Disney has had its up and downs over the years in terms of film quality. No one can deny, however, that they reached a high when they united with Pixar Animation Studios and created a multitude of high quality animated films. Movies like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Up, Cars, and Monsters Inc, all attained critical and commercial success and for many people (including me), these films shaped their childhood. One of the defining elements of these films is the musical scores that accompany them. The music was the main focus last night when the National Symphony Orchestra played songs from nearly every Pixar film produced in the last 20 years. Along with the music, clips from each film were shown on screens in the lawn and the theater. All together, the show really took you through each film and highlighted the emotional parts they really made each one stand out. For me, it made me realize how good these movies really are and the high quality of the film making. Overall, I really enjoyed the show and it really was a revisiting of my childhood.
While the lawn was almost completely full, the show itself was pretty quiet and our job was pretty easy. There were a lot of kids but there were no problems and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The weather also held up and once again, it seemed like the rain stopped just for the show. The cloud cover also kept the temperature and the humidity down. It was a really pleasant night and as always, Im looking forward to more shows in the future!
Deciding my favorite part of the show was hard since there were so many of my favorite films being screened. In the end though, nothing hit my feelings more than the opening scene of Up. Not only a highlight of the film, but also a significant filmmaking accomplishment.
