Jay 37,370 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Huh. Quote Set in 2002-2003 Toronto, the film centers around Mei Lee, confident thirteen-year-old Chinese-Canadian girl who is torn between staying her mother's dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. And, as if changes to her interests, relationships, and body were not enough, whenever she gets too excited or stressed, she "poofs" into a giant red panda.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Disney saw the horrible box office of Encanto and Raya and decided their no-franchise animated films will go straight to D+. And this is not even a pandemic problem. Scott Mendelson said that the last "original" (as in, it's not a sequel or prequel to anything) animated movie was Coco, back in late 2017. Since then, all animations that were succesful at the box office were part of franchises (Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Frozen 2, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,286 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Giacchino has a very solid track record with Pixar movies so I remain confident... but I'd love another Randy Newman Pixar score.

Think that was the last score he did (or Toy Story 4, whichever came out last in 2019)... his output has always only been fairly intermittent, but the gaps seem to be getting greater. I don't think he has consciously retired, just slowed down. Even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a crappy boot, but the music is terrific with a great gospel number, Heaven is My Home. 3 minutes ago, Smeltington said: Pixar to Randy Newman: Replacing their classy, vintage toy, with disposable upstarts ;-) I've only listened to Luca, Onward, Soul etc. once or twice each... the music for Pixar music just isn't grabbing me any more, which I find rather sad.

saulocf 79 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Giacchino is at his best at writing good optimistic music (his Pixar scores and Tomorrowland), so I am more excited for this than his other 3 2022 assignments. This kind of explains why he was so inactive these past 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,370 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 If you look at Pixar split in half at 2014 (the year they didn't release a movie), 11 out of their first 14 films were done by 2 composers! 7 - Randy Newman (Toy Story 1,2,3, Bug's Life, Monsters Inc, Cars, Monsters U) 4 - Michael Giacchino (Incredibles Ratatouille, Up, Cars 2) 2 - Thomas Newman (Finding Nemo, WALL-E) 1 - Patrick Doyle (Brave) Their 12 post-2014 scores are more balanced 4 - Michael Giacchino (Inside Out, Coco, Incredibles 2, LIghtyear) 2 - Randy Newman (Cars 3, Toy Story 4) 2 - Jeff & Mychael Danna (Good Dinosaur, Onward) 1 - Thomas Newman (Finding Dory) 1 - Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (Soul) 1 - Dan Romer (Luca) 1 - Ludwig Göransson (Turning Red) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I seem to recall by the time Toy Story 3 came out, Newman felt kinda done with animation.

Drawgoon 100 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I suppose this was expected. The other solo movies of Angus MacLane, the director of Lightyear, are two Toy Story shorts, and the most recent of those (Toy Story of Terror!) was scored by Giacchino. These days, gigs like Lightyear seem closer to MG's territory anyway. I am so very curious why neither David Newman, Joel McNeely nor John Powell have landed a gig at Pixar yet.
