We\u2019re doing something a little different this week and setting our sights on one specific Oscar category: Best Animated Feature. This episode, Kyle Amato joins us to talk about\u00a0The Good Dinosaur<\/i>, one of the few box office and critical disappointments in the history of Pixar. The story of a timid dinosaur and the human baby he meets on a quest for honor,\u00a0The Good Dinosaur<\/i>\u00a0was plagued by story overhauls and creative disputes, resulting in a final film that follows too closely to Pixar\u2019s formula for upbeat adventure. Critics were dismissive and Thanksgiving weekend moviegoers favored the final\u00a0Hunger Games<\/i>\u00a0instalment instead, with the film ultimately becoming one of Pixar\u2019s few entries to miss an Animated Feature nomination since the category began.<\/p>\n
The Good Dinosaur<\/i>\u2019s biggest Oscar impact was nominated\u00a0Sanjay\u2019s Super Team<\/i>\u00a0as it\u2019s pre-movie short. We talk about Pixar\u2019s history of troubled productions and this film\u2019s comparative failure in the year of\u00a0Inside Out<\/i>. We also discuss the\u00a0Cars\u00a0<\/i>franchise as the accepted critical loser in the Pixar brand, Pixar\u2019s unrelenting stronghold on the Animated Feature category, and the film\u2019s stitched together elements of characters and plot elements.<\/p>\n
Topics also include dropping hallucinogenics with a baby, our thoughts on Pixar\u2019s 2021 release\u00a0Luca<\/i>, and\u00a0the recent nominees in the Animated Short category.<\/p>\n
