He accidentally crosses over to the Land of the Dead, where he tries to track down a famous musician he believes might be his long-lost great-great-grandfather.Ĭoco was the first Pixar movie to feature an all-Latinx cast - a valuable and necessary measure in a film that depicts a specifically Mexican culture. Miguel is a 12-year-old boy who longs to be a musician, even though music is forbidden in his family.

A loving return to some enduring Pixar themes - family, memory, mortality - Coco is also a thoughtful tribute to Mexican culture, specifically the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos and the vision of an afterlife where dead relatives wait for their annual chance to visit the land of the living. If I was ranking the Pixar movies most guaranteed to make you cry, Coco might finish at the top of that list. And it’s got Merida and her relationship with her mother at its center. Telling a princess story might be stepping on parent-company Disney’s toes a little bit, but, as Merida works to right her mistakes, Brave comes around to the universal message of following your heart without hurting the people around you. Merida seeks out a spell from a witch that she hopes will allow her to follow her dreams of independence, but she winds up transforming her mother Elinor into a bear. Merida, voiced by Kelly Macdonald, clashes with her mother, Elinor, voiced by Emma Thompson, who wants her to agree to follow tradition and get married. They arrive to compete for her hand in marriage, but Merida beats them all in the contest. Brave is the story of Merida, a princess of a Medieval Scottish clan, who is set to be married off to one of several boys from neighboring clans. Cars 2 (2011)įinally, nearly two decades after the release of Toy Story, we’ve got a Pixar film that unambiguously features a female main character. And the child who winds up lovingly taking in Andy’s hand-me-downs by the end of the film is a little girl, Bonnie, so we’ll give this one a “maybe” when it comes to female main characters and stay optimistic for the upcoming Toy Story 4. Potato Head are part of the crew - though they’re all paired off with male toys. Even though Woody and Buzz are the stars, Jessie, Barbie and Mrs.

They then have to find their way back to Andy (again) while dealing with a twisted teddy bear named Lotso and his henchmen. All of Andy’s toys are packed up in a box marked for the attic, but they wind up getting accidentally donated to a local daycare instead. Toy Story 3 returns to the themes of loss and mortality that came up in the first two - after all, every child grows out of their toys eventually - but with Andy heading off to college, the threats to the toys’ relevancy is more urgent. The third film in the Toy Story franchise is even more of an ensemble film than the second, but Woody and Buzz, now iconic Pixar characters, still dominate the show. To measure just how rare it is in the Pixar canon, I decided to take a look at just how many of the studio’s feature films thus far (not including the upcoming Incredibles 2) have had female main characters. Focusing on Elastigirl instead of her husband seems to make Incredibles 2 a rare female-led Pixar film. According to reviews, the storyline deals with Elastigirl heading back to work as a superhero while her husband, the protagonist of the first movie, stays home with the kids. The new Incredibles 2 focuses on the mom of the film’s central superhero family: Elastigirl, voiced by Holly Hunter. Rashida Jones told the New York Times in 2017 that she and her writing partner Will McCormick - who had, at one point, been working on the screenplay for Toy Story 4 - parted ways with the studio because of, as Jones put it, “a culture where women and people of color do not have an equal creative voice.”

A 2017 Vanity Fair story was headlined, “Pixar’s Had a Problem With Women for Decades,” and cited allegations of inappropriate behavior against studio co-founder John Lasseter and the startlingly low percentage of major writing credits on Pixar films that have gone to women.

But when it comes to female characters, Pixar has seemed to struggle.
