Inside Pixar (2020– ) User Reviews

Interesting but surface level

[lars_ · 6/10 · 21 November 2020]

I love Pixar, so was incredibly excited for this docuseries. Each episode is focussed on a different person at the company. Although an interesting look at their stories, the series doesn't go into much depth about the actual filmmaking process. It's a show about the people making the films, and lacks the insight into the process that I was hoping to see. If that's what you're looking for, watch 'Into the Unknown: Making Frozen 2' which was an excellent series. I wish Disney made something similar for Pixar.

Not what I expected

I felt it was more about social issues within Pixar than about film making.

I enjoyed it a lot!

[amaliehjuul · 9/10 · 26 February 2021]

I really enjoyed this series and straight up binged it! I really liked how they showed all the small jobs and how they're important too because it really is a HUGE job to make a whole animation movie.

Looking for inspiration? Look no further.

This series is incredibly inspiring, especially the first handful of "Portrait" episodes which cover the stories and backgrounds of the individuals who make Pixar happen. As an aspiring storyteller and writer, this series has provided and extra burst of energy to my creativity and hope for the future. The brevity of each episode limits the amount of content they are able to cover, which is unfortunate and leaves you wanting more. I do think the last few episodes - those narrated by the voice actress - weren't as strong. But overall, it really is an entertaining and inspiring look inside Pixar!

my favourite tv show

[stellamc-29625 · 10/10 · 6 December 2021]

Honestly, i adore this show. It gives me endless inspiration as an aspiring film maker, finding out about the lives and jobs of these people in pixar. I rewatch it constantly, my favourites are the character designer and the pastry chef, but i genunienly love them all.

However, i got so excited everytime they said they were releasing new episodes, but i found the last 10, about the techincally process, insanely boring. In fact, i stopped watching after a couple of episodes.

Overall, i love (the first 10 episodes) of this show, and i hope they make more :)

50/50 Good and Bad Episodes

[EmmaRBC · 5/10 · 15 June 2021]

The first 10 episodes are really interesting and fun. Short insights into the work of 10 people doing very varied jobs within the Pixar company.

Unfortunately the other 10 episodes are more of a narrated style, talking about general elements of the making of Pixar films rather than specific people. It's just not as compelling, plus 5 of those 10 episodes have such cringey dialogue that I couldn't watch!

Watch the first 10, skip the rest.

Gah! Talk about misleading show title

[gareth-75442 · 4/10 · 17 January 2021]

Quite simply "Inside Pixar" is not what this is about, it's 5 episodes covering 5 people, one per episode, that work at Pixar, talking to the camera about their personal life & experiences & how that influenced them to do what they do & how they incorporate it into their work at Pixar, so for me "Inside Pixar" is probably one of the most misleading titles that could have been chosen for this, these are personal stories that while interesting, sad, heartwarming & some amusing are nothing to do with Pixar, very disappointed.

Pixar Snowflakes

[eduardmaier · 1/10 · 28 January 2021]

I love how every single episode portraits a person more unlikeable than the previous one! That's quiet an achievement. I mean who would have been interested in how these different teams perform their highly specialized jobs in order to create wholesome movies!? Right, it is the odd people with irrelevant agendas we are interested in. On point Pixar.

Not really about Pixar

[kenpummill · 1/10 · 24 February 2021]

What a disappointing series. My family is all in on Disney but this type of forced social acceptance of diversity gets old. I would have loved to learn how Pixar actually works but no I need to be programmed to be accepting of others. It does not matter who you are but what you do to contribute to society. Stopped watching after 3 episodes. So please stop assuming we are not accepting of diversity.

Not as much as expected

[MK_Movie_Reviews · 2/10 · 23 August 2021]

I love Pixar movie since I've watched the movie "Up", but this one is not as much as expected.
