A casual poll of opinions on Pixar. I'm mixed myself. Iceage2 lacked scope in the story but I love thier shorts and most of their movies.
 
i wont go into each movie, but i love them as well. Ice Age 2 wasnt worth purchase, but i dont purchase anything actually :P Netflix
 
Haven't seen a pixar flick in a while actually... though I'm sure I'll see many as the kid(s) get older....

Personally, I thought Pixar was pretty revolutionary in terms of animation. I've always 'respected' their animation more as well b/c they actually animate all the facial expressions rather than using mapping techniques like Dreamworks uses for example. Though Shrek was goreous... I just respect the fact that the facial animations are not motion captured.

They are and have been for some time the leaders in modern animation and are to me the benchmark outside of indie creative pursuits. Last I heard was 12 Academy awards not including shorts films and I think that was 2 years ago.

Their story telling and directors of photography are worthy of those awards.
And 20 years in the biz.
 
They were from Dreamworks Animation..

Pixar films are fantastic! My faves are Toy Story 2, The Incredibles, and Monster's INC.
 
Pixar gives the people what they want and it works for the kids and for the adults. When a seven year old (my nephew) and an adult (me!) can laugh at the same scene - even though it's for different reasons - it's family magic.
 
Blue Sky Productions, 20th Century Fox...okay there are some details here.
(Jeesh, can't get anything buy you guys). Obviously the animators and such are related. Let me dig a little further, I'm sure Renderman and all of those guys are buddies and stuff. Anyways, not to get into a big tech thing, lets throw in Dreamworks and the rest of their buddies.

My favorites are also the same as Brandons. And may I add Scrat with the nut is a tru star.
 
Bug's Life is good... feels a little like a departure from the normal Pixar format... but it works... Flick and Hopper... good times. hehe
 
no. Pixar was owned by Disney for a while though.

Dreamworks Animation is part of Dreamworks which is the company Speilberg started up.,. Now owned by..... one of the big companies... Can't remember who.

Later,

Ahhhh. I'll have to pay more attention. I thought somehow it was all and the same. The characters looking so similar and all. Now I'll have to go back track and re-examine those movies and see where the diferrences are.
Shows how much I thought I knew :) <--humbled face.
-Thanks.
