Pixar and Dreamworks - Fletcher - 01-23-2011
Folks, I grew up with Disney classics like Bambi and Aladdin, and I still love them to this very day.
Though would you say, that Pixar and Dreamworks are becoming the new 'Disney' classic filmmakers? I ask this because I think the shareholders got their mits into the Disney company and wanted more money, and not movie greatness.
Pixar, Toy Story, need I say more, and INSTANT classic and I love it. Dreamworks, Shrek and Megamind, to me utter classics.
Pixar is an AMAZING company, I loved Cars! They somehow seem to find the magic between adult and child, and get a slot for a 'recurrent' actor, Ham, Mardie, THINK!!:P
Disney made the 90's classics of all time, now, I think the torch goes to Pixar, and Dreamworks, they have made AWESOME films and I hope they continue!
Anyone else think so?

Eh. Kind of.
Toy Story was good. Shrek was also good.
But no children's movie will ever top The Brave Little Toaster for me.

Uh, Fletch? Even though Pixar started as G. Lucas' baby through ILM, as of the past half decade, Pixar IS Disney, so they don't have to go through all that tedious mucking about in "becoming the next" Disney
The damage is already done:P

I've not seen The Brave Little Toaster, a possible link?
EDIT: @Marburg Bah, no fair. If Pixar is a part of Disney, then someone in the story writing barracks is doing their job right?
Dare I claim 'innocence' with Dreamworks?

' Wrote:Dare I claim 'innocence' with Dreamworks?I would if I were you...however, it's too late for that now as ima drop a sonic boom 'o guilty knowledge:
Dreamworks SKG is headed by Stephen Spielberg Jeffery Katzenberg & David Geffen.
The thing is, J. Katzenberg came outta the Disney camp
Western civilization simply can never escape Walt's iron fist:crazy:

IMDB for The Brave Little Toaster
Here's one of my favorite scenes from the movie, toward the end, building up to the climax. In it, the main characters (A toaster, a lamp, a radio, a vacuum-cleaner, and an electric blanket) have found themselves in a junkyard, about to get crushed into scrap metal. Meanwhile, "The Master" (Toaster's owner) is debating with his girlfriend where to go to get new appliances for his dorm room. The TV set, who knows where Toaster is, is trying to get The Master to go to the junkyard and save Toaster & Co.
And old broken cars sing about their life and their imminent death as they are thrown one by one into the giant, evil compressor-thing.
It got somewhat morbid at points, at least as far as kids' movies go, but I grew up loving it. I recently found it again and re-watched it, and still found it very enjoyable. Granted, most of my love for it is probably just nostalgia, but I still think it was an awesome little movie.
I'm pretty sure you can find the full thing online somewhere.
