Are cars born or built? I mean does every car have parents who created them or are vehicles being produced in major factories all across the world? Can we say definitively that these cars are just hyper intelligent robots or do they actually have a biological component to them that proves that they’re alive? Does someone make the cars or are there little car babies somewhere? Today I want to explore this evolving debate in the Worl...

Shrek’s family tree has expanded quite a bit since Shrek originally married Fiona! Shrek’s met some new friends, he’s had a few children, and he’s gotten to know some of his in-laws, and today I’m going to go through who everyone is, how everyone’s related, and answer what this all means for the future of Far Far Away. After 20 years of Shrek, we’re finally bringing it all together. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐...

What happened to Earth in The Wild Robot? I mean when I saw the Golden Gate Bridge underwater, I immediately assumed something bad must have happened here! I knew we were in the not so distant future since we were shown that Roz was a hyper intelligent robot, but I wasn’t expecting there to be monuments in ruin, satellite dishes deteriorating in the desert, and whole cities underwater! I mean humans even had contamination protocols...

How will everything that happened lead into Moana 3? It’s ti...

Will How To Train Your Dragon’s live action remake be good?

How are cars alive in the World of Pixar's Cars? I mean we’ve always known that cars had eyes and mouths, but for the longest time I never asked: "Why?" I accepted that all vehicles were conscious entities who had their own desires and dreams, but over the last few years, I’ve begun to become obsessed with how the cars function and where they truly come from. Are they some kind of super intelligent robots or are they organic creatu...

Did you know that Moana could’ve been a 2D animated film? It’s true! Early into production there was a debate around whether Moana should be animated using the popular 3D techniques of the time or whether they should continue the legacy of hand drawn animation that the studio had pioneered. But this debate didn’t just affect Moana. The decision to create this story in CGI led to the complete abandonment of traditional animation at ...

Why couldn’t Lightning McQueen beat Jackson Storm? I mean I understand that he was getting older, but Lightning was one of the greatest race cars of all time! How is it possible that the winner of seven Piston Cups couldn’t figure out a way to best him?

How did Doc Hudson die? I mean The Fabulous Hudson Hornet was a racing legend who spent his final years as the crew chief for one of the greatest race cars of all time - Lightning McQueen - so how is it possible that he couldn’t be repaired?

How did the Pandas in Kung Fu Panda forget how to use chi? Well according to The Paws of Destiny, pandas originally became deeply connected to chi hundreds of years ago because the pandas established their first village above the source of all chi in the universe known as the Wellspring.
