Well what do you expect when it comes to Pixar and Toy Story?

 

[DragonFreak]

That people are have extreme favoritism to Pixar, and I don't like it. Dreamworks is far superior.

if it makles you feel better sweetflareon.

it might have won if it wasn't the last toy story and the most saddest one out of all the three.

 

[DragonFreak]

I've said this once already this week, but the first Toy Story was awesome, the others not at all. I actually think the first one was more sad than the third.

 

[Ultraluigi]

imo, toy story 3>how to train your dragon
sorry df

 

[DragonFreak]

None taken. Even though HTTYD had much better animation, the storyline was better, and it's not some failed attempt at a sequel.

Dreamworks is far superior.

How so?

 

[Specific Neptune]

Here's hoping Benedict Cumberbatch wins an award for his portrayals as Smaug and

Spoiler

Khan.

Star Trek movies only get the technical nominations and seeing how the first Hobbit didn't get that much love from the Academy as much as the original trilogy...

 

[Specific Neptune]

The second movie improved on the first movie by a lot, and even if it doesn't get anything, cumberbatch's portrayal as Smaug was phenomenal, not many can deny it.

And another year where I have not seen any of the candidates for best picture.

Dreamworks is far superior.

Dreamworks movies have better stories, better animation, most of the time better voice actors, and better nostalgia. Dreamworks also has it's own style and doesn't have to confirm to other companies *coughdisney/pixarcough*. I like some Pixar movies, but not nearly as many or as much as Dreamworks movies.

 

[Shyghoul]

you are the first person i've ever seen that said dreamwork's animation is better than pixar's animation

 

[DragonFreak]

I'm surprised by that.

 

[supermariofan]

Pixar had less grossout humor than Dreamworks, also...

Wow you're missing so much (particularly Saving Mr Banks, Prisoners, Nebraska, All is Lost, 12 Years a Slave, Inside Llewyn Davis, Rush, Captain Phillips, Her, and American Hustle)

 

[DragonFreak]

I don't really watch that many new movies. About 10 is the max for me a year.

Dreamworks also has it's own style and doesn't have to confirm to other companies *coughdisney/pixarcough*. I like some Pixar movies, but not nearly as many or as much as Dreamworks movies.

Aside from what I said in the other thread about Toy Story, which questions the idea of Dreamworks having "better stories" (I'm not an animation buff, so I can't really say why one is better than the other, since both companies have movies of varying styles), voice actors have little to do with a film's quality (films with certain voice actors may get more notoriety, but they aren't better or worse than films with less notable voice actors just on that basis), and I don't understand how a movies can have "better nostalgia" than others, since your feelings of nostalgia in this case are entirely dependent on what you saw and remember from your youth (obviously more Dreamworks films than Pixar films) and also have no bearing on the films' superiority or inferiority to others produced by another company. Pixar didn't conform to other companies. Pixar worked with Disney because Disney had a fuckton more money, and then they continued working together because they produced good shit.

 

[DragonFreak]

Eh whatever, you win.

 

[supermariofan]

I would like American Hustle to win but it's probably gonna go to 12 Years a Slave

 

[Magikrazy]

I take the Oscars with a grain of salt now after The King's Speech beat Toy Story 3 and Inception for Best Picture.
