No. Joe Ranft was the real heart of Pixar. Once he died and the remaining napkin stories from '94 ran out, it was over for the studio basically.
In the late 2000s Lasseter left the studio to its own devices to work at Walt Disney Animation. When he came back he made Cars 2, an objectively bad movie he was 100% responsible for. He also executive meddled with movies like Brave and The Good Dinosaur.
Now he's at Skydance Animation and all he's shown for his contribution is Luck, which was mediocre shit. Spellbound will probably be shit too. He's a has-been with too much baggage attached.
This. Lasseter is cringe af even aside from being a huggy man-child that makes everyone around him uncomfortable. The best thing he ever did was get Studio Ghibli movies over here.
It's not bait.
In Coco the titular character has almost no presence in the movie and her only role is to get easy tears from the audience at the very end.
Inside Out is plain stupid, the plot falls apart when you think about it for 2 minutes.
Both movies fall into "feel, not think" category. If you resist the massive tearjerking, they have little to offer.
All in all, very mediocre movies.
A bunch of those Golden Age films were basically animated remakes of '80s films and several of them were fantastic short films padded out to be feature length.
The 2010's were a way worse era for Pixar dawg. I much rather have creative movies that don't completely hit the mark then soulless corporate dog shit.
It's really weird how Millenials try to claim that any of the first few movies Pixar made were any good. Bug's Life is a shitty """""parody""""" of Seven Samurai, The Incredibles is problematic as fuck, Cars exists only to sell toys, Ratatouille is about how it's okay for minority voices to be suppressed, and Up only has one good sequence and it is at the very beginning.
Pixar's real golden age was between Brave and Coco.
Honestly, I like Monsters University more than Monsters Inc. Also, I'd lump in Up with the decline and move Toy Story 3 to the Golden Age since Toy Story 3 wrapped up the series pretty much perfectly while Up's biggest claim to fame is that it's trying to make you cry in the first 15 minutes and nobody talks about the rest of the film outside of that.
Toy Story 3 is better than Up. The emotional manipulation in TS3 is more effective because you know and care for those characters more. Also, Lotso and his Sunnyside henchmen >>> Muntz and his dogs.
It would be funny if 20 years from now on they become an animated porn studio to keep themselves alive.
You joke about it now, but another 20 years, that end up becoming a reality.
>It would be funny if 20 years from now on they become an animated porn studio

IDEAL!

Bring back Lasseter, he was the heart of Pixar.
Nah I disagree, he sucks and he made cars
The first Cars was alright, not the best. Two and Three was shit though.
Lasseter is much like the city of Detroit. Famous for making Cars, and bankrupt (in John's case, morally)
His latest movie at his new studio bombed. His touch is gone.
This. Dude brought in billions of dollars for Disney regularly, he should be allowed to grope as many of his female employees as he wants

You mean if I even dare touch an employe in the shoulder with my shoulder it can be considered sexual harassment?
He was reaching up women's skirts anon.

Honestly, I don't care. The last time I enjoyed one of its movies was with Luca.
It's time to let go of Pixar...

Nice bait but no one's falling for it.

You had one job.

I thought Soul was neat.
The 2010's were a way worse era for Pixar dawg. I much rather have creative movies that don't completely hit the mark then soulless corporate dog shit.
They're in the same position as WDAS back in the aughts, Pixar needs its Tangled.
Onward and Luca were decent. Soul was great. Pixar's just having more misses than hits these days.
Based. Soul is kino and it's sad no one talks about it.
I still like Pixar but I really do miss Ratzenberger.
what happen with Ratzenberger?
Contract issues.
Nothing really. He just hasn't done work at Pixar for a while.
He's a Republican
He moved to Skydance with Lassiter

Pixar died when they stopped doing John Ratzenburger voice cameos.
And no, I don’t expect him to return in Elemental either.
toy story 3 was their last good film btqh, it all went downhill with cars 2
All of Pete Docter's films are great so if we get another picture from him this decade I'd be happy

Soul was great, felt like a classic Pixar movie
>Toy Story 3 in the decline
It started from Cars 2/Brave
Pixar has some good talent in them still, but they're definitely on the decline in the story department.
Ratatouille was the last good one. They've been in decline for 16 years.
I would argue that it was Wall-E. Up was definitely the first film in the decline. After 15 minutes of kino it's a pretty generic movie.
Toy Story 3 is better than Up. The emotional manipulation in TS3 is more effective because you know and care for those characters more. Also, Lotso and his Sunnyside henchmen >>> Muntz and his dogs.
>Toy Story Bad
>so eager to show everyone he didn't see any of those movies he put on the list a movie that didn't even came out yet
gay.
