Loved it, too!

The "Day & Night" Pixar short was a little odd, though....

Yeah, I really liked Day & Night. Extremely clever, I thought, and yet a throwback to a way earlier cartoon style. Dug it completely.

Ok, are we spoilering for Toy Story? I don't think so. I'm like the last person on earth to see it, right? Anyway - no tags, so don't read if you haven't seen it.

K - I was crying all through end scene where Andy gives the girl all the toys and then plays with her and them before leaving for college. I had heard the end was a tear jerker, but I just was not expecting this - or my reaction to it. I would have thought I'd think such an ending was aww, how sweet ... but instead I was teared up and cry flowing through the whole thing.

I had also heard the trash conveyor belt scene was a little harrowing. But I was not prepared for how moving it was when the toys all accepted their fate and held hands to go down together. I swear it was ten times as moving as Cameron's Titanic.

Pixar (and their ace vocal talent) consistently pack more character into one of their pixel creation movies than any ten live-action films combined.

Not only that, but this goes into the record books as one of the handful of sequels that gets an A+ rating from miserly me.

Oh, and Mr. Potatohead as a tortilla was hysterical.

That's where I had tears. Wouldn't call it a full out cry, but some definitely went streaming down my face. Considering I didn't find Titanic moving at all, though, I can't make the same comparison.

I think my favorite scene was the Tortilla Head scene. Hilarious.

Day and Night though.....didn't do it for me.

I liked the creativity of "Day and Night" and it was definitely better than "Knight and Day" but it didn't do a whole lot for me.

It has been announced that there will be a Toy Story short shown in front of Cars 2 next year. I know I wasn't looking forward to Toy Story 2 or Toy Story 3 and was proven wildly wrong to doubt Pixar, but I'm also not looking forward to Cars 2. I'm a bit more tolerant of the idea of Monsters, Inc. 2

innerSpaceman · 06-30-2010, 09:53 AM

Is there going to be a Monsters, Inc. 2???

I'm open to Cars 2, but mostly because I thought Cars was meh. Completely cute, but absolute story-trite and meh. Not bad at all, just didn't do anything special for me. I think it will make a better theme park land than a movie.

So a Toy Story short? Will that be sorta like the Ben and Hurley short on the Lost Blu-Ray set?

Alex · 06-30-2010, 11:01 AM

Yes the next three Pixar movies now that Newt was taken off the calendar are:

Cars 2
Brave (was The Bear and the Bow)
Monsters, Inc. 2

I enjoyed how they incorporated 2D into Night & Day. That was great. But as a whole, the short was just okay. But I love the idea of a short being there in the first place. It's such a cool idea that has been brought back to life, I wish more studios would do that.

I would like to see TS3 again.

And my two cents on Titanic. It wasn't a tear-jerker for me. I was completely meh about the film.

Tangent Warning
I liked Titanic, but mostly because I am a Titanic freak, and I loved the verisimilitude of the ship and the sets and everything down to the dishes, and the way the sinking happened. It all LOOKED exactly like it would have.

But I had no feeling for fictional characters and their stupid class-barrier romance and their fake deaths.

Conversely, A Night to Remember, an earlier film about the same events, filmed on a barge with a four dollar budget (comparatively speaking), moves me to tears when the Titanic sinks and the stories of real people are involved. Of course, the sinking was directed more like a tear-jerker than an action flick, but I found that much more fitting. Too bad the sensibilities of one couldn't be combined with the art direction of the other. Together, they make one helluva good Titantic film.

Still would not be as good as Toy Story 3.

Yes, a tangent, and I've probably said before, but I found Titanic to be an immensely compelling movie while watching it. But it is one of those things where as soon as it was over I couldn't quite understand why I had been so caught up. But I've only ever seen it the one time so I don't know if I would be so entranced again.
