toy story 4

Good:

• Bo Beep & Woody are together again.
• Duke Caboom is voiced by Keanu Reeves!

Bad:

• Too focus on some characters. Those old gangs do not involve so much as previous films. 

Question:

• What are the fate of The Dummies?

movies watched in this year

All by Disney?

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Is the Force so strong for Luke & Leia? But the story behind Luke & his cousin is reasonable for this consequence. Snoke's death is too weak but the fight afterwards is cool. Such a waste for Captain Phasma & Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo.

Solo: A Star Wars Story - Rouge One is too strong. The story is actually better than the Last Jedi but the story is a bit straight forward. Maul showing his saber is a bit odd. Is there any story to explain Maul's faith as shown in Rebels?

Incredibles 2 - same as Solo the story is straight forward. Where is the Underminer?

Finding Dory

Piper - The background is made as so damned real. The story is simple but meaningful.

Flaws are including not many species of fish living in salty water can survive in fresh water. And how can the pipes of Marine Life Institute connect to sea outside directly? But without these, the story cannot go on.

The surprise brought is weaker than Toy Story 3 or Inside Out. I'm really working on how the story is  in Cars 3 and Toy Story 4.

inside out

Lava - did pixar use the wrong item to show the love story?

I still don't like Sadness after the story anyway even that makes Riley in balance. Personally what I need is more Joy. Such a sad thing Bing Bong cannot be back to Riley's mind. Something should long live!

Can the train of thought be rebuilt? What will be happened if Joy & Sadness cannot be back to the Headquarters? i.e. the control console is disabled & Riley really goes back to Minnesota?

P.S. does the film mean cat's emotions suck?

pixar 25 years of animation

computer animation obviously is one of the methods to present the idea to audiences. even that can show some details while other methods cannot, other things are also important to make an animation successful.you can find one or two in this exhibition.
there are two things interested. first is the draft of some characters is different to the end product. Like kevin in Up, there were few different looks. And lotso in toy story 3, the original was much more cute which the characteristic was not finalized.
another is some drawings are covered with another layer of paper. some were forming the final part of drawing like for the birds. another seemed to cover the original one as in ratatouille. linguini was back to us but what he had faced in the original?
there is something cover the coming short, hawaiian vacation, which is about barbie & ken from toy story 3. will it be uncovered after launch of cars 2?
it’s worth to buy the related publications which simply costs HK$24 and contains much descriptions shown inside the exhibition. but it’s sad that memo pad gift is out of stocks…
p.s. moral standard of hk people is disappointing. how can we ask other organizations to support exhibitions in future?

bye andy

thx to steve jobs & roy disney, disney did acquire pixar so that disney dropped her own idea of storyline of toy story 3. toy story 3 should be the winner of this summer movie season.

for those who watched toy story & toy story 2, time-line of toy story 3 fits them which they have the same problem as andy has. woody and the gang are still misunderstanding each other. and their world is so humanized.

every toy dumped was rescued, it is quite environmental friendly. their life is reborn, so cool. i love buzz in spanish mode and ken is very attractive, both how he reacts to barbie, and also his girlish way.

but is that necessary to make the film as 3D? and a bit sad to cut some characters to make the story smooth.

and sid the villain is the garage truck driver?

p.s. is andy's computer a mac? bonnie's one is a must, but the map finder is not by bing, google or yahoo? will it be future apple's map?

lego toy story garbage truck getaway

the latest garbage truck specially built for coming toy story is out. compared to other garbage truck by lego solely (like my 7991), it seems toy story’s one is more cool at all (as it’s wider to show the size). but one thing it can be shown in the film only, the way to collect garbage will make both truck & environment polluted. the driver cannot go in or out his driver seat without getting some dirt. omg

Up

i just think the ideas brought behind are similar as the things inside steve jobs, de facto owner of producer, pixar.

everything is just fit into the right position with no less or more.

that's why pixar will bring back two old friends, toy story & cars, instead of a new story in coming years.

cartoon movies

1. ratatouille
   for disney cartoons, i will only watch those from pixar in the future!
   
   
2. simpsons movie
