Pixar films have recently suffered due to unimaginative storytelling.
Why Pixar has fallen off since Monsters University (2013):
1.Kids as main characters: something I’ve noticed is most Pixar movies of recent center children as the main characters in roles. Whereas back in the day, so to speak, classics, such as Toy story, cars, ratatouille, monsters, Inc., and up were told utilizing adult aged characters to drive the plot. Nothing against using children for title characters, but I’ve noticed the plot scope and capabilities drastically becomes limited.
2.Factory like graphics output: The bean mouth era of Pixar animation style has become copy and paste. Again, looking back at other Pixar Classics of yester-year, the art styles differed between films, but I’d say within the last several years it’s just been a steady output of the same art style, which starts to blur the lines between the differentiation of each film, making each one less memorable than the former.
3.Plots are too emotionally abstract: It worked for concepts, such as inside out... But how many times is Pixar going to keep attempting to do some weird emotional roller coaster film that talks about death or transformation? Seems like Pixar movies as of recent just largely hinge upon out of body, metaphysical, transformations, or weird alien-like, buddy-buddy partner up films. Again, looking back at their earlier films, I feel like the plot lines were far simpler, but the way they could be executed offered ways for them to be profound and relatable - such as a rat that’s dying to be a chef and learns to chase his dreams, or a family of superheroes in a struggling marriage, or an egotistical race car that learns what’s truly important in life.
