Pixar goes anti-war with a new cartoon

Well, it sure seems that way. A new movie called "Terra" is coming out, and the invading baddies here are the humans (Hat tip: Newsbusters):
It's a familiar tale, but there's a twist: The invaders are human, and the townsfolk are the salamander-like, peaceful victims who must rise up against the monsters.

"It's not anti-human," says producer Keith Calder, who adds the movie shows the good and bad of our own species.
Really, Mr. Calder? Then explain this, please:
In the tradition of sci-fi invasion tales, Terra is loaded with allegories about imperialism. "It touches on a lot of current issues and shows a sense of responsibility for actions," Calder says.
Perhaps if this had been a movie in which the humans were characterized as futuristic Muslim conquestors, or even futuristic German nazis, then maybe we could accept that this isn't anti-human, but, if they're not making any clear distinctions and just using humans in and of themselves as the enemies here, then they simply don't have a leg to stand on. I don't suppose then that Calder might be willing to take responsibility for his actions? Besides, moral equivalency, if he's espousing it, just simply won't do.

If that's how they're going to go about their business, all I can say then is boos to Pixar animation, and they have no further business to do with us!

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
