Nov 7 2008Pixar's 'Up' Trailer: It's Pixar, so, You Know

up-trailer.jpg

Pixar has released a new trailer for Up. I know better than to say anything derogatory towards it because, well, it's Pixar, and it isn't about anthropomorphic cars, so chances are I come out the one looking stupid, not the most critically and commercially successful animation studio ever. So I'll just say that I like how he has tennis balls on his walker feet. Old people always do that!

Seriously though, what is the logic of the tennis ball thing? If that's a better way to have walker feet, why are we not just making them that way?

asl?

Well at least it seems better then a man who bans soup...

At least 3 reasons for the tennis ball walker feet are given here:

The most likely, and equally rambling, reason:

"My grandmother's walker had that hack done to it. It was to make it easier to slide without having to actually pick it up. The rubber feet that are standard on those don't slide well at all, so the walker must be picked up slightly to get it to move. The tennis balls give it less friction..."

... but of course, the insurance companies would never let a company produce a product that slides easily. Some > would put their weight on it trying to get off the loo and the thing would slide out from under them, sprawling them all over the tile floor grasping frantically for the "panic" button, and their lawyer's phone number.

I don't know any old people who use tennis balls, but my Nana says she won't do it because it's tacky, and my Pop Pop says he won't do it because it's for queers and pinkos.

I love pixar, even if the style has been the same foreverrr- it's good and the animation is flawless
they deserve to be the most critically and commercially successful animation studio EVER cause they're better then disney. disney sucks

Wall-E sucked!

i like how all pixar trailers now all essentially say "Look at the awesome shit we've done. here's our next thing"

Well, I suppose he does that so there's less friction with the floor, yes, but also so the walker feet don't scratch the floorboards. People usually do that in low budget movie sets, when they're shooting on location.

Well, it's the exact same humour as every other Pixar film (Hahaha, did you see that long pause before the punchline? That made it even funnier because I had to wait and stuff!), but at least it's not about the secret life of toys/bugs/automobiles/rats/etc. that are funny because they're just like us.

Keep in mind I'm a complete jackass

Sexy...

Wall E was great. Scooby there is prolly is waiting on the next Hillary Duff flick. Kindly fuck off you no taste loser.

Fuck'd... UP.

Well, Pixar is good at stuff, but they are now run by the devil, that is disney. Wow what a merge huh? That's almost as bad as the bush/cheney presidency.

Great. Another Pixar movie starring white males and aimed towards an audience that glorifies the white male.
I'm looking forward to figuring out who the quirky coloured one-dimensional subcharacters are!

@ #16,
So I'm guessing you want the next Pixar movie to be based in Harlem and the main characters are black crack dealers? Sounds great!!!!!

17,

That's not what i meant at all. I'm just saying Pixar is getting a little predictable.

Oh, and by the way, way to racially stereotype! I sure hope you are being sarcastic and that statement is not entirely created out of pure ignorance. I really, really do.

That's kinda true. They've never made a movie about ethnic people. There's been minor characters, like Frozone, but...

Yeah, Pixar's movies are always about white people (If there are any people at all) .
