Awesome Montage Takes Heart-Warming Look at '25 Years of Pixar'

Recently we've featured some cool video montages highlighting the work of Christopher Nolan and some of cinema's finest opening title sequences. Now we have yet another fantastic look back at a niche in motion pictures as the folks at Go Into the Story (via SlashFilm) recently found this amazing montage titled 25 Years of Pixar. The video lovingly looks back at Pixar's work from the infancy of their short films in the 80's all the way up to their forthcoming sequel Cars 2 which hits theaters this summer. If you love Pixar as much as I do, then you'll love this fond look back into the past and may even have a few tears to wipe away.
YouTube usuer NkMcDonalds put together these scenes from Pixar's expansive filmography (his list of music for the montage can be found here), and it really reminds you just how impressive and consistently fantastic their films have been. Honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like at least one Pixar film, and nearly every child is more than familiar with Buzz Lightyear or Lightning McQueen. This montage is also evidence of how powerful films can be by inciting emotions and feelings through characters we've known only for a mere 90 minutes. Pixar truly has truly left a mark on my life as a child and as a film-lover. How about you?

I live thousands of kilometres away from America, in what is largely considered a third-world country.. and that was my childhood too.

Nice use of Sigur Ros! "Hoppipolla" is a beautiful song. This was a great montage, really had heart much like most Pixar films.

while i'm sick of Pixar montages, this guy just nailed it! i mean, the Sunshine score and Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros are super overused... but they really are the best. And the way Pixar is going about storytelling, it feels as epic as these songs. (Damn I wish they hadn't made Cars (still a good movie)). Plus, the final selections of the Toy Story 3 inferno (most intense thing Pixar has ever done), and then the Wall-E yelp was the perfect way to end it. And, super weird coincidence: the "I'm Sheriff Woody Howdy howdy howdy' is my favorite joke in any Pixar movie". Basically, this guy read my mind

lane "Hoppipolla" will never be overused...no Sigur Ros song could ever be overused.

Gah! As if Pixar movies wouldn't make me weep more than any other movies already, this montage had to use John Murphy's Sunshine theme! Not fair!

Hey guys, here's one I made a while back just before Toy Story 3. Not trying to toot my own horn, but just spreading some Pixar love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb11utQ-emw

My childhood was more than just the Pixar...what about WB ? And now Dreamworks do much better animated movies than Pixar....
David Darida on Mar 30, 2011

there are only 3 good dreamwork animated films. Shrek, Kung fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon. the drove Shrek into the ground with horrible sequels and look like they are trying to do the same with kung fu panda. Pixar constantly puts out iconic movies. there really is not contest. End of story

Pixar is one of my all time favorite content providers. The only regret that I can see is their relationship with Disney kind of tarnishes it. Fantastic job on the montage. I like that you even included some of their earlier work. I haven't seen any other Pixar montage, so I don't have anyone to compare against. Additionally, thank you for the exposure to Sigur Ros - I'm sure I've heard his/her music in a movie or two, but I never had a name to go with it.

Re: Bad Fairy... YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE! Re: Nashapro... Maybe they didn't have a childhood. Maybe they just woke up one day a complete jerk who has no soul. We should not berate those who are less fortunate than the rest of us LOL

This proves one point, and one point only. Pixar Studios is the king of animation. That had everything to do with my childhood ever, and it was perfected into five minutes. Reflecting on it only makes it more memorable.
