This was especially true of WALL-E, which was defiant in terms of its restraint and subtlety. While Pixar had always been a critical and commercial darling, the high water mark–for me at least–occurred with the back to back releases of Ratatouille and WALL-E, two films that really pushed the envelope for mainstream animation.
This led to some incredibly high standards among critics and moviegoers alike, all who expected more of Pixar films than those produced by other animation studios. From the time it released Toy Story until a decade after, it seemed Pixar was infallible, and utterly incapable of making anything less than a brilliant film. To this extent, a brief summary of Pixar’s recent history is probably in order. This spoiler-free review of Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out might as well be subtitled, “How Pixar Got Its Groove Back.” That, of course, assumes that Pixar lost its groove in the first place.
