In the world of children's movies, there is no right age to enjoy. You can be a child, teenager or even an adult, regardless of your age, Pixar movies will always make your family come together and be moved by the stories.
In 1986, Pixar Animation Studios was created and since then has grown into a successful company, bringing new and amazing graphic effects to cinemas around the world. We can see innocence as a golden key in his films, bringing several important messages to children and adults alike.
However, a child's feelings are completely different from an adult's feelings. For children, the world is still seen with different eyes, there is no evil, everything ends with a happy ending, for adults, the reality is completely different and even if browsing Pixar movies is a way to escape the real world and dreaming, there are moments and perceptions that only adults can perceive. We separate some examples in which these elements are imperceptible to the eyes of children.
In some films, Pixar has delivered stronger messages for adults than for children. We made a list for you to remember.
Ratatouille: O Bullying
In 2007, Pixar released the movie Ratatouille, the plot tells the story of a mouse with a keen taste, who met a young man named Alfredo and helped him become a great chef. When the feared food critic arrives at the restaurant where Alfredo and Rémy (the mouse) work, he tastes the dish Ratatouille, which reminds him of his childhood times and the schoolmates who bothered him.
He remembers that his mother made this dish and that when he got home, it was the time of day when he felt completely happy and protected. Although it is a sad story, for children he was seen as a villain, but in the eyes of adults, he became this cold person due to the bullying he suffered at school, that is, he was just another victim of this violence that unfortunately many people still suffer.
Up High Adventures: Love and Death
For those who watched this movie, you know very well how exciting it is and that the story brings quite complex feelings to children, who still can't understand the intensity of the events. The film was released in 2009, telling the story of a couple, Ellie and Carl, who met during childhood and fall in love, building a life together. Ellie ends up losing the child she was expecting and dies within the first ten minutes of the film.
Soon after, Carl goes on with his life in search of achieving a dream he shared with his late wife, to visit Paradise Falls. Although the beginning is sad, the story soon becomes interactive, taking away that air of sadness, as soon as the house flies away due to several balloons. Surely these first ten minutes of the movie made many adults get emotional and identify with the story.
Toy Story 3: The Inevitable Death and Farewell
After so many years, Toy Story returned to theaters with another unforgettable film, thus marking the end of the story with young Andy, who has just entered adulthood and is going to college. The film was released in the year 2010, after 11 years of the second film in the story. Toy Story left many life lessons and one of them was the hardest decision they ever made, to accept death. We're talking about the scene where the puppets are slipping through a pile of burning garbage.
They fight death, but they realize that they are trapped and that there is nothing more to do. Undoubtedly it is a moment that marked a lot not only for children, but especially for adults who are able to assimilate things that children still cannot. The great lesson of all this is that death is inevitable and dealing with it is not an easy task. There were a few minutes of suffocation that soon after were completely wiped out of the children's heads, with their salvation. Another remarkable moment was Andy's farewell with the dolls. In the scene he gives his dolls to a little girl and leaves, which symbolizes the boy's farewell to his childhood for his adult life. It's a scene that moves adults a lot, especially parents seeing their children growing up.
The Incredibles: Betrayal

Bob, Ellen and their three children live a quiet life, which Bob is not satisfied with.

Living a double life, without telling the truth to his family, his wife Helen notices something strange about her husband and soon suspects that she is being betrayed. The story enters the minds of many adults, after all, it is something that many couples have gone through. The plot unfolds through Helen's distrust, but the story has a happy ending, like any cartoon.
Wall-E: Love
Wall-E is a movie that enchanted people's hearts with its sweet and innocent story.

Without a doubt The Lion King is one of Pixar's biggest hits. The film was released in 1994, and one of the most dramatic situations is the death of Mufasa, Simba's father, which was caused by his own brother Scar, who wanted in every way to take his throne. Scar blames his nephew for being responsible for his own father's death and this causes him to walk away and abandon his family.
Simba meets Timon and Pumbaa, who become his best friends, teaching him the meaning of Hakuna Matata (long life), being the happy spirit of the movie. It is only after many years that he discovers the truth about his father's death and returns to his throne. Dealing with the death of a parent is not easy and the film shows exactly that family is not chosen.
