This is a pretty good article on the difference between kid movies and movies that work on many different levels, but also work for kids.

See this list on UnSpun for an idea of what people think “best children’s movies” are: http://unspun.amazon.com/The-Best-Childrens-Movies-Ever/list/show/21253

I was surprised to see that Pixar movies didn’t dominate the list. However, films like The Neverending Story did – showing that the original article’s claim that movies with a storyline that works for adults does work for kids, too.

(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)Guys, A Bug’s Life was great. Looking back we forget the context this movie was released in. (Young people today watch Star Wars and don’t understand how it affected everything, there were no movie action figures before, for Heaven’s sake. Bug’s life was no star wars, but it had animated “outtakes and deleted sences”. brilliant. It isn’t Pixar’s best, but it is a good movie by any standard.

Also, I don’t think John is suggesting that Pixar is 9 for 9 and they’re all Godfather quality, but they’re all qaulity. The point is that they are consistently high quality. You throw one hundred darts you’re bound to be on target occasionally, but the guy who’s darn close 9 outta 9 is better. period.

I disagree with the article writer. Sure pixar makes movies with kid content but claiming Shrek, Kung fu Panda and madagascar are kid movies is laughable. All the adult themes you point out in pixar are also found in other films. Also they are 9 of 9 i agree but in that same time period i can fine 9 movies from any of the big publishers that made more money. Critic Scores are complete hogwash as are awards since they are completly biased opinions. only rating you should go by is the box office.

the creativity involved in the conception and making of animated movies are indeed fascinating…

So, let me see if I understand. If someone disagrees with John, who agrees with critics’ opinions, it’s just that person’s opinion. Yet, since John has more opinions that agree with his opinion, John’s opinion is the uberopinion that trumps all others. This is why I generally dislike bloggers.

From some of these comments, I have to wonder how many of you know anything much about filmmaking?
Compare Pixar’s nine films with the most recent nine films of any kind from any studio and see how they match up. Pixar remains on top of its game when other studios aren’t even certain what game they’re in.
