I enjoyed Soul, especially because of the drugs I was on at the time, but what is Pixar doing? They attract the best artists and yet they keep coming up with these blobby, generic character designs.
I haven’t really enjoyed a Pixar movie since Coco. Soul had good ideas but the execution wasn’t great, Luca was very bland and didn’t do anything interesting with its concept, Incredibles 2 is a terrible sequel, and the others have ranged from terrible to mediocre for me. I hope they turn things around, but so far this looks *really* unappealing.
Imo their last really successful movie was Toy Story 4, and even that one was just ok.
To me it looks like the character designs all seem to mesh together that it’s hard to remember which character is from which movie. I swear Coco and Encanto look very similar character design wise.
I don’t want to be outright negative like others in this thread bc Pixar obviously has a pretty amazing track record but I have zero interest in this. It looks DreamWorks. And not How to Train Your Dragon DreamWorks. Just generic. Bleh.
This seems like it’s going to be pretty fun, I doubt it’ll be one of their masterpieces like wall-W or ratatouille but I’ve enjoyed every Pixar movie and this seems to have kinda of a Turning Red vibe to it, like the animation style is kinda generic but it’s a fun story
The trailer is bad, but the fact that this will premier at Cannes means Pixar is pretty confident. Their Cannes track record is good (Up, Inside Out, and Soul).
The designs are heinous and the characters have no translucency or real subsurface scattering. The blue and red light they reflect doesn’t come from reflections, it’s just added on. Although the fire people shouldn’t reflect or cast a shadow. The lighting really makes this poster cursed.
Other than the leads, I just don’t like the character design for this film. Ember at least has eyes made out of fire. But everything else having human eyes and teeth is creepy and our place with what they’re supposed to be. It’s also not blending well.
But that’s just technicals. I also thought Frozen was a bit ugly and look how well that did. I would like to see a win for Pixar and animation that’s not based on previous IP.
This looks sub-par in character design and writing. Animation, physics , compositing all look fine but story isn’t something that can be sacrificed. I hope I’m wrong but this looks lame.
Everything about this film’s marketing is bland and mildly obnoxious. But for some reason I want to be optimistic about it. Pixar hasn’t failed yet, really–at least, outside of sequels–so this should at least be better than the Mario movie. and the Mario movie was, if nothing else, *fun*.
Okay observation here there’s usually more buzz about the cast of these pixar movies and I don’t even know who the two leads are and by that I mean I haven’t really seen any names in the marketing.
This is just like the trailer.
Stuffed full of colourful things. It is all to much, crowded and unfocused.
Seemingly no colour-concept, the proportions are all over the place.
Dare I say it?
…
This is an ugly poster.
Can’t wait to see how much Disney loses on this one. The concept and style just seem too bland and generic. Trailers aren’t doing much to convince me it has a good story either.
Its very cute
I’m not the target audience but I like this poster!
They’re really getting ideas from children now, aren’t they?
Fireboy and Watergirl did it better.
One of the train advertisements is going to an easter egg to a future Pixar movie, isn’t it?
Clearly chasing the success of Inside Out.

For a second I thought Osmosis Jones was getting a sequel.

Yeah Pixar’s gone down the toilet quality wise.
Imo their last really successful movie was Toy Story 4, and even that one was just ok.

I’m thinking it’s lack of originality.
Despite the color palette, the trailer makes all the characters very dull.

I feel nothing looking at this poster, this movie just looks so utterly bland
It’s like taking a generic storyline and just removing everything until you have a barebones outline of it.
Fire + Water = Uh oh! Those don’t go together!
But wait, maybe they can?!
The characters appear to have been simplified down to blobs lacking any personality of their own.

This looks like an AI generated Pixar poster.
I love how Pixar created their own genre of deeply intimate themes involving emotions….
And then drove that genre directly into the ground

This has all been said before, but what the hell:
This looks like a cute idea for a Pixar SHORT film, not a concept that sustains itself for +/- 90 minutes.
Other than the leads, I just don’t like the character design for this film. Ember at least has eyes made out of fire. But everything else having human eyes and teeth is creepy and our place with what they’re supposed to be. It’s also not blending well.

Will we ever get another Pixar film like UP?

I don’t think Pixar understands or doesn’t care what kids want to watch anymore. Are they targeting a demographic other than young kids/families?
It looks like that other Pixar film where different moods are the characters.

All I wanted was a sequel to Inside Out.

the fire girl design is great, everything else is awful

Zoomed in on the little dude’s camo shirt and one piece looks like Marvin the Martian taking a poop. No joke.
