Lamplight on the Ball Project: Intro

Five years ago, I embarked on a daring, if not exactly new, endeavour, that still continues to this day, to watch and review all of Disney’s animated films from Snow White to, at that point, Frozen 2. And then keeping it going with every new film Disney releases thereafter. And I made the rule back then that Pixar was one thing I would not be including in my reviews. 

YET. 

Well, ladies, gentlemen, and all points in between, that long awaited day of Pixar’s freedom from my review purgatory has finally arrived. Because, as with Disney, I’ve been a devoted fan all my life. I was five when Toy Story came out, which I loved, and three years later A Bug’s Life came out and I remember convincing my aunt to come with me to see it again and we both loved it.

And, incidentally, as with Disney, I also have a Pixar tattoo on my shoulder blade, first one I ever got. 

The problem is, however, since there are obviously far fewer Pixar films than Disney, the margin for error is far smaller. But, my goal will remain the same; nostalgia and fandom will play no part in it. Only objective, unbiased study and criticism.

So, very soon, I will be reviewing all films released by Pixar since 1995. And again, every time a new film comes out.

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!
