nonono, that's not the case at all, my yy to WALLE before the movie came out was far more than that.
I have always felt that Pixar's Finding Nemo is an epoch-making work, in addition to technical aspects, it is more because this is probably the first time that an animation has been given a "universal" theme - to put it bluntly, adults have watched it. It will also feel enlightening and educational "meaning". The cartoon was originally aimed at children, even if it is a spoof like Shrek, it is at least entertainment-oriented, and by the way, it spreads some friendship, kindness, strength, self-confidence and so on. Justice will triumph in the end. Until Pixar, cartoons also began to have themes, some core ideas outside the traditional "truth, goodness and beauty" field.
The early Toy Story was okay, and Toy Story 2 was a little didactic. Agent Bugs still talk about growth and the courage to face their own mistakes, even for children. I really like Monster Company, it's not preachy, it's entertaining.
When it comes to Finding Nemo, wow, it's epoch-making, and it's aimed at educators and parents of children. The Incredibles is even more exaggerated, with a midlife crisis—but overall it's not a didactic, but a very entertaining one, and it's my favorite Pixar work. The racing cars that followed were my least favorite, but the theme was extraordinarily profound, nostalgic and critical of the modern way of living that only pursues speed and ignores the essence of life. Ratatouille is a chef who encourages the courage to try, and everyone can do their own life well. In fact, it is a bit vague, and I feel that the attempt to preach is still very strong, but in the film, it is diluted by the subversive image of the mouse.
So summed up, my taste is obvious, I just don't like preaching. On the carrier of movies, I personally think that it is an inferior method to use the film (the obvious one, such as the day the earth stopped turning), and it is quite normal to entertain the audience with a film (it can really be entertained), really The master of the film is light in the wind and light in the wind. After watching it, different people have different experiences, or have psychological and emotional touches, or have thought-provoking topics that cannot be answered by the film, or fully satisfy or tap the human imagination. Space----yy space, this is the main line of audio-visual art (including those classic screen images, but also the creation of completely imaginary worlds, such as sci-fi magic worlds).
Therefore, what WALLE has been looking forward to is the combination of the well-established way and the inferior way to rise to the realm of the master. The expected masterpiece, WALLE, is a robot's journey to outer space. I expect him to discover a wider world, a human colonized world that expands into outer space. Maybe he will find that he is no longer alone, maybe he will be confused that he is no longer unique, maybe It is difficult for him to fit into the new environment because he has been eliminated and maybe he has to end up alone. . . Or maybe he discovers the coexistence of humans and machines in a new world, an age of individuation, or humans on a long journey to find a new home. . . In short, I expect Pixar to surprise me, a new world that I can't imagine, not a simple romantic love story attached to the theme of environmental protection that serves human beings, has been away for so long, why are these human beings paranoid Focusing on returning to Earth, I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. . .
But on the other hand, the first half of WALLE, which I like so much, is destined for the earth to be irresistible. And the film is too short, too late to create a moving atmosphere for the audience to finally return home, which may be the real failure. Furthermore, it is a cartoon after all. The creators of Pixar are also full of childlike interest, and children's hearts cannot tolerate tragedy or such complicated imaginations. Perhaps, cartoons are destined to fail this framework.
In any case, WALLE can already be said to be epoch-making. Even in the second half, there is still a classic romance that can definitely go down in history like two people dancing together.
Pixar's next UP looks like it should be an entertainment-based adventure theme, which is also wrong.
