About this video

Pixar doesn’t make movies anymore, they make therapy sessions. In this video essay, I dive deep into Pixar’s strange obsession with trauma and how it’s completely changed their movies. From Inside Out to Turning Red, Elemental to Lightyear, Pixar has shifted away from magic, humor, and heart, and replaced it with generational wounds, depression, and psychological baggage.

But why did Pixar change? Why do all their recent movies feel the same? And is this obsession with trauma the real reason behind Pixar’s downfall at the box office? This is the case against Pixar’s “trauma era.”
