I know this is going to get downvoted. And in the case of pixar its probably not true.<p>This article, however, reminds me of english class, where teachers insisted every little piece has hidden meaning. What if they just set out to make a good movie? Did the writer really intend for this hidden meaning or are you reading too far between the lines?
I think this conclusion is less obvious than it first appears, and to suggest that it is some sort of grand scheme on the part of Pixar is a little bit ridiculous.<p>I would say that the human/non-human interaction comes from trying a formula, finding out it works, and trying subtle variations.<p>His comments that "brave souls" will be "defending what is right" and things will be "better for it" could describe nearly any film, and should not be considered some indication of a trend with intention in Pixar films.<p>It's possible that he's merely trying to document/predict the effect of this particular combination of elements in many widely watched films, in which case his argument might be seen merely as exaggerated.
