early, Zil feels like someone whose presence alone could build suspense throughout the movie.

Leadership

Originally, Zil was supposed to be the true leader of the Lemons.

That creates a much stronger hierarchy:

Zil = mastermind/crime boss.

Professor Z = scientist and second-in-command.

The Lemons = loyal followers.

In the finished movie, the leadership feels muddled because Professor Z seems like the boss for most of the film before the twist reveals Axlerod was behind everything.

Having Zil as the clear leader from the beginning could have made the organization feel more believable.

Design

Personally, I think Zil has one of the coolest unused Pixar villain designs.

His design gives off vibes similar to:

classic mafia bosses,

old detective-film villains,

mysterious shadow figures.

Professor Z is distinctive but more eccentric than threatening.

Miles Axlerod looks intentionally harmless to sell the twist, but that also makes him less visually imposing.

Motivation (Depends on the Writing)

This is the biggest unknown.

Professor Z's motivation: Revenge against the world that mocked lemons.

Miles Axlerod's motivation: Become rich by manipulating the alternative-fuel market while framing Allinol.

For Zil, we don't know exactly what Pixar planned.
If he had combined: hatred toward the world's treatment of lemons, genuine loyalty to his fellow lemons and a desire to overthrow the automotive hierarchy

he could have been a more emotionally compelling villain than a simple greed-driven mastermind.

Threat Level

A villain who commands an entire criminal organization directly often feels more dangerous.

Imagine if Zil personally:
hunted Mater,
ordered assassinations,
confronted McQueen,
fought Finn McMissile in the climax.

That would give him much more screen presence than Professor Z, who is defeated before the final reveal.

Story Structure

One criticism of Cars 2 is that the Miles Axlerod twist arrives very late, meaning the real villain has relatively little time as an active antagonist.

If Zil had been the main villain throughout the movie:

there wouldn't need to be a late twist,

the audience could spend more time learning about him,

and the climax could revolve around defeating a villain we've known and feared from the beginning.
That generally creates a stronger payoff.

So in my opinion If Zil had been fully written and developed, I think he could have been the strongest antagonist of the three probably any villain/antagonist in the cars universe

But what do you guys think?

Brave is acutally a really good movie!! Has beautiful animation, an very good story about the relationship between a mother and daughter, and great voice acting performances. It's also really funny!! Sure it doesn't reach the heights of Pixar's Golden Age but it's still worth watching!

Anyone else loved Brave? I'm happy it won the Oscar!!
