For the last 15 years the world has been changed a lot, the animation movie has been changed as well. I can’t remember when is the first time I go the theater to watch the first animation movie, but I do remember that the first animation movie I ever watch is Toy Story 2, I was stunned by the quality of the movie at first, especially the lighting and the animation, it is so real and nature. It was year 1999.
10 years after, I watched every single Pixar’s movie, short film and documentary movie since I watched Toy Story 2. In fact what Pixar attract me isn’t because of the quality of the animate anymore, it is more than that. What I can about Pixar is the company really love movie, they don’t treat animation movie as other studio, it is not just a cartoon; the magic be hide Pixar is the story, they can really make the Characters alive. I mean some movie is good, you can have fun during the movie, but you just forget the story right after leave the theater, but not for most Pixar movies.
In past three years , Pixar released three movies, Wall-e, UP, and Toy story 3. Three of them are not just a regular cartoon movies anymore, compare to Dreamwork, the story plot and meaning of Pixar movies are blowing Dreamwork out of the way. Sometime people questioning about what is good movie, I think good movie is make people feel they are in the characters, and the characters represent the audience, that’s how make people think it is a good movie, and Pixar crew did a terrific job on their movie and they knew what is the best to the audience, because they are one of them.
Thats why I pretty agree that technology is not destroying the art, they have to live together, work together, because what’s beauty inside the technology is get art involved into technology(look at Apple’s design, not by just outlooking). When artists get the technology they are do more, and go even further, thats why they called art challenge technology, technology inspire art.
