I just got done reading the artice on Animation news about Up. Pete Doctor and the pixar gang are comparing up to previous Pixar films. He also says that if you think that WALL-E or Ratatoullie should have been nominated for Best picture Oscar wait till you see Up! {Doubtful in my opinion} Anyways, this makes me even more exicted to see UP!
He never said thatā¦ Theyāre Pixar, not jerks who think themselves as the best thing ever when their film hasnāt been completed yet.
Yes, Iām thrilled. But I deny any hyperbole now.
Edit to add just a little thought: Their interviews are always like āitās just telling a great story. Or trying to,ā and āhopefully it will click.ā They didnāt set out to make Up for the Oscars, theyāre just trying to tell a story they like, and while theyāre confident and enthusiastic about it, they donāt go around and sell it to the Academy, but the audience, and āhope it will resonate.ā Oscars mean squat if the story sucks.
At the momentā¦Iām not too excited. But iām not particularly fussed because i tend to trust in Pixar more than any other studio in the world.
Also Iād say that they have a habit of keeping the advertising and marketing to be very modest without feeling the need to resort to This will be the best thing ever! and they tend to rely on story far more.
I can remember when the ratatouille adverts first came along. Initially I hadnāt seen anything from the teaser trailer that made me stand up and take notice. It was until i saw the scene with Remy and Linguini by the river that i started to get excited.
Nowadays, being presented with a good story is more exciting to me than impressive imagery. Because everything is exciting to look at these days. It doesnāt mean a thing
If another trailer for UP shows some of the heartbreak and anguish that has been promisedā¦or a bit more heartā¦then iāll be happy and far more excited.
Iām definitely looking forward to Up, though not as much as I was looking forward to Ratatouille and WALL-E. Unfortunately, Ratatouille was a bit of a disappointment but WALL-E was even better than I thought itād be, so hopefully thatāll be the same for Up.
Iām sure Up will be great, but I do worry about it mainly being a comedy film as the trailers have shown so far. I like Pixar comedy, but the humour rarely makes me laugh out loud and, in my opinion, Pixar are much better with the stronger, more emotional scenes (though Iām sure thereāll be plenty of those too). But weāll just have to wait and see.
Iām definitely excited about this movie, maybe more so than I have been for previous Pixar movies. Iāve been keeping tabs on this movie more than any of the othersā¦thereās just something about Carl finally going on a round-the-world adventure that really gets me. And Iām loving the clips - theyāre just too cute! Plus it helps that every single piece of news Iāve read about the movie is nothing short of exceptional I REALLY canāt wait until May!
Sorry, but I cant say Iām all that excited about it. I dont know why. Of course Iāll see it, cuz itās Pixar, but the moment itās not grabbing me that way. Maybe once I know more about itā¦
Of course Iām excited ā¦ Iām here arenāt I?
I canāt, however, blame anyone for NOT being excited. We havenāt even been shown a TENTH of what this movie is all about. (ā¦and Iām one of the guys who saw the comic con footage.)
