Disney or Pixar? A topic of debate that has the potential of dividing movie fans and animation lovers nationwide. Which company produces better movies... Walt Disney Animation Studios or Pixar? Now, before comparing the two companies, let's get a couple things straight. First of all, there are likely to be many factors leading to an individual's response to this question, such as personal bias to a specific director or writer, an emotional attachment to a particular movie of either company, preference of a voice actor, and so forth. Not to mention, the word "better" can have many definitions. Also, as most of you are probably aware of, Pixar and Disney do work TOGETHER. Well, actually, Disney owns Pixar and has since 2006, having payed a total amount of about $7.4 billion! However, it's quite obvious who's movies are whose, as Pixar movies come out labeled "Disney Pixar" and Disney movies are simply "Disney." Now, most people may not be able to tell you the difference between the two companies or their movies but are still likely to have strong preferences for certain movies. Some people though may be completely certain in their preference of either Disney or Pixar and would be happy to offer their opinion of why one company is superior to or lesser than the other.
It's actually quite difficult to find an existing reliable source giving the statistical preference of Disney versus Pixar. However, certain statistics regarding each individual company are pretty much undeniable and can be helpful in creating an opinion of each... Walt Disney Animation Studios has produced and released a total of 54 "full-length" feature films, including most of the beloved princess movies and other classics, such as Winnie the Pooh and the Jungle Book. Walt Disney himself was the first to use and produce a full-length animated film in English and Technicolor (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in 1937). Also a pioneer in it's league, Pixar Studios was the first to produce a full-length feature film in computer animation (Toy Story in 1995). Following this film are 14 others, and more on the way!
Though it may be difficult to choose between Disney and Pixar, it should be acknowledged that it is argued over more than necessary. Regardless, both companies are brilliant and produce BRILLIANT movies! Personally, I have to say that I can't choose! I probably have more respect for Disney as I believe they (specifically the man himself) have had the most influence in animation. However, my all-time favorite movies probably include more Pixar movies (Ratatouille, Up, Inside Out, A Bugs Life, Monsters Inc, and Nemo) than anything!
Please share your thoughts and favorite movies... I wanna know!!

I agree with you, because I think its really difficult to say that one is better than the other just because of all the great movies they have produced. For Disney movies, I have really liked Winnie the Pooh (tigger was my favorite), maybe it was because I love his amount of energy (very similar to myself) , but honestly there are more Pixar movies that I like. My all time favorite is Monsters Inc.(I also really like Monsters University). Close second is Up, and probably Nemo third. Honestly however, making me choose my favorites is incredibly difficult because all of them are really good!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! It's too hard to choose! And I love Winnie the Pooh!
DeleteI agree with both of y'all! I can't choose one or the other. They both have made such great movies. I love all the pricess movies and Pirates of the Caribbean movies,bu ti also love Nemo, Inside Out, and the Monsters Inc. movies.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, they are both really diverse! I like how the Pixar movies are SO different from one another, while Disney often makes movies based on fairytales or well-known stories like Pinocchio and the princess movies!
DeleteI agree with you, Indigo... They're both great companies. Although, I am a sucker for the "classic" Disney(the princesses and such). I just find those so much more entertaining, but that is my own biased opinion... Haha. The Pixar movies are also really cool(((-:
ReplyDeleteI actually thought they were the same thing. Shows how much I know, right?
