Lmao, Pixar is ripping off Flow.

wtf we wanted a luca alberto animated sex film. not a cat.

>hand-painted style of animation
Loving Vincent or 3D with a filter

Hopefully better than their last………l attemptttttttttt……….. at mimicking 2D from 2023

Hey, if independent is destroying your sequel and beanslop factory, fully rip off the Oscar winning competition

>>148992562 (OP)
Better that they do this instead of just endless sequels

I guarantee it's going to be Ratatouille again but they changed the animal and personal interest.

dang, such a subtle allegory...

>This new Pixar film returns to Italy, Casarosa’s birth country, this time to Venice, where, after years of maneuvering the sea-side, extraordinary city, a black cat named Nero begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives.
>Indebted to a local feline mob boss, Nero finds himself in a quandary and is forced to forge a truly unexpected friendship that may finally lead him to his purpose…. unless the mysterious and dark side of Venice gets the better of him first.

Cringe tweet, but that has nothing to do with the newer Pixar movies. What of any of them are about twisting a gritty story into SU escapades? Just say you don't like them like a normal person.

Indebted to a local feline mob boss, Nero finds himself in a quandary and is forced to forge a truly unexpected friendship that may finally lead him to his purpose…. unless the mysterious and dark side of Venice gets the better of him first.

So pixar's new business model is...ripping off balts and slavs? Long after the hand-painted artsy look became devalued because of filters and AI? That promo cat pic even has derpy early AIslop eyes, looks almost retro in a way. What a time to be alive.

Plus, this sounds like some weird mashup of Ratatouille and Soul, and black cat protag sounds utterly unoriginal. Pretty sure there's a French animated movie about a black cat in Paris (no, not the one with the spandex.)

You can't even pull the "well actually both were based on the book and may have similarities but they aren't the same"

This will be the first AI animated movie attempt Pixar will make.There will be SOME cg but a majority of it will be AI scenes. That's why they're using a simple black cat, easier for the AI to generate animation with and for artists to cleanup any errors.
Source: attended an internal meeting about this movie last week

Disney/Pixar should just pack up their bags and go back to traditional 2D animations. Not 2D digital. 2D TRADITIONAL.

could be pretty if they keep the art promise. But that story looks really bad.

What the hell is Disco Elysium? I read a bit of the lore and watched a few videos about it, but I still don't get it. But I don't want to talk about it here since it is /co/.

>>148993834
it's a video game/visual novel about an alcoholic detective who has to solve a murder but he went on such a huge bender he literally forgot everything except detectiving and breathing (and the detectiving is shaky)

Oh yes Avatar was such a fresh, new, and original concept that has NEVER been seen in media.

Hell wasn't there some bad action movie where people transferred their minds into avatars so they can have violent battles? I completely fucking forgot the name of that movie but it just jumped into my mind. Was it Surrrogates?!

>>148993870

Disco Elysium is a video game, but in the sense of old school adventure games that are very text heavy. You have a guy you move around the map, but it is basically an interactive book. There is a LOT of reading, because every interaction you have with the game is done as a dialog, even if what you are interacting with is an inanimate fucking object.

This is, in part, because you are playing as a man who has completely annihilated his own brain with drugs, alcohol, and *maybe* exposure to a hole in the world. He can't remember.

The world starts off seemingly normal enough, if set in a fiction city, but it becomes increasingly clear as you explore that the world the game takes place in is much, much stranger than it first appears.

What ties this all together and blends the weirdness of the experience in with the actual gameplay is that every 'skill' in the game that you would use or level up like a normal RPG? They are all unique voices in your head. They tell you to do things. They whisper what are either crazed ramblings to you or what is genuinely relevant advice. As you become stronger in any given skill, you become more likely to succeed with it but it also has a longer hold on you. There will be things you do automatically, other options you lose out on, because this part of your personality, is dominant.

Its a weird, cool experience. And I have no fucking idea how you apply anything about it to cottage-core witch adventures.

UP was basically Pixar working through their grief after losing Joe Ranft

>>148994352
That was because Rio was Blue Sky and they didn’t want to go up against Blue Sky’s lawyers. They might not be afraid of Dream Well Studio’s or whatever’s lawyers in the same way.

>>148992731
> a truly unexpected friendship
Are cute mouse girls back on the menu?

Pixar is dead, seriously its time to give up on them. There will never be a return to form. The second renaissance isn't happening this decade.

>>148993377
> a local feline mob boss
I seriously doubt the characters are gonna be non anthro and mute like in Flow.

At best this guy >>148992651 called it and the production images are indicative of a Ratatouille or Bolt situation being planned, but I bet by the time it actually makes it to the screen, the MC is gonna be changed so he’s walking on his hind legs and wearing a little vest the entire runtime.

I wonder what discount off the rack pop song writer they’re gonna pay to ruin it while they ignore the mountain of free beautiful public domain opera music they could be using that would fit the setting and story perfectly.

>>148992598
3D obviously. Some outlets are reporting it’s hand-drawn with no foundation. They clearly said it’s just a style.

>>148994433
They dont need one as long as they experiment. I'm sure they oversell the "hand painted style of animation" but I'd love to see a good movie in an interesting style. Daily reminder that Disney did FUCKING NOTHING with the Paperman style.

>>148994155
>the lineup of iconic Pixar cats including Sox (from “Lightyear”), Dragon (from “Toy Story 5”), Machiavelli (from “Luca”) and many more.

Ah yes, such iconic characters. Every american child has at least one plushie of these unforgettable little fellas. Who wrote this article?

Cats are an invasive species bioweapon and I hate any media that says otherwise.

>>148994963
Funfact: dogs are pests that carry a bacteria known as toxoplasmosis that makes you love them and hate cats.

The reason people own cats is because they counter that bacteria and save you from dog mind control

At least Pixar is finally straying away from that shitty beanmouth style

Honestly with this and other upcoming promising distinctive-looking projects announced at Annecy like Heist Safari and The Twits, is the animation industry finally straying away from that horrid beanmouth style? Is beanmouth finally dying?

I guess that Patrick Star Show joke making fun of it knocked some sense into the industry:

This is the real one

So this really is just a genderswapped, species-swapped, special interest swapped Ratatouille with schmancy AIslop looking art. And I bet the companion chick is non-white too.

Couldn't they make a movie about a more underrated animal like a pangolin or a possum or something? I like cats and all but there are disturbing amounts of cat movies lately.

>>148995538
This looks like AI also.
