Beautiful and frustrating

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2020)

Pixar, you are great at creating visuals and touching emotions. Almost beyond compare, even. But please, please please please stop using the same predictable twists and turns over and over in every single film... Pleeeease!
In the last few days in isolation I've watched Coco, Finding Dory, The Incredibles 2, Dumbo and Wall-E. And it reached the point where I knew exactly what was going to happen in Coco 20 minutes before it happened - literally, every time. It's so frustrating because they are beautiful films, and the 1st half of each is so captivating, and I know the 2nd half of each is for children. But it's such a shame that I want to switch off as soon as the "action" starts. Because you know the ending by then, you know there are going to be 3 false endings "yay he found his dad!" - "oh no wait his dad's evil but yay his family found him!" - "oh no wait they need the picture he had 5 minutes ago" - "yay he's got the picture and the blessing but ahhhh no it got snatched away"... Come on, it's punishing. Please just end a film where it should end.
