Steve Jobs was a founder of Pixar.

They just have the magic almost impossible to define. Ratatouille is so good.
I saw this Pixar tribute video ages ago - think it's incredible! A good story in the About section on YouTube as well!
That's a brilliant video. It reminds of how good and funny some of their shorts are. The recent one though, for Inside Out - Lava - is all over the place.
I absolutely love Pixar films, in particular, the Toy Story series, as I grew up with that.
I watched Inside out last week and must say it was a really good film. Especially the advert memory haha
But I do love how they cater for the adults, with little inside jokes etc.
Weirdly though, I've never seen Finding Nemo or Wall-E, and I just never have the urge for them two. My girlfriend keeps asking if we can watch them, but I always dismiss them, and I don't know why

You really should watch them, they are brilliant films and also quite emotional in places. You'll enjoy them. Not to mention Dory is one of the funniest characters you could possibly get.I absolutely love Pixar films, in particular, the Toy Story series, as I grew up with that.

Biggest plot hole ever though...there's the blue haired annoying bint, holding these core memories that need to go back up to HQ..."Oh no, we can't get back there"
Then those 2 miner blokes are stood right next to them, and they're sending that chewing gum memory up to HQ for a giggle, by just popping it into a tube, and up it goes...
Why not do that with the core memories then, eh? Why fanny about trying to get there on a train/tightrope walking across the island things?
I just resent this film as it's cost me a fortune in tickets, and all the fecking toys that go with it...
Up, Toy Story and Monsters are probably my top three.
And the short Geri's Game. Brilliant.

Not really. It was already founded before he got involved after leaving Apple.
- In 1986, Jobs acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd. and renamed it Pixar Animation Studios. He remained CEO and majority shareholder at 50.1% until its acquisition by The Walt Disney Company on May 5, 2006.

This is what I'm reading.
Depends how we're defining it I guess, although the department he purchased had already existed for 7 years prior to his purchase. John Lasseter was the one who talked him into making Toy Story, since he was still having them churn out software. He was, though, obviously a big reason why they are so big today through his original funding and involvement, and patience throughout projects.
Pixar has denied this but even if it isn't true it still is very interesting. But your bound to have lots of links between films because they put in so many Easter eggs (which adds to the films).
Cannot wait for Incredibles 2.
Can't say I have a favorite. Cars is probably the only one I don't particularly like. But I watched that yonks ago, I'll probably find it good if I watch it again. Haven't seen Cars 2, either.
But yeah, Incredibles 2 is going to break records.

Released their render engine for free non-commercial use recently. Great fun to play around with.
I've seen most, but not Cars and Brave.
I thought Inside Out was really good - amazed to see how low it is on everyone's list!

The good Dinosaur trailer, looks like it could be similar to Wall-e with the amount of dialoge and heavy emphasis on the scenery which looks amazing, while the living beings look cartoonish. Possibly because of the fact that they shouldn't be there but for the purpouse of the film they are. Can't wait to see it!
Saw that earlier too, looks like it could be brilliant. Completely forgot this comes out this year as well!
Not that enthusiastic about this one, but given their track record, it'll probably be great.
It's an animated film about a dinosaur. How can you not be enthusiastic about that? You don't deserve that username.
I dunno, it's not so much the story that doesn't feel me with excitement, it's that trailer, it looks very... well exactly what you'd expect given the elements we know about. But then again, I hope it's not as cliché and unsurprising as I'm afraid it will be.It's an animated film about a dinosaur. How can you not be enthusiastic about that?

Yeah I get what you mean, there isn't anything there that really shouts unique. I'll probably love it anyway. In case my username doesn't give it away, I have a soft spot for dinosaurs.
Since I created this thread, I've seen the remaining 2 Pixar movies.
Thought The Good Dinosaur was a great film. 9/10
Thought Finding Dory was good, but it felt quite similar to Finding Nemo. And I'm not sure Dory is a great main character (although she is a great secondary character). Anyway, I would probably still give it an 8/10 (rounded up)

Since Disney bought Pixar money has been more important than originality. Too many sequels
Best studio there is
This is true. So many sequels now. They are making Cars 3 and Toy Story 4 now. And there's The Incredibles 2 as well. But I'm not complaining about that. The Incredibles is one of my favourite movies of all time.
Up, Wall-E and Monsters Inc. are right up there with my favourite movies of all time also. Pixar are still brilliant, they are just being forced into making sequels.
Before Disney bought them sequels were actually a thing they publically said they tried to avoid
Indeed, and The Good Dinosaur bombed despite being an ambitious original idea. I hope their seeming keenness to go with sure things doesn't stunt their creativity going forward.
Up is one of my all-time favourite films. I'd watch it every day if I could.
Inside Out is really really good, probably my favourite alongside Wall-E.
Just watched Incredibles 2, and had watched Coco a few months ago. Absolutely loved both.
