So why is it that Pixar are a step above the rest in the animated film world?
I personally believe it's the ideas that the people behind the making of it have. They think outside the box. The films include adult material and child material, which give the films a more underline meaning than some cheap kid cartoon. From the research and feedback i have, it seems to me that people enjoy Pixars comedy and the way in which they present events we see in our everyday life. Another thing i have noticed is the main charcters used in the films are simple creatures and things. I mean, A Rat, A Robot, Toys, Bugs, Cars, Fish! If you described to someone that there was a 2 hour movie about Bugs they would probably avoid it like the Plague, but in Pixars case, they turn it into something amazing! So i ask you, why is it that Pixar are so good at what they do? What makes them THE BEST!?

Heyy :)
I found this article with Bend it Like Beckham's director Gurinder Chadha.
Quote from the article is:
'One of the head guys at Disney categorically said to me, "We don't want to make children's films any more. We want to make films that are going to appeal to all quadrants",' said Chadha. 'Hence you have films like Shrek and all the Pixar stuff, which is designed to suit everybody.'
So no more films just for kids and the "Disney magic" is just gone :( ! Even though i gotta say i do love pixar cos Toy Story just rocks :D There's a third one coming out yay ! Anywayss....

Pixar films are beautifully constructed animated films that have a universal appeal to an extremely wide demographic from the cradle to the grave. Their narratives deal with universal human issues that old and young can identify with on a plethora of levels. For me, Toy Story is iconic as it symbolically presents childhood ideals through a variety of amazing, funny, heart warming characters that touch your soul, make you laugh and indeed make you cry. The universiality of these stories is amazing and the moral tone and structure (timeless) - the stories last for generations being passed from adult to child in the same way that literary greats have been passed through generations. I love PIXAR films and now relish the opportunity to share these stories with my son.
