seriously

have you seen the shit they’ve done? LIKE EVER???

and even moreso, have you seen their behind-the-scenes? they do research until they can’t fucking breathe

for cars, they took michael wallace, the fucking author of a book all about Route 66, and went on a road trip ON ROUTE 66 WITH THIS GUY and he told them about everything as they went and they videotaped a lot of it

and then they had him be the voice of Sheriff as well

(also the video of E.J. [voice of DJ] trying to eat that huge steak is just way too cute omfg)

AND THEN TOY STORY 3 HOLY SHIT ARE YOU EVEN

they went to like 100 daycares to get a feel for them, and then watched literal dozens of heist/spy movies

and then we’ll just have to see for Brave but by the looks of it, it’s going to be fucking crazy insane awesome.

and americans have???? been loving on the idea of Day of the Dead recently??? a lot of american folk get DotD tattoos and there’s even a cool song by Voltaire about it (but I think he’s Spanish anyway so I think that’s given)

PLEASE STOP THE WHOLE HATE THING WITH IT, I KNOW THE GUY WHO’S DIRECTING IT

HE’S GOING TO DO FINE. They try so hard to research as much as possible so they can avoid offending people AND give the best story as they possibly freaking can.

THANK YOU GOODNIGHT -sincerely an adoring pixar fan
