Seems to me that Dreamworks at $370mil a pop is still doing OK. Last I looked, development costs were under $200mil. I'd settle for that profit margin.

Also quite interestingly is that the highest peaks are not Pixar's. Just goes to show you that all those highly paid Pixar executives still have trouble determining what families will go for.

There's room for improvement, which sounds like an opportunity to me.

I'd use it as a verb meaning to do it really well.

As in, I thought I'd fail that math exam, but I totally pixared it.

Creatively thorough.

And it should definitely have no "conjugations."

He's so pixar in bed.


He's the most pixar.

1:21 So Pixar created the great stories and every character with quality, with which the audiences swarm according to their genres, and every character arcs according to its depth. And Pixar saw that it was good.


hehe... a bit sacrilegious, but 'for the Love of Pixar', they've got it right.

Wow, Ballish, you found a really flimsy, narrow, cynical "flaw" in Pixar's string of giant Oscar-winning hits, versus the studio that gave us SHARK'S TALE. The SHREK movies did well, though not with critics or even in fan's memories. Yes, a truly powerful argument. Pixar must have no idea what they're doing. A string of 11 monster hits is an indication something is not working, according to you.

(Btw, yesterday I was in an aquarium where I saw a little girl point at a fish and say "It's Nemo!". No one said anything about SHARK'S TALE, oddly.)

Hope life is good for you at Dreamworks! Keep drinking the Kool-Aid!

Surpassing excellence. As in -- My idea was good, but John's was pixar.
Gregaria at 2010-06-23 11:56:25:
Consistently excellent.

I also like the idea of no conjugations.

landon donovan's 91st-minute goal over algeria was epic pixar.

@Alex: Damn straight! What an incredible moment. I almost lost my voice celebrating with a crowd of onlookers. Fantastic time for U.S. soccer.
