In 2006, Pixar unleashed Cars, a comedy about anthropomorphic automobiles and the (strangely human-less) world they raced across. How, though, did Pixar get to the point where it could be so easily dismissed? Thank Larry the Cable Guy.

If the movie performs as well as analysts are predicting – and the buzz is deafening – it will be the comeback the studio, and by extension the entire industry, so desperately needs.
Not only is it the best film of the year thus far, it's the best film Pixar has ever made. This Friday marks the release of Inside Out, a thrilling, original story that is more concerned with genuine human emotion than licensing possibilities. Sub-par sequels, merchandising opportunities disguised as movies and 90-minute cinematic commercials for inevitable TV spinoffs: This is the reality of today's children's entertainment landscape, and Pixar has simply fallen into the same trap as everyone else. The studio has undoubtedly seen better days – but so has the entire animation industry. The detractors, and there are many, have a point: Pixar's golden age, during which it produced such next-level cinema as Toy Story, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, was more than a decade ago. Each critique has been perfectly timed to coincide with a new Pixar release, as if someone high in the cultural hive mind decided that the animation studio should face a barrage of stock transgressions year after year, film after film, until everyone was comfortable with the idea of burying the company in a WALL-E-esque mound of postapocalyptic trash. If you've read anything about Hollywood over the past five years, none of these accusations should sound new.
Pixar is unoriginal, creatively bankrupt and as dead as Walt Disney's frozen head.
