Pixar and Visual Storytelling

A tiny bit of business in the movie Up reminds us that movies are primarily a visual medium.

I make no bones about it: Up is my very favorite Pixar movie. Oh, I love so many of their films — Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Wall-e, Toy Story 3, Inside Out, Coco — there’s never been a studio with the consistent storytelling chops like good folks in that animation studio located in Emeryville, California.
