A documentary about the rise of Pixar. And a fairly good one at that. Illustrating all the weird little complications this production company turned Studio had trying to make their films and how would ultimately all kind of worked out for them.
With at this point no financial flocks except for maybe Bug's Life, I think it did pretty well financially, but does anybody actually want to talk about that one. I don't.
It does have a good colour palette I'll give it that.
Anyways it's a really well put together film. The information all seems to be solid and legitimate. They got a surprisingly decent amount of people to sit down and film chunks of it (though I do wonder if any of their interviews were meant for other projects). And overall it really did capture the mood of how this company turned out.
Which in a way is a little sad given at this is kind of the Highpoint of Pixar.
After this still make Wall-E (which in my opinion is their best film) and then I'll make one or two other decent movies be before they start declining into rehashing Old materials and ultimately being kind of creatively bankrupt.
Maybe I'm overreacting with that last bit, but does anybody even care that much about Pixar's material anymore?
The documentary itself is really well edited, putting in the right emotional points when it needs to and giving everything a nice solid time lapse that feels like a proper progression without coming off as a boring historical spreadsheet.
And of course the whole thing is narrated by Stacy Keach who just has a phenomenal voice.
And really what makes the documentary worth watching is that it feels accurate with the information. It's not just trying to give you a rainbow when unicorns look at the animation studio, pretending that everything worked out fine.
You get a sense of just how hard a lot of these people ended up having to work and all the hurdles they had to overcome time and time again with a lot of their problem steaming from Financial issues and a lackluster corporate overhead.
