Saw arietty in theater and some girls thought she would grow to human size and live happily ever after. I chortled.
gopms
Up is a happyish ending for Carl but poor Ellie never gets a happy ending and she deserved it just as much so Up makes me very sad.
Dostronomus
Want v. Need is a very basic bit of growth for characters in good stories. The problem really is that most movies don't even try.
RenaldoMooon
They also make kids movies from terrible premises. Monsters in the closet? Rats in the kitchen? Your toys hate each other? Bugs? Awesome.
AlmostCertainlyNotPickles
I do think this is the reason why I can't accept a reality where I accomplish a dream as intended.
iwashopingthatusernamewasnottaken
I like happy endings too

woaaa... spoilers! :D

"you can't always get what you want!"
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
Is this user glorifying plot twists and talking like only Pixar movies have them?
Thetiredmechanic
You can't always get what you wa-ant...

Yea this used to be way more common in cartoons too. Like, Ash would lose the league and his mom was still proud of him and whatnot.
OlderManCommentingOnYoungPeoples
It's a classic dramatic technique called Want/ Need. Almost all good dramas use it.
Imalwaysready
So many people out there hoping their wives will die so that they can finally find themselves...Thanks, Pixar!

Bing Bong fades. Although, let's be clear, he didn't really die because he still exists in her memories. The idea of him being a real 1-

entity is what died, a necessary sacrifice for her to grow into adulthood and be able to experience joy again. 2-2

i don't think he exists anymore, the pit is where faded memories "die"

He watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

Lightning McQueen won a bunch of piston cups. The kid from Coco is allowed to play music, the people from Walle returned to earth.
CMoeBaggins
Coco learns his hero was a murderer and not his grandfather.
nero4ty2
mcqueen eventually gets beat and realizes he no longer has a racing career
SharkyMcSnarkface
At first I thought you said “racing cancer” and got really confused about the third movie (which I didn’t watch).

Don't have dreams kids
MantisTobogganPilotMD
dream big and manage your expectations
Spookyghostmoccasins
Don’t have kids dreams
YerALizardHarry
Have dreams don’t kids
Iunderstoodthatreference
don't have dreams of kids
JHawke
And if you do, don't talk about them. You might get lynched before someone even bothers to find out.

Carl did kind of get Ellie to paridise falls the house made it there
youwintheinternet
Yeah, weren’t her ashes on the fireplace mantle?
killeroo1
Ellie's dead bro
ShutTheFrontDoors
Yes, but he actually did not know that. He let the house go assuming it would not make it. So he gave up on the dream and followed a new one
ilovedogknots
But it still did make it
VonLiptonSchtein
But we as an audience know, meaning we feel that he accomplished his goal. And it wasn't giving up on a dream, but learning to let go. He 1/
VonLiptonSchtein
Felt like he failed her because he never got her there. The album showed him that she didnt care, was happy w/ him, and wanted him to be too
nommon
In Brave she turns her mom back from being a bear, though. Would have been cooler if she stayed that way. Or maybe if they all became bears.
crazedhermitwizard
That was just the surface problem though. In the end she made a compromise between fulfilling her duty to get married and being wild. (1/2)
nommon
Sort of. I mean, they changed the rule so she got everything she wanted in the end. Still, it's a good movie and I'm just nitpicking.
acinonyxjubatus
Have you seen the (underrated, but surprisingly entertaining) Brother Bear from the House of Mouse?
nommon
No, but maybe I should!
fluffleupagus
I love Brother Bear! It's a beauty, eh?
crazedhermitwizard
(2/2) but otherwise I agree: more Scottish bears = higher quality movie.

Dreams are still good to have. "Reach for the stars, because even if you fail, you still get to the moon."
DGNightwing95
That's no moon.
microcactus
In reality, you'll blow up on launch pad.
PhenotypicPhenomena
Shoot for the stars, it will make it more fun when I kick you back into the dirt
MrRobSteel
If KSP has taught me anything it's that if I make it to the moon, the odds are that I will explode on impact.
2805662
That saying betrays a gross misunderstanding of orbital mechanics.
BigFatFailureTurtle
It's good to reach for the stars, but be satisfied with the moon.
ljansenwe5
Or you just dont get anywhere, theres no guarantee to get anywhere. I think thats a point that pixar missed.
NitherNor
If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, do not be ashamed, for you have aspired to greatness.... And the moon had it coming.
Cthulhukitten
Takes some time to fall to the moon though, and depending on where you ended up you might fall elsewhere.
CSJones
I'm glad someone finally came up with an accurate version of that saying.
maliciousGman
Heisanevilgenius
Yeah but the moon is 400,000 km away and you have to travel in a straight line the whole way. :p
Heisanevilgenius
If your trajectory is even the tiniest bit off you're not just landing on the wrong part of the moon, you're in space forever.
Heisanevilgenius
Not to mention the moon's MOVING the whole time. I know I'm being pedantic about a silly joke. Just wanted to say :)
iamthugnasty
I thought the saying was "shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll end up among the stars"
Foxsayy
Shoot for the moon, and if you miss you will be lost to the void of space, floating as space junk for centuries.
WilliamWeird
I thought the saying was "shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll die slowly in space"
snnoww
I thought it was Busta Ryhmes song.......
AndyBernardResponseGif
Not for the Apollo missions
UrsusDerpus
Yes, but we’re closer to the moon
CSJones
Although, on second thought, there's no friction in space, so if you miss your target, you just keep going until you hit a star.
UrsusDerpus
Also very true
TripPayne1
But if you miss the moon, man are you a bad shot. The moon is huge.
iamthugnasty
I mean, it took hundreds of literal rocket scientist to hit it the first time so... my chances are pretty slim
GiddyKipper
Pretty sure ‘among the stars’ is a bigger target !?

Monster U wasn't a decade ago..
saysomethingcool
You're right, it was 6 years ago. But the comment still applies.

Geez fair enough I didn't even realize it's that old.

Get a move on. You ain't gettin any younger.

UP was a decade ago? jeez i’m old
pattyymac
Yep, it was nominated for best feature film as well as best animated film in the 2009 oscars. I used to be super into the awards
KnowmSaying
Up was decade ago????
m00nWatcher
Yup, 2009.
BillogUncle
