I never said "AF Kids" because that sounds more like generalizing.

I said the kids of the group.

I got your point, yeah....But I'm just saiyan.

Hahahano.

No emotion = no movie

You can always tell the quality of a piece of professional writing by the amount of cursing in it, I always say. So this 868 word one, with 16 "Fs" and 10 other misc curses, makes it consist of about 3% cursing. Quality. Then again, deadspin is a Gawker site, which will allow brain-damaged lemmings write for them while they sully the name of journalism (which is REALLY hard to do), so I suppose I should be happy that only 10 percent of the article (about 85 words) is written in all caps.

Mandatory rage out of the way, as for the content of the "article"...this...isn't a new thing. Movie makers, animated and not, have been using social engineering and research to target their movies and invoke certain emotions for quite some time, basically as long as anthropology and sociology became a mainstream thing; honestly, it's probably better now than it was in the dark age of social sciences, where the scientists believed that ethics were an unscientific thing due to the subjective nature of it; Honestly, it could be much worse than it is.

That said, the fact that every Pixar movie is the same holds true, and the reason for that is...basic economics, the lame adventure story with a loose moral shoehorned into the end makes them money still, so they'll continue to do it; their markets say that the emotional engineering that is aimed at parents works, so they stick to it; kids are easily entertained by flashing lights and fast motion, so there's no need to spend money on storytellers.

I think you missed the intent of the article.

Well no, the intent of the article was to make a curse ridden 5 year old temper-tantrum rant about an issue with a filmmaking company imploding somewhat unethical tactics and a public too blinded by said tactics to realize they are simply churning out formulaic cookie cutter movies with the same undercurrent to make the older generation watching said movie have a somewhat forced/falsified emotional connection to the movie whilst not eliciting the same reaction to the younger generation whose attention span will allow for said cookie cutter movies to satisfy them and then demand the older generation to spend more money on similar cookie cutter movies.

This leads to my response to the article of "This is true. And?"

Pixar movies make me laugh more than cry.

C'mon, I hate Pixar movies because they just flat-out suck but this guy misses the fact that they're terrible and complains that they have those typical tearjerking shitscenes? Those are typical symptoms of a bad movie trying to get attention.
