Pixar's new movie where things are people

[Dark Jaguar]

You know those Pixar people, always saying "what about the life of this inanimate object?" (and it always ends up amazing, except for Cars). Well prepare to be blown away, because now they're taking concepts and turning them into people.



So two things. First of all, I think it's great that Disney is remaking Herman's Head. Wait, nobody got that joke? Um, Herman's Head was an early 90's sitcom about this guy Herman and all his emotions were people living their own lives inside his head. Nobody watched it. Well, I'm sure Pixar's version will be better.

Secondly, and I know I'm overthinking this but... there's a bit of an infinite regress problem here. If all your thoughts are individual people in your head, then where do those homunculus' thoughts come from? Do they have inner-inner people in their heads controlling their different states of, say, sadness? And so on ad infinitum.

I'm still going to watch it and I'm still going to cry though, I'm just sayin'.

Wait, Disney characters based on emotions such as Happy, Grumpy, and Bashful? I'm pretty sure they've already got characters like that...

But yeah, I'm probably going to watch it and like it anyway. It's Pixar, after all.

Except for Cars, like you said. It was just meh, and the sequel (what I saw of it) was garbage.

Good to see a new Pixar movie that isn't a sequel. The concept sounds interesting: can't wait to watch it. I still need to see Brave, but I've seen most the rest and love them. Probably my favorite is Wall-E.

Wall-E was a little bit over the top in a lot of things. Particularly, the notion that having robots do everything for us will make us all fat (robots can't get fat, let's just make the future where everyone is Voltron), but it was overall a good movie.

Robots don't make us fat; robots make us lazy, and in turn we become fat due to a lack of exercise. I'm sure improper diet is as much a contributing factor to the obesity epidemic of Honey Boo Boo's mom proportions.

I also haven't seen Brave. Maybe I should.

What I mean is, why be human?
