Pixar releases are good for kids' movies. As an adult, you can take a child to them without wanting to hang yourself midway through the first reel. However, I'm sick of them being praised by critics like they're vintage efforts by Kubrick or Scorsese. Every year, I get suckered into seeing the latest Pixar film because the reviews emanate enough seminal discharge to fill up the grand canyon, and I always end up thinking it would've been a more worthwhile time expenditure if I were a child or I'd brought children along with me to my showing. Up is no exception, and it's probably the most frustrating instance so far since it awkwardly juxtaposes a moving story framework about the human life cycle with toddler-placating pablum such as an annoying fat-kid sidekick and talking dogs. The Pixar guys are incredibly talented, and incredibly deserving of their success, but I've realized with this latest release that their output isn't going to be for me until I start to procreate. I'm fine with them cornering the market on movies for children, I'm just not fine with the consensus of the critical praise suggesting that their releases lend themselves to people of all ages recognizing within them the same level of timeless greatness.

Silly childish stories filled with moments of adult whimsy, sensitivity, pathos and intelligence. I have always resisted praising Pixar but I have to admit many of them are brilliantly executed.

I guess people want to backlash against anything that the majority loves. Scoff if you like, but Pixar films are skillfully written, meaningful, inspiring, and yes, contain enough slapstick humor and vibrant colors to keep children entertained. It does not, however, detract from the studio's sheer brilliance.

I think the Pixar acclaim has a lot to do with their perceived integrity. They mix intelligence and humanity and humor and melancholy with a balance and depth that's either lacking or seems really forced in most big films.

In a way, the critical praise seems as much a reflection of how Big Hollywood is failing to tell meaningful stories - than it is about Pixar doing so.
