Summary: The films from Pixar Animation Studios are among the most popular family films today. From Monsters Inc. to Toy Story and Wall-E, Pixar's animated characters take on human qualities that demand more than just cultural analysis. What animates the human subject according to Pixar? What are the ideological implications of that animation? Pixar with Lacan has the double aim of analyzing pixar films while at once exemplifying important psychoanalytic concepts (the voice, the gaze, the partial object, the Other, the object a, the primal father, the name-of-the-father, symbolic castration, the imaginary/the real/the symbolic, desire and drive, the four discourses, masculine/feminine). In so doing , Lilian Munk Rosing expertly examines the ideological implications of the images of human existance in Pixar films.-- BOOK BACK COVER

Summary: "The first computer-generated animated feature film, Toy Story (1995) sustains a dynamic vitality that proved instantly appealing to audiences of all ages. Like the great Pop Artists, Pixar Studios affirmed the energy of modern commercial popular culture and, in doing so, created a distinctive alternative to the usual Disney formula. Tom Kemper traces the film's genesis, production history and reception to demonstrate how its postmodern mishmash of pop culture icons and references represented a fascinating departure from Disney's fine arts style and fairytale naturalism. By foregrounding the way in which Toy Story flipped the conventional relationship between films and their ancillary merchandising by taking consumer products as its very subject, Kemper provides an illuminating, revisionist exploration of this groundbreaking classic."--Page [4] of cover.

Summary: " Since its first feature film in 1995, Pixar Animation Studios has often been treated as a powerful, influential, and forward-thinking animation company. However, many of its films are incredibly besotted with a nostalgic longing for the past. From the Toy Story trilogy to the first Cars film, many of Pixar’s films are about chasing what used to be instead of embracing the future. In this book, published on the 20th anniversary of the original Toy Story’s release, Josh Spiegel examines some of the films from Pixar and Disney over the past 20 years that have embodied one of the most important lines of dialogue in Disney history, courtesy of theme-park narration: “Here, tomorrow is today. And yesterday is forever.” -- BOOK BACK COVER BLURB
