Jay 37,281 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I don't understand the problem. Of course some content makes perfect sense to be in more than one thread. Of course the new trailer for Luca is fine to be in both the PIxar thread and the thread for Romer's score. Why is this an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,384 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Judging by the trailer, I think John Powell could do an amazing job. Maybe something inspired by Horner's Apollo 13 mixed with Powell's love for expansive scores. But it'll probably be Giacchino or someone who has worked with Pixar before.

It was only Toy Story 3 where things kind of went awry between him and a Pixar director. If it is not him, or Pixar's other usuals (like Giacchino or Thomas Newman), then it could be the perfect time to bring David Newman to the scene. Or maybe McNeely, or even Debney. These guys know how to handle animation, these guys have done great space adventure scores before, and I'd be very, very surprised if their schedules were too busy right about now.

I'm so confused😰 Haha... that was the year Pixar did Brave, which I always thought was much more a trad Disney film (not quite a princess movie, but as close as Pixar got), and Disney themselves did Wreck-It Ralph which always felt much more like a Pixar film (quirky, high concept but ultimately quite emotionally affecting). I don't remember loving Brave, although Patrick Doyle's score is enjoyable enough. bruce marshall, Not Mr. Big and Edmilson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,643 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I thought Brave was fun. I think it’s one of the Pixar movies some people don’t particularly like. My kid loves it, though. so I guess it was successful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallguy 3,361 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I loved Brave. Love the story, love the characters. It's not a "Princess Movie" although it features a princess. I think what makes it unusual for a Pixar film is that it isn't a world. Most Pixar films are "What if toys were alive?" "What if the dinosaurs didn't go extinct?" "What goes on in our heads?" and then it's a core set of characters showing how their part of the world works and then going into a part of the world that they don't understand and taking the audience along for all of it. Wreck it Ralph and Zootopia are much more in the Pixar mold. My boy and I are all in for Lightyear. My daughter is OK with it. My wife is "meh". It would be interesting to hear Randy score it. He certainly wrote some good Buzz stuff that got him a little away from core Randy. But yes, I would LOOOOVE for this to be Powell's first Pixar. I certainly wouldn't mind hearing Christopher Lennertz get a shot. And they can't go wrong with Silvestri. Mark Knopfler? Tom Guernsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I guess I'd rank the PIxar movies like this (unranked within each bucket, just listed in the order they came out) Great movies I liked instantly and held up on rewatches Toy Story Toy Story 2 Monsters Inc The Incredibles Ratatouille Finding Nemo Up Toy Story 3 Inside Out Fine, if not particularly memorable {I've only seen all these once, maybe a 2nd watch would change my mind on some?} A Bug's Life Cars WALL-E Brave Monsters University The Good Dinosaur Finding Dory Coco Incredibles 2 Toy Story 4 Soul Luca Have not seen Cars 2 Cars 3 Onward Basically, I've never seen a Pixar movie that I would say was a "bad movie".

Jay 37,281 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Yea, I haven't been purposely avoiding it, just haven't caught up with it yet My wife's father passed away around the time it came out, so she wasn't ready to watch it then, and then I've just never sought it out or suggested it again since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallguy 3,361 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Random Pixar thoughts based on some comments upthread: We love Cars. Cars 2 was aggressively "alright". I haven't seen 3 since the theater but I recall it being a step back in the right direction. I still see no reason for Incredibles 2. Good Dinosaur is awesome. We all cried like it was Old Yeller. And it's got Sam Elliot as a Tyrannosaurus cowboy! I loved Soul and I should watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
