This Pixar supercut is 14 minutes of animated eye candy

With Pixar dominating the American box office yet again with Finding Dory, the supercut specialists at Burger Fiction have decided to pay tribute to the pioneering computer animation studio with a video called “The Evolution Of Pixar.” This 14-minute omnibus includes clips from all of Pixar’s short films and features to date, going all the way back to 1984’s The Adventures Of André And Wally B. As its title indicates, this supercut is an excellent opportunity to ponder how Pixar and computer animation in general have grown and improved over the course of 32 years. It’s not just a matter of technical wizardry either. It’s true that Pixar has gotten a lot better at replicating both the natural world and man-made environments and objects since 1984. But the studio’s output also marks a quantum leap forward in creative ambition. At the outset, Pixar was determined to prove that computer animation was no novelty or gimmick. The animators wanted to tell compelling stories about interesting characters. So that’s what they’ve been trying to do for the last three decades, hitting the mark more often than not. The result has been a series of modern classics: The Incredibles, Up, Inside Out, the Toy Story trilogy, and more.
