From Will DiGravio at Film School Rejects:
If you’re reading this website, or live on this planet, I don’t need to explain to you why Pixar is worthy of its own video essay guide. In fact, I am probably doing Pixar and its body of work a disservice by lumping them all into one guide. All I will say is: Here are five video essays about Pixar you should watch.
Will’s list is wonderful (and his previous video essay guide for “your favorite cartoons” is also worth a look).
There’s a lot in these videos some of you super fans will no doubt have heard before, like how Pixar uses music to make us cry, or how the animation studio pays homage to classic films.
Will even includes a fantastic Inside Out essay by Lessons from the Screenplay, a channel I’ve frequently linked to on this blog. If you’re just getting started with some of the better film essays available right now, Michael Tucker’s body of work is a perfect entry point.
For my own contribution, I recommend Morr Meroz’s Pixar: The Story Behind the Studio, a 12-minute video essay that dives into the studio’s tumultuous history and explains how Pixar became Pixar.
Enjoy the essays, and if there any you’d like to recommend in addition to Will’s guide, let your fellow Pixar fans know in the comments.

Love this. You should do a video essay for Pixar on Jon in Theory.
AGREED
Players must avoid traps like green goo, which is dangerous to both Fireboy and Watergirl Game, and navigate the temple’s unique features like switches, platforms, and elevators.
When choosing an essay writing service, it is important to consider not only the price of the service, but also the quality of the material provided. A reputable company will offer a personalized approach to each order, carefully study the instructor’s requirements, and produce a unique and well-structured text. I am interested in https://textero.io/. It is also important that the service offers the option of editing the text and making corrections at the client’s request.
awesome thanks!
Those Pixar video essays are amazing it’s crazy how much meaning you notice when someone breaks it all down. It actually reminded me of the times I struggled to get my own essays to flow. I once used https://www.bestessays.com/custom_term_paper.php for a custom term paper, and it really helped me put my messy ideas into a clear structure. It didn’t do the work for me, but it made the process a lot less stressful.
Pixar always offers so much to explore – from storytelling to emotional depth and small animation details.
