All of Pixar’s iconic films are inspired from small ideas drawn from aspects of everyday life. One of the most prominent inspirations was channeled into the film Finding Nemo. Andrew Stanton, a high ranking director and producer for Pixar, used his memories of a fish tank in a dentist’s office from his childhood as half of the story in Finding Nemo. Stanton’s sympathy for the fish and being an overprotective father served as the other half of the basic story and together the two memories formed the emotional anchor for the film. Another idea that spawned from a staff member helped create the unforgettable and heartfelt film Toy Story. John Lasseter, the chief creative officer of Pixar, owned many rare and collectible toys, and became nervous whenever his kids wanted to play with them. However, the real message, Lasseter realized, is just because a toy is signed by Tom Hanks, it does not mean that it is sentenced to life on a shelf. Channeling that type of thinking into all of the toys in Toy Story is what makes the film so cherished and more easily relatable. Another popular film is The Incredibles, which is Pixar’s tribute to pop mythology, comic books, and spy movies. The other inspiration for this movie deals with an average, everyday family life: the fear, anxiety, work, and insecurities that happen throughout a day. Combining the two aspects make for a very interesting, action-packed film, while also being very sincere and family-friendly. Pixar films were not all inspired from personal experience and passion. A documentary about the Rainforest Mountains in Venezuela made by Adrian Warren was the inspiration behind the movie Up. Inspiration can come from anywhere, and Pixar proves that anything can be ex...

His work in modern media was revolutionary. Moreover, he broadened communication and made it easier to learn about new cultures. Disney’s movies play a vital role in children’s development and their productivity when they enter the “real world”.

Toy Story is the groundbreaking 1995 motion picture developed by Disney and Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. The film was so revolutionary not only because it was the first feature length animation to be created completely by CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) but also, also the film was more rounded in all respects. The characters not only looked more sophisticated and three-dimensional but their personalities were also more human and fewer cartoons like. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. The film uses characters and imagery very cleverly to portray this theme. The music used in the film is also different to other Disney features. Rather than the characters bursting into song themselves as in Aladdin or Hercules, the songs are played and sung by an outside person (Randy Newman) and reflect the mood and emotions of the characters in a particular scene. For example, the title sequence song “Friend in Me”, when Woody and Andy are playing together, and the scene where Andy’s room has been made over to a Buzz Lightyear theme, “Strange Things” where the song reflects Woody’s confusion and fear not only about the change in his surroundings but also the change in his friends and his own character and self-confidence. The attention to the smallest detail for example the reflections in Buzz’s visor give the film even more realism and depth. The use of unusual and imaginative camera angles, made possible by the use of CGI, also adds to the texture and pace of the film.
This isn't a movie you could ever label, it's not a movie you could ever judge by its cover. Beneath that rough exterior is a movie that reaches out to you, and shows you what is true and shows you what is real. This movie you could say is dark, you could say it's enlightening, but I hate to label something that passes beyond typical labels. Most movies have some background or history in another, but this movie holds no bases, it's a pure story of truth. This is not a movie you've seen before, not a type of movie you'll probably ever see again, and not a type of movie that you'll watch ever again. Yes I said it, you'll watch it once, and that'll be it. The movie is so much like life that it comes and goes through yours, and once its gone, you realize that you've got one in front of you.

This movie is perfect for the fans for the first film and for the viewer that have not seen the original. Pixar (Latest movie: Inside out) has risen the bar for all animated movies once again.

In the new sequel you able to see Dory’s freckles and the ridges of Marlin’s anemone.
Initially, Carl clings to the memory of his deceased wife Ellie, which causes him to live in complete solidarity with a new, very pessimistic view on life. Director, Pete Docter, uses the bright colors of Carl and Ellie’s lifelong house in comparison to the dark and chaotic construction site surrounding them to show this isolation (00:13:36). The dreary gray tones used in this specific scene in the Film show the stark difference between the vibrancy of the house and the turmoil and uncertainty of reality. Not only does the director use color to demonstrate Carl's feelings, but also various other cinematic techniques. Carl’s “square” personality and apparent disregard for others feelings can be shown with the use of shapes and dialogue. When

The unique animation style plays an important role in making UPA so popular at that time. Tired of the same Mickey Mouse gags, people love McBoing Boing and Mr. Magoo. UPA’s style is completely different from Disney’s. UPA did not use talking animals, but use human beings instead. In Disney’s shorts, there are always talking animals and the gags in Disney are used over and over again.
The man, the dreamer, the artist, the creator, producer, the pioneer, and the developer; Walt Disney accomplished building his own empire along with his legacy that continues to grow every day. Every individual has a story about what drives them to be the person they are today and will be tomorrow. Personally, I love his impressive movies and alluring theme parks. Walt Disney has played an integral part of my family’s life. In fact, my daughter became engaged at the end of Main Street, in a fairy-tale moment in front of the enchanted Cinderella’s Castle, in the Magic Kingdom theme park for her birthday over the holidays. Just about everyone has some knowledge of Walt Disney’s incredible endeavors. However, how many people can say that they have knowledge of the man Disney was before creating Mickey Mouse and what follows?
