They have told the stories of and given voice to all the greatest Pixar characters (with the obvious exception of the silent WALL-E). Consequently, it is arguable that Woody, WALL-E, and Pixar’s other seminal creations have become the most universally adored cartoon characters since Mickey, Donald, and the other original Disney characters.Ī series of remarkable and often Oscar-winning scripts has been at the heart of that cinematic storytelling. Underneath its state-of-the-art graphics was an understanding of truly cinematic storytelling, of the kind that Walt Disney himself had pioneered nearly a century earlier. Pixar has always been at the cutting edge of film-making, becoming the first computer animation studio in the mid-1990s, long before the rest of cinema (and eventually the rest of the world) became digitized. Indeed, such was its success since its first (and still best) feature, Toy Story, in 1995 that it was inevitably subsumed by the increasingly dominant Disney in 2006. Why? Because Pixar just celebrated its 37-year anniversary of being the most successful animation studio since the original animation studio that Walt Disney established in the early 1920s. If you need a reason to binge-watch or read the screenplays for a bunch of Pixar movies - now’s the time.
