Pixar and Disney always deal with the same subject. family, friendship, good & evil and so on. I mean it's okay, they stand for it, but that limits their possibility of variation. So the most impressive thing about them is that they always find new ways of telling the same old story. The crew is very creative and they reach a new technological level with every film, but you know what you get.
BUT their policy and the way they treat new creative students is a catastrophe. everytime when I watch a new pixar or disney I get more of the feeling they're selling me a product than showing me something unique and arty.
WALL-E has been truly their greatest film yet.
Now there are so many creative minds and small studios laying in the shadow of those big Corp. and well that's the way it is, but in comparison, Pixar doesn't hit me that much.
p.e. Up won the academy award against The Secret of Kells, and I expected it, but it also shows me that most people don't even know any other animation studios, because Disney & Co is omnipresent.
Try to watch some films done by Studio 4°C or by Satoshi Kon (who sadly deceased this year). There are so many great russian and french animation films you can find too.

You're not actually giving me a straight answer. Tell me exactly how the plot of one Pixar film is identical to another.
You feel like you're being sold a product? What about UP, a film that had absolutely no merchandising but still appealed to viewers across the board? And guess what: Nobody has fucking heard of The Secret of Kells beyond internerds and movielosers. It's just some pretty Irish cartoon movie with some Celtic lore. UP was a successful animated film who's main character was a
grumpy old man.
I could not care less about your repellent eastern European art cartoons or fancy-shmancy "Studio 4°C". You sound like some Hipster pooping all over Pixar because it's more successful than the pretentious garbage you drown yourself in.

Wall-E had nothing to do with any of those things except for friendship,
maybe. It's not even like Auto was truly evil, since he was just doing what he was programmed to do. Same with Ratatouille. And Finding Nemo and so on and so on and you get it. It's great.
