snoop1130 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Pixar’s Soul: ‘This film is really gonna heal a lot of things for people’ By Clarisse Loughrey ‘We’ve settled in a place of just feeling super grateful that the film is coming out:’ Pixar’s creators reflect on new film ‘Soul’ (Disney Pixar) We try to make films that are intelligent enough for kids, but simple enough for adults,” says Pixar’s Pete Docter, an impish grin plastered across his face. The sentence reads as both whimsical and profound – exactly the kind of tagline you’d imagine was cooked up in the animation studio’s headquarters, in the same rooms where it was decided that toys and cars could talk, rats could cook, and robots could fall in love.

It depends. If you are a 99.9% than you are suppose to find meaning through dealing with suffering and austerity. For the 0.01% you find meaning in life by the predatory harvesting the wealth of the 99.9% and making all their lives living Hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not representative of European cinema but anyway the best cinema moved to TV over a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was done and dusted thanks to "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"... was it "47"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
