"Cartoons"

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Pixar’s lost its relevance.

As happens to anything bought up by the Mouse.

[RAPEMAN]

Frozen was Pixar's death nail.

[CuckTurdginson]

Yeah, a minor resurgence for Jizzney proper killed them.

There's been good Pixar movies since, and successful ones; but they lack the momentum of 1995-2010.

It's been downhill since Cars 2, accelerated by firing Lasseter.

[CuckTurdginson]

I think Cars 2 was a Lasseter idea tho.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

They were doomed the moment they started doing sequels in the first place.

[CuckTurdginson]

I'll grant Lasseter knew Toy Story pretty well. Which is why a fifth one is an awful idea.

It's been downhill since Cars 2, accelerated by firing Lasseter.

Ever since he replaced Lasseter, Pete Docter has been letting the inmates run the asylum.

The process of shaping the film got easier when, during production, John Lasseter, the former Pixar bigwig, left the studio and was replaced by Pete Docter, the soft-spoken filmmaker behind “Inside Out” and “Soul.” “(Lasseter) had great instincts but it was a little more dogmatic,” Casarosa said. “You’d feel like, I have to do this.” Casarosa found himself being more “honest” with Docter and in turn felt more supported. “Pete embraced my vibe,” he said.

Docter was also instrumental in letting Casarosa experiment with the movie’s handcrafted, almost stop-motion style, which was inspired by Aardman films and the work of Hayao Miyazaki.

Pixar continued unlearning some basic animation rules to pull off a more daring, anime-inspired 2D look for director Domee Shi’s “Turning Red,” about dorky 13-year-old Mei (Rosalie Chiang), who transforms into a giant red panda as part of her sexual awakening. This marked the second film nurtured by Docter, who, as with Casarosa, encouraged Shi to unleash her quirky sensibilities and adventurous, nostalgic reverence for hand-made stylization.

>handcrafted almost-stop-motion like Miyazaki
I swear, the Left is obsessed with claiming inspiration from Studio Ghibli. WTF.

>muh animu-inspired Turning Red
I think the word you were looking for is "CalArts".
