First full length trailer for Toy Story 3 out in 2010. It is magnificent.

I'm pretty excited. I like how the kid has gotten older like the audience.

[Toasty]

I thought they already made a Toy Story 3. w/e

Looks good though, Might even be better than the first.

[Someone Else]

Wow that actually looks good. A Pixar film that's not about reuniting/repairing a family relationship for once.

You'll be surprised.

...

Ratatouille, Wall-E, Monsters Inc., UP, A Bugs Life, Cars.

So basically the only non-family ones are the first 2 toy storys and Finding Nemo.

[Someone Else]

Ratatouille: A rat must choose between his dream and his family. At the end, the dream and his family are reconciled. Subplot: Food is a bridge Anton Ego travels to revisit cherished childhood family memories.

Wall-E: an isolated robot seeking companionship, meaning, and a place to belong. Parallel plot: Mankind is forced to abandon its home. Mankind returns home.

Monsters Inc.: A monster doesn't enjoy his work of scaring kids. He accidentally brings a child into the monster world, grows fond of the child, but ultimately must reunite her with her parents back in the human world.

UP: An old man loses his family (his wife was his entire family) and his dream. He finds a new family and recovers his dream.

A Bugs Life: Concerns an ant who wanted desperately to fit into ant society, but who could not abide losing his individuality. (In the end, both sides compromise to allow his acceptance.)

Cars: About a slick red sports car's choice between a rootless but high-octane life in the fast lane, and a far slower-paced but warm and close-knit 'family'. This included a return to his old sponsor who considered the car part of their 'family'.

"Family" can be broadly defined, you know. I'm not saying they're bad movies, but it would be nice to see a new theme.

Pixar movies are engineered to be family friendly; it's only natural that they mirror that link in the narrative itself. Dreamworks does exactly the same thing.

[Ironsight]

Meh. The only good one was the first one.

Yeah. Now look at each of those and tell me there's not a recurring theme of coming to appreciate yourself/your friends, etc.

[Someone Else]

I haven't watched every Dreamworks movie because I am too cool. I'm pretty sure Shark Tale was just intended to be dumb entertainment without much narrative, though.

I'm actually astounded that you and Wind Dude summed up Pixar movies all under one theme. I think it's a bit of a stretch. They're quite varied in their actual plots. Those are just the character development that come along with it.

[Someone Else]

Wall-E was a leeeetle bit of a stretch for me. And maybe Bug's Life. But I stand by my other statements!

[My Best Wishes]

Why are you analysing children's movies. Are we going to compare Cat in the Hat to the Russian Communist Revolution next?

Your trolling also sucks.


This new movie doesn't look too promising to me.. but I liked the first movie <3.

[Split Infinity]

I'm sure the graphics will make up for any mediocre gamescreenplay.

Varied in plots, not themes. They pretty much all (including Shark's Tale) revolve around family, or coming to accept someone for who they are (or that person accepting who they are).

Wasn't actually trolling but thanks for the mention.

Sure, that's what I was going for. The plots still more than make up for any common "themes" for me. If this is the criticism people will have however, then they may as well criticize the entire non-R rated movie industry.

Sorry mate, your point was so weak that I had merely assumed it was an attempt to get a rise from someone. I'll let you keep at it next time.
