I don't care about the Toy Story movies. Whenever someone ranks the Pixar films, I get annoyed that any of them are so highly considered. The first movie was necessary to start the company, but I only see it as a tool for creating the best film Pixar has made to date, Ratatouille. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Seriously, I feel like it's an American thing that people like Toy Story this much.

Well I don't know what to tell you, OP. Story-wise the first movie is perfect.

>TS4 beat out Klaus for Animated Feature
Really sucks, man. Klaus was so great.

Disney employees are overrepresented among Academy voters. That’s why they win almost every year.

this weird phenomenon of story being the most important is such Western-generated concoction. Films can be about do, say, think, or be anything, but NO, there needs to be three acts, with characters that have opposing traits, and there needs to be a villain to generate conflict, etc., etc.. Basing a film's merit on "storytelling," where you need snappy dialogue and throwaway jokes, it's so one-dimensional.

I really wish I could describe it better, but the medium of film, particularly with animation, can be so much more than all this western formulaic trash they shove down film students' throats at USC or Calarts. It's a feedback loop of taking something that works for some audiences and hyping it up to maximize attention and profit. There are so many undiscovered ways of creating an engaging piece of art, there's almost no risk taking

Thank goodness the characters, atmosphere, and pretty much everything else except the dated graphics were also pretty good.

no, fuck characters, fuck films about " le human condition." someone please please please make something that's interesting for once. toy story did its job for getting Pixar on its feet and establishing new technology, but outside the technical and financial aspects, I do not care for the film one bit

>someone please please please make something that's interesting for once
A movie about talking toys was a novel idea for its time and it was executed interestingly, not sure what more do you want from a film that Toy Story doesn't have.

>not sure what more do you want from a film that Toy Story doesn't have

this ignores any film that don't follow Western/Hollywood conventional structures.

I'm also just bored, Toy Story is a good film, I'm just trying to stir trouble because I need more hobbies lmao

There are apparently two options to win that Oscar:
>Be gisnep
>Break a bunch of technical animation boundaries while also being the most iconic pop culture superhero franchise there is so that boomers don't call you pretentious and vote for gisnep instead*
(*note, also coming out in a year when gisnep only releases poorly received sequels is helpful)

This. The premise, writing, and performances are incredible. It remains a timeless movie despite the very dated effects.

Contrast that to Pixar today where the visuals are cutting edge but each film is more forgettable than the last thanks to creative blandness.

We get it. You love anime

was thinking French new wave but go ahead and project moar

>immediately jumps to anime because user doesn't know anything else outside hollyjew and Nippon hentai

Maybe because Toy Story 1 and 2 are actually really good films?
No need be a fucking contrarian

French New Wave explored the human condition too. What the actual fuck do you want?

I'm not american and I love it, but that is probably because I grew up with it so it is pretty close to me.

Anime (at least the kind that's popular in the West) is very fucking Western in storytelling. Try again.

>Klaus was so great.
What are you talking about? It was "unwatchable".

1-3
>No toy gets left behind

Well it is an American production.

A'ight. You're entitled to your opinion.

Ratatouille is great but the first Toy Story is easily Pixar's best movie. The sequels are much worse.

>doesn't like story
>doesn't like characters
It sounds like you don't actually want to watch movies?

It's because they never actually learned how to imagine or feel a story. You can't teach that shit. It's a part of growing. Trying to hammer it into kids is like paving over the wizard's rock in Multiversity. You take away the universe's secret heart.

He just wants to huff his own farts. These sorts never bring up counter-examples to actually illustrate their point, they want you to fill in the gaps for them.

you almost had me, user
