    Conclusion
    * Well, we learned that this animation studio was truly a revolutionary one. They w
    ere certainly a very amazing and entertaining company.
    Animated films find themselves doubly-dismissed as for the kids and therefore
    nothing to take too seriously. Pixar has shattered those expectations by producing
    commercially successful cinematic art about the fishes in our fish tanks and the bu
    gs in our backyards and many more.
    *The relationship between humans and the non-human characters is critical to unde
    rstanding Pixars movies. Through Pixar, we have opened ourselves to a better fut
    ure.
