Who doesn’t love a good Pixar movie? They do phenomenally well at the box office and typically received unanimous critical acclaim. Many Pixar films have even been nominated for Academy Awards. It doesn’t matter how old you are; Pixar is for everyone.
Parents may use their kids as an excuse to go check out the last Pixar animation in theaters, but that doesn’t mean they don’t secretly (or openly) enjoy the films themselves. Here’s a list of hilarious Pixar logic memes from the internet. There are certain things only Pixar does, and people of the internet have figured out their patterns and poked a little fun at the animation studio.
Pixar facial expression logic
Despite all of Pixar’s incredibly creative and original ideas for their stories, there is one thing they have in common. If you look at all the posters and promotional images for their movies, the main characters all make a similar facial expression. The meme pictured here is one of the original Pixar logic memes.
It’s funny to think about how animators so adept at creating lustrous worlds full of vibrant colors can’t come up with a different poster expression for their characters. Then again, maybe it’s done intentionally as a trademark or to help create a sense of continuity between all of their movies.
Frozen takes over Coco screenings
If you watched the Pixar movie, Coco, in theaters during its first few weeks of release, then you may have been treated to a special Frozen short. The problem with that Frozen short is that it ran for an entire twenty minutes, in addition to regular previews. That means when you were going to see Coco, you were forced to sit through forty minutes of content before your movie even began.
Customers would leave the theater to complain to the theater staff about being in the wrong movie. It became such a problem that Disney eventually decided to remove the Frozen short. But one has to wonder what higher-up thought adding it in was a good idea in the first place.
The balding fish father
No one can say that Pixar doesn’t pay extreme attention to detail in every single one of their films. In Finding Dory, the much-anticipated follow-up film to the beloved Finding Nemo, we see an example of this in the depiction of Dory’s dad. He has a receding hairline, on a fish! Of course, it’s not actually composed of hair.
As this Twitter user points out, it’s pretty hilarious, and clever, that the animation team thought to use his natural coloring to represent a typical dad hairline or balding pattern. Critics highly praised Finding Dory, wonder if this had anything to do with it?
Everything has feelings!
Everything in the world of Pixar has feelings! The bulk of their movies are about some kind of inanimate object or unexpected being suddenly becoming sentient. Almost every single story involves the unconventional turning animate. Whether it be toys, cars, monsters, rats, or fish, Pixar doesn’t draw the line at any particular thing or being.
If they can come up with an exciting story to tell, then nothing is off-limits. That includes feelings themselves. In the movie Inside Out, even emotions and feelings have feelings. If that’s not a paradoxical statement, I don’t know what it is. Inside Out was enormously praised so clearly the animation studio knows what they’re doing.
Death by animation
In every single Pixar movie, you will find the introductory animation of the Pixar logo. The mini lamp that jumps and skips on to the screen has become famous for its brief, but memorable appearance. As this Tumblr user points out, it is somewhat threatening if you think about it.
The lamp bursts on to the scene and crushes the letter ‘I’ before turning to the audience as if to say “you’re next.” It’s doubtful that was Pixar’s intention when they designed the logo, but who knows? Maybe it was meant as a subtle threat to all other animation studios out there. Watch your back, DreamWorks.
Me as a parent
One of the best things about Pixar movies is they generally include humor for adults. You’re not going to find any crass, R-rated comedy here, of course, this isn’t Sausage Party, but you will discover some witty jokes. Most of the time, these jokes go right over the head of the kids watching the movie.
It’s fun to rewatch your favorite Pixar films as an adult and notice the little things you might have missed when you were younger. This meme is a great and hilarious example of one. It’s also super relatable. When you need a break from your kids, why not sit in your car and listen to some heavy metal? Even monster moms do it!
Never gonna give you…
The above meme might take you a second to get, but once it clicks you’ll find it’s hilarious. We all know the infamous Rick Astley song, “Never Gonna Give You Up,” most of us have fallen prey to a Rickroll at least once in our lives. Now, what is the name of the Pixar film involving an old man, a house, and tons of balloons?
Exactly. The song title “Never Gonna Give You Up” takes on a whole new meaning when you consider it in the Pixar context. Rick Astley may be willing to share all of his other Pixar movies, but he’s keeping a close eye on this movie.
Villain hair
It’s beginning to seem like all Pixar antagonists go to the same barbershop. All four hairlines in this photo are easily recognizable to the avid Pixar fan. Each one belongs to a critical villain or rival in a Pixar movie. They have a habit of getting in the way of the protagonist’s goals or trying to steal from them.
Maybe their bitterness stems from the fact their hairlines are receding. Along those lines, does that mean the dad in Finding Dory could potentially be secretly evil? It’s not likely, but like the meme above, it’s pretty funny to think about and props to the person who recognized this hairstyle trend.
Before and after seeing Ratatouille
Maybe the average person would be disturbed by seeing a rat in the kitchen but if you’ve seen Ratatouille you know better. The entire premise of the movie is a rat who is secretly a fantastic chef. The rat, named Remy, hides beneath one man’s chef hat because the man in question is not a good cook.
However, working together in a partnership, Remy helps make him a hugely successful and renowned chef. This tweet is hilarious if you think about it in that context. Obviously, in real life you wouldn’t approach a rat you find in the kitchen but then again, if you need some cooking tips, maybe you will.
Hanging out with the kids
This might be the most relatable meme out of the whole bunch. Sure, Pixar movies are typically aimed towards a younger demographic, but they’re also designed for people of all ages to enjoy. Most people love Pixar movies. They’re heart-warming, hilarious, and usually, they contain something for people no matter what year you were born in.
If you go to a Pixar movie in theaters, you might be surprised by how many grown adults are there without children, especially if you count yourself among them! Still, it’s funny to think about it as if you were the one adult sitting in the middle of a crowd of kids.
