Golden globe animated movie nods 2025
Re: Golden globe animated movie nods 2025
Yeah…and I finally ran Elio the night before last, already having bought the disc but ending up on D+, and what a lame movie! So,so, soooooo derivative of so, so soooooo many other things. Every element — characters, dynamics, designs, situations, dialogue, plot, music — were so rote and/or predictable. Glad I didn’t power up the proj for this and could make do with the D+ stream. It wasn't "bad", but it wasn’t really anything either.
Again, it got an award nod because Pixar, and it would prove this category doesn’t get watched properly if it actually won, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Zootopia got it just because the voters have heard or — shudder — actually seen it…!
Which got me thinking back to when Pixar really was Pixar and, you know, I really think it was as much as ten years ago and Inside Out in 2015! Okay, sure, there have been a couple of bright spots — Coco, maybe Toy Story 4 and Soul, as esoteric as it is — but even those were five or more years ago and not the heights of what Pixar was. Maybe that’s also why we’re getting another Coco which, as "good" as it may be, is still another sequel title. And it’s not a Disney thing, as they had a good run under Lasseter for ten years before he went. It’s not even to do with him either, because he left in 2018, after the films had started to falter and before a bunch came out that he would have greenlit. I can only surmise that with so many competitors, Pixar is just going to struggle as much as any of them: "if everyone is special, then no-one is" has never been more true…

I see Zootopia 2 winning, but I'm not excited about any of this year's films.
So, Ben bought a disc, and didn't watch it out of spite? That's messed up.
