Pixar Animation Studios is a film company which has released a number of beloved children’s films over the years and is now owned by Disney. While most of Disney’s earlier animation films involved princesses, castles, and true love, Pixar focuses more on adventures and friendships. For example, some of the more popular Pixar titles include Toy Story, a franchise about talking toys and their wild adventures that involve leaving home; Finding Nemo, a movie about a young clown fish that gets separated from his father and is adopted by a dentist; and Monsters Inc, a series about monsters and their ability to scare children to power their cities.
It is evident that these plots and themes are very different from the classic Disney movies, such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast, which all incorporate princesses, romance, and an antagonist standing in their way. In fact, only a few of the Pixar movies in this film have a real “villain” which drives the plot. For some it’s just about the adventure of the characters. For example, Inside Out depicts the life of the child who is struggling to understand all of her different emotions as she experiences life changes. Disney and Pixar can be as different as night and day!
