“In America you read about people medicating to avoid sadness. They don’t want to experience sadness… and yet it’s such a vital part of being human.”

- Pete Docter, director of Inside Out

oh

Are people really surprised that directors of pixar movies can be terrible though

I mean they’re not generally great movies outside Wall-E.

wall-e was a mess as well. I love me tiny robots in love but the horrible things it had to say about fat people, disabled people…

Pixar movies make me cry a lot and then afterwards I start to think about them and feel angry

Last night:

Mary: “My brother says I’m a monster because I don’t like Pixar movies”

Eris: “You don’t like Pixar movies? You are a monster.”

This morning:

Mary: “Eris says I’m a monster because I don’t like Pixar movies.”

Mary’s mother: “Why don’t you like Pixar movies?”

Mary: [GOES ON LONG RANT ABOUT THE GROSS OBJECTIVISM OF THE INCREDIBLES AND THE VAST FUCKED UPNESS OF HOW SID IS TREATED BY THE NARRATIVE IN TOY STORY]

Mary’s mother: “…oh.”

Okay, that was a fair point about Wall-E. I wish they had gone with their original concept, where generations in low gravity had evolved the humans into gelatinous alien-like creatures. They thought it was “too dark,” I thought it was just an awesome concept and it would have been more sensitive to boot.

Can I add how “Up” treated it as so sad and tragic for a child not to have an involved father, and how uncomfortable that is when about a third of the children watching the film have single moms? We never even learned shit about the mom in that movie, like she just didn’t matter, and the only other woman in it existed to die.
