(On that note, is there a single creative bone in Pixar? I swear on top of remaking the same movie over and over again, when was the last time they came up with a plot by themselves? They didnt' even try to hide the Watchmen/Fantastic Four influences in the Incredibles and the most memorable action scene? Nicked from Star Wars.)

On the note of story, yeah, this could be applied to all animated Disney films of the past 30 years as well. It makes me wonder how grown adults can still enjoy the same basic story every summer, over and over.

It's like those god-awful sports games that come out with new rosters every year for $60.

This is a very sad statement concerning our culture, but that's the culture industry for you. Churn out the cheapest, most recycled stuff that you can that people will still gobble up like zombies until you dominate the market and control it. Disney really is the enemy of the intellectual. But I will say that Pixar can animate the fuck out of things.
Reiner: I've noticed that the Uncanny Valley doesn't really affect me. I'll be pondering that, now.

Tis very true, by and large Disney et cetera do push out the boat on animation techniques, but don't do very much in the way of writing new scripts.

Really, it is amazing to see Mr. Y's intellect analyze and tear through things to articulate the truth behind them for everyone to see, but now I'll never be able to watch one of those movies again without sneering at their repetetiveness.
And come to think about it, it's not just Pixar, DreamWorks Animation is just as bad... err... let's see... they did Antz... Shrek, Flushed Away... yup, most of their stuff that comes to mind fits into that pattern as well.
Great. Now life really does feel like Hinduism, everything's a rerun.
