Tin Toy is a vastly under appreciated film. Try not to just think of it just as the inspiration for Toy Story and the one with the creepy baby (though both topics will be addressed). Instead, think about its structure and pacing. It's brilliant...ok, I'm going to stop typing and you should hit play, ready? 1...2...3...
You know that sad infomercial with Sarah McLachlan that makes you cry and want to adopt a dog? Well this is kind of the same thing...just with unicycles...and clowns...ok, so not the same thing, but it's good to start thinking about McLachlan now. She's important. Just think cowgirl dolls. Also, enjoy!
Red's Dream is kind of notorious if you are familiar with the Pixar canon both for its creepy clown and its unhappy ending. With that in mind, it has some advancements that are more than worth looking at!
All joking aside (but still funny I promise), hear about why Luxo Jr. is a really important film:
Admittedly, I may be way too obsessed with this wiggle...
Keep going! Part 2 of Luxo Jr. explores its remarkable historical context.
It all began with Luxo Jr. and so did Lilly's Thesis! But why not listen to her talking about instead of reading this summary!
The video blog blossomed out a passion for Pixar and an accompanying thesis about its short films. It all starts with an understanding of Pixar's Philosophy, though, so it's a perfect second blog post!
Earned Happy Endings is Lilly's YouTube Channel where her video blog began. Enjoy this introduction to what it's all about.
