“Successful” is an understatement when describing Pixar Animation Studios. Pixar has released an unprecedented string of critically acclaimed films. The films don’t just satisfy those hard to please critics, but they are sure to keep kids of any age smiling. Matinee showings are filled with kids, but often midnight premieres are highlighted by their fair share of college students. It’s easy to get caught up in the originality of all these wonderful films and feel like a kid again, even if you came into the film with a kid of your own. The wit of Pixar movies makes them classic films in any sense, films that, unlike most animated movies, transcend the age barrier.
For more than a decade, the folks at Pixar have provided the world with the finest family entertainment. However, the label "family entertainment" has turned many people away from the Pixar brand. Too often, people say that Pixar's tales are only entertaining for children. There are also whispers that the latest Pixar film, "Wall-E," is too serious and political, but these are probably the same people who put "The Lion King" in slow motion to find hidden sexual messages.
