well what do you know, it seems that at pixar they have the same process of making movies like they had at termite terrace when they made looney tunes cartoons. but the looney tunes managed to be funny

also when ed catmull pointed out why they dont make funny movies for kids because then youre talking down to them, and kids dont like that, that bs in my opinion. of course you can make a funny kids movie without talking down to the kids. i hope one day they will make an actually funny movie with balls. im not saying their current movies are bad or something i love them, but i want something that will make me laugh real hard and melt my face with joy god dammit

very interesting thor thanks for the link

The teacher I worked for on Tower 37 for used to work at Pixar during that Bugs Life/Toy Story 2 period. I always wondered why he took leave until I heard about Toy Story 2's development, which must have been absolutely amazing and completely draining at the same time

you know, where the cartoons are SPECIFICALLY TAILORED for kids without thought of an actual story. It's not so much as a cartoon as a money grab attempt

well I dont think Pixar likes to make just straight-up comedies. They seem to prefer "dramady" more like. Mixing sad stuff with funny stuff.

Whereas dreamworks is usually straight-up comedy vehicles (except with kung fu panda) (kinda)
