Fuck you, Pixar

LuckyDad · September 2013

I just re-watched the first 15 minutes of Finding Nemo, the first time since I became a dad. Holy shit, it's basically a slasher movie.

Man buys beautiful home in the suburbs for his wife and family. Everything is happy. Then...

Wife and 399 children get slaughtered.

Thanks for the nightmares, Pixar.

All Disney and Pixar movies are tragic.

I'm still mad about Bambi's mom.

LuckyDad · September 2013

Aladdin isn't so tragic. He's an orphan street rat at the start of the film. We're left to connect the dots his mom was probably a prostitute who died of an infection that modern medicine could have prevented. Maybe you jerks should have discovered penicillin?

I posted about this last month @luckydad. What the fuck Pixar? I bawled for the rest of the movie. How did I not notice that part when i was younger?

Because as a kid we don't relate to the adult characters as much. We don't have the pathos to understand "holy shit, that's pretty fucking tragic". Also, it's just vague enough to be confusing when you're little rather than "aaaaaah!"

Which is worse, Mufasa dying (Lion King) or Ellie (Up)? I just can't decide.

Up!!!! That fucking movie.

LuckyDad · September 2013

I haven't seen Up yet. Although I have an idea of the basic plot outline.

mydixiewrecked · September 2013

Well fuck me. I haven't seen UP but I guess there is death?

NEVER EVER watch UP while TTC and drunk or PG. NEVER.

I went with a water bottle filled with wine. Big mistake.

I want to go to the movies with you @SookieFrackhouse

@luckydad have you seen Toy Story 3 yet?

That one ripped me the fuck apart. I cried for about the last 15 minutes. They want all parents dead.

No. It's silly, but we actually have been "saving" all the Disney/Pixar movies til DS is old enough.

Although, given this thread, old enough is about 65 years old.

Our ONLY theater in town has balcony seating that is 21 and over. They have servers that bring you beer,mixed drinks,or wine and food while you enjoy your movie. The seats are sooo comfy too. If only I could refrain from telling people to STFU during a movie I would probably enjoy it more.

I watched Toy Story 3 while pregnant. That was some ugly crying.

zou bisou · September 2013

Up and Dumbo are the worst tearjerkers for me. What does Disney have against moms? They're always killing them off or ripping their children away from them.

You need an Alamo Drafthouse. They take that shit seriously.

OMG, this is the exact movie going experience I need!

FFSC: except for the first 10 minutes, UP is overrated.

I'm scared to watch toy story 3. I just don't want to bawl.

I didn't think Toy Story 3 was sad, like, at all. Not even an ounce of sadness.

Whaaaaat?? Really? Not many movies make me cry but that one got me.

But then again the fucking Carter's and Tylenol commercials make me tear up too.

The worst part of parenthood is commercials making me tear up.

It's better than it was the first six months. I swear, DW was still emitting hormones and messin' with mah system.

I didn't cry either. I thought "oh, sad" and I'm usually a sap.

SoDoMojo · September 2013

Toy Story 3 gets me every time. And my kid watches it a lot. But you should've seen what Toy Story 2 did to me. When Woody gets shelved? Broke. My. Heart.

jorkz821 · September 2013

Nemo is tough, especially when watching with the kid. "Where da mommy fish go, mommy? Where Nemo mommy??"
Ummmmmm...

Yeah, for the longest time I would just skip the first chapter of Nemo, but I recently key her watch it and was immediately asked where the mommy went. I had no answer!

Oh, and we watch a lot of Toy Story 3 here, and I cry every time!

nancy30005 · September 2013

Is Cars a Pixar film? Not too sad.

Also, my kid is on a fucking Rio kick. It's cute but goddammit I wanna go to Brazil. NAO.

(Chicken Little is a fave in this house. Great soundtrack).

Spin313 · September 2013

I cry, or at least tear up, every time I see the beginning of UP. The part when they are at the doctor gets me every time.

For a long time, the only Disney movies that we let DS see were Cars and Tinkerbell. No dead parents, no real violence.
