Hooray for Hollywood: Jordan Strange

Pete Docter.

He's a pretty cool guy. And he also directed some pretty cool movies.

Specifically Up & The Incredibles. :)

I'm not really into movies or going to the movies. So this prompt was a little bit difficult.

Anyways. In these two movies, there's not a lot that is the same. They're very different movies with very different plot lines, but there are still very minor similarities. Such as the "underdog" villains that reappear after seemingly disappearing. They both try to dominate everyone and everything. But in both films, they fail. Because villains just cannot win in any way in a Disney movie. Also in these movies, you see a protective figure doing his best for those he cares for. You see Mr. Incredible trying very hard to protect his family from the dangers of his job, and then in Up, you see Carl doing what he can to protect Russell, who was like a grandson to him. Even if these people got hurt or risked their lives, it was okay, because it was all for the sake of the people they cared about. But this happens in a lot of movies, so it's not a huge similarity. They also both take place on very odd most likely unknown islands or countries. No one inhabits the places that are the settings in these movies. They're both exotic, too.

There are more differences than similarities. In The Incredibles, they have super powers, very unrealistic, but cool. And they are fighting against this large agency that is targeting the "Supers." In Up, we see a man pursue his biggest dreams of living in Paradise Falls. He does everything he can to avoid moving to an assisted living and to make his & his wife's dreams come true. In Up, we meet Kevin and Doug and a plethora of other animals that make the film exciting. In The Incredibles, there's a larger battle that's being fought.

Both of these films are awesome. Pete Docter is awesome. Disney is awesome.
