It's one of the reasons I love AwardsDaily. Read something interesting in a Charlotte Observer review. I had not really noticed this, but most of Pixar's films (save for maybe the Incredibles) take a very dim view of humanity. Among other offenses, they "torture toys, imprison fish, frighten soft-hearted monsters, step on insects or fry them with magnifying glasses." That is quite a laundry list, and it got me thinking. Outside of the Incredibles (who may not count b/c they're "superhuman"), only three sympathetic Pixar humans come to mind, and even they display some serious flaws: Andy from Toy Story (his capriciousness fuels the rivalry between Buzz and Woody), Linguini (clumsy, slow-witted, unwilling to acknowledge Remy's contributions), and Captain McCrea (until he meets Wall-E and the plant, he goes along with humanity's continued descent into technologically-abetted infantilism). This is why UP, Pixar's next serving, will be so intriguing. For the first time, the main character will be human, and a non-superhero at that.
