Soul, the disneyfication

Am I alone in feeling that the this is somewhat (shockingly, blatantly, disgustingly,) mephistophelean

Soul

What is left to monetise now that our very soul is a commercial cartoon?
what would JB say?

Hilarious that Nine Inch Nails have done the soundtrack.

Reminds me of the very clever thing Burroughs said "Who monopolized Life Time and Fortune?"

 

[luka]

One of the other things I wanted to do, something I learned from Prynne, was point out the way capitalism colonises the language of nature. Bank, stream, branch, and here Burroughs is talking about a similar colonisation of colour.

Coca-Cola stealing the colour red.

I'm not into autocorrect capitalising words like Apple and Windows.

 

[william kent]

The media capitalise the word 'black' now too. They're trying to steal blackness.

Inside Out already turned emotions into characters, and even more disappointingly I ended up really enjoying it

 

[william kent]

I didn't like that one. They shot themselves in the foot with the emotions as characters thing as they're one-dimensional by design. I did like the abstract thought bit though, and Bing Bong deciding to stay behind was quite moving.

 

[boxedjoy]

I've only seen about ten movies in my life to be fair, my bar for enjoyment is exceptionally low when it comes to cinema

Have we addressed the Pixar secret history already?
from animate toys to post apocalyptic Wallee?

 

[william kent]

The Pixar lamp stamping on the "I" until it takes its place is their mission statement of crushing the individual and taking over their mind.

No, but we look forward to hearing you do so. I've never seen a Pixar film.

the project to turn viewers into slavering brainless popcorn zombies is just the mask that Pixar wears, the real project is even weirder

Pixar's one-world theory: All the movies are connected

Two new Disney videos detail how all of the Pixar movies are part of the same extended universe, confirming fans' long-held theories.

The Pixar Theory

The Pixar Theory is a famous cartoon theory explaining that all Pixar movies are set in the same universe and all link together. The theory was created by Jon Negroni. There are many takes on the theory and some takes add spin-offs and shorts to the timeline. More interesting theories are always...

It's been a well established theory for a while - i'm wondering whether any of the recenter movies are trying to debunk or to lean further in

... and thus whether this latest atrocity is the next bit of the Pixar theory

so, since the theory was initially posited in like 2013 (or earlier), the Pixar brains must have had to decide to either feed the conspiracy or ignore it.

If they even wanted to deliberately plot a tale that would destroy the theory, by including some sort of features that are incompatible with the "Pixar Universe", could they even achieve that?
Or are the forces of conspiracy beyond their control, or can the forces of imagination combine any conceivable narrative to fit the grand arc?
