Imagine how many vloggers would be put out of business if Disney started their own blog with weekly construction pics from within the sites themselves.

I'm certainly not defending every vlogger, but Disney would only show what they want people to see. We'd definitely not see any shots of anything running behind schedule. Still, if it was truly interesting backstage information, I'd watch it even if it was corporate PR.

Or it would be some sort of CG rendering and concept art mash-up. Then a minute long drone shot of the whole project (SWL anyone?)

Okay... it's "discounted." :) Hey it was "discounted" in olden times, too. It's an audience-grabber. All this started because the woman I saw the film with had recently given birth and she basically had to look away from the screen for that entire sequence. Her hatred for the scene rubbed off on me; I totally empathize and see her point. Back to the start of all this, though: The Incredibles is a solid and groundbreaking film. The sequel looks just about as interesting as Finding Dory, Monsters U. and Cars 2. Pass. I can wait for home streaming, for sure. The fact that it's a sequel that's junking up one of my favorite roller coasters certainly plays a part. :D

Its meant to elicit an emotional response, which is a storytelling tool since the beginning of time. Anyways like I said you don't have to like it. In fact I'm sure most parents don't like seeing kids of any age put into danger in movies. They wouldn't be human if they did, which is the whole point, meant to elicit an human emotional response. But just like the stories of old, it'll continue to be used as a storytelling device.

Anyways, the sequel looks like a solid sequel to me. I'll wait to see it, but it may end up being the best Pixar sequel yet. Sure its plays on similar themes we've seen in previous movies, but so do all the other Pixar films.

BTW, in case anyone is wondering or didn't know, but you are all smart people so you probably did. The Incredibles is set in the 1960s, so the themes it plays on are an homage to the struggles of families in the 1960s. Which is why the sequel tackles the "mom goes off to work and dad stays home" story line, it was a real thing back in the 1960s.

You must be a big Gary Hoey fan.

My vote for Best Pixar sequel so far is Cars 3, followed by TS 2 and TS3. (Although I will say Cars 3 and Toy Story 3 share the same issue: Fantastic 1st and 3rd act...very average middle.

I loved the style of Cars 3. It was such the perfect sequel. I hope The Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4 follow a similar format.

My favorite Pixar sequels are:
Cars 3
Finding Dory
Toy Story 3
Toy Story 2
Monster's University
Cars 2

Yeah, Cars 3 is the sequel people actually wanted to see, and it has a solid theme (aging athletes) that it handles intelligently. Cars 2 is fun, but it's about half an inch deep (and a little Mater goes a long way).

Wow, I didn't know people liked Cars 3. I'd say Toy Story 2 is my favorite Pixar sequel, with Toy Story 3 right behind. Cars 3 is certainly better than Finding Dory and Monster's University.

It helps that I'm a big fan of the first Cars film, and I'd say Cars 3 actually improved on it in many ways: Funnier, quicker-paced, and I loved where it went in the final act. I wasn't expecting the film to deal so realistically (for an animated fantasy) with the fact that Lightning *is* aging and will *never* be as fast as he once was. And Doc's old cronies were charming as heck. :D

Top six Pixar movies in a particular order:

Toy Story
Toy Story 3
Monsters Inc.
The Incredibles
Inside Out
Finding Nemo
Click to expand...

I can appreciate it. Out of curiosity if you had to pick only 5 which one would you cut? Monsters Inc is lower on my list i think because believe it or not I didn’t see until about 5 years ago. By then I had heard so much hype for almost 10 years that it was impossible to live up too. I’ve only seen it once. I might rewatch one of these days. I wasn’t a huge fan of Inside Out but I also saw it at the movies on a day when I was pretty tired and was kind of nodding off. It was clever but it kind of lacked entertainment value for me. I have it on blu ray but still haven’t popped it in once.

EDIT: nM the Q. Just saw you said “a particular order.”

My List from Favorite to Least Favorite (I'm sure most people liked Finding Dory more than I did):

Ratatouille
Coco

Cars 3
Up
The Incredibles
Monsters Inc
Toy Story 2
Toy Story 3
A Bug's Life

It sure says something about Pixar when even their weakest films aren't bad movies at all.

The Good Dinosaur is a bad movie, though. It's boring and predictable.
