Comment of the Week: Pixar’s gift to the next generation

With all the hoopla about Pixar’s “Toy Story 3″ it’s easy to forget one critical benefit of the studio’s roster.

Tomorrow’s kids won’t have to settle for “Garfield,” “Marmaduke” and other less-than-stellar kiddie flicks.

Reader PerfectSadie reminded us of that with her comment about great moments in Pixar animation earlier this week:

I’d be hard pressed to choose between the frantic scene in “Ratatouille” when Remy is trying to get out of the restaurant kitchen and the all around beautiful opening sequence of “Up.” The “Ratatouille” scene was a stand out in a movie which, like “The Incredibles,” was one amazing scene after another. But the opening scene from “Up” is unparalleled. Of course when I think about it I am reminded of at least dozen more bits of brilliance that set Pixar on a tall pedestal. I’m so glad my kids get to grow up with Pixar. It makes it easier to avoid “Shrek” and other Dreamworks-style garbage.
