Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Pixar usually hits one out of the park. Every film so far has been a gem and even the weakest is fun.

These films tend to be better written and produced than animated films from other studios. While obviously intended for a General audience, Pixar animation avoids the pitfalls of dumbing-down their stories or cleverness in order to appeal to a youthful target demographic. Adults, sans kids, can go to a Pixar film without any risk of embarrassment or feeling uncomfortably out of place; Ratatouille is no exception.

What I like best about the studio's product is that each film is a whopping good yarn told with heart through well developed characters displaying emotion and real personality. Pixar's animated heroes employ sound ethics without ever succumbing to boring dialog or preachy narrative. That, in and of itself, is an amazing accomplishment.

Finally, Pixar's animated characters have substantially more depth than those typically found in weaker scripted live action movies with jacked-up, testosterone laden visual effects. This highlights Pixar's craftsmanship and storytelling talent more than it emphasizes egregious failures arising from Hollywood's blockbuster mentality.
