With the conversation of Pixar and Disney, the majority of those who grew up with both companies and their movies, the most easily identifiable would be Disney. They have many Disney Princesses that seem to group together along with older Disney movies such as ‘’Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’’ which was created in 1937 and “Bambi’’ was made in 1942. The oldest Pixar movie is ‘’Toy Story’’ which was released in 1995. Disney would have the leverage that they started creating movies fifty-eight years before the first Pixar movie was created.
Individuals who had grown up with both had a tendency to feel more drawn to Disney because of how many more movies Disney had produced. Along with the fact that people were more familiar with Disney due to how far along the company has come with their advancing technologies and storylines.
“I felt more drawn to Disney movies compared to Pixar,” senior Aya Dayos said.
Considering some of the reviews that some individuals have about live-action remake films to where they feel there is no need to remake the films that are already existing to the point where they don’t even watch the movie because audiences feel it is becoming repetitive.
“I only went to see Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast,” senior Emma Estrada said.
The possibility of Pixar being either as successful or even more seem unlikely because Pixar already falls behind Disney on numbers with their movies. With Pixar using more shapes to define their characters that could take away from the animated movies and completely change what makes Pixar movies be as unique as they are, this would sway some audiences away from seeing live adapted Pixar films.
However, this might be the exact factor that draws children to watch these adaptations of Pixar movies. Shapes and colors had always drawn children to things, but with movies such as ‘’Inside Out’’ and “Elemental.” Due to their unrealistic looks in the movies, it may be hard to portray a realistic movie. But the name alone could attract attention to kids. ‘’Yes, I think kids would watch Pixar Live Action movies.’’ Said Lauren Bogdanoff.
Personally, I feel that Pixar attempting to make live-action films may be too risky to try and create. If we took into consideration that audiences would have complaints and not see the movie at all because of changes that do not impact the story to begin with at all. One such example was the live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid.”
Some individuals complained that once they heard the announcement of a live-action movie and that the Ariel’s race would change, they immediately discarded the movie. However, these individuals were mainly from an older audience. Children who went to see the movie did not see any problems with it because it was still true to the original animated movie.
