Our top 5 best Disney/Pixar productions in 2022

Who says new year says the opportunity for us to come back with you to our top 5 best productions Disney/Pixar of the year 2022.

1) Red alert: Pixar production with an important message

Released on March 11 on Disney+, this animated film Pixar takes us to the heart of a key period in the life of all human beings: the transition from childhood to adolescence, and in which Meilin Lee, The protagonist of history, will have to learn to manage all the emotions that jostle her … under penalty of bringing out the giant red panda that is in her.

We can only emphasize the choice to put the red panda at the heart of the scenario, which in addition to being ultra cute, evokes a lot about adolescence, such as body change, the appearance of hairs, menstruation ..

With a completely new style for studios Pixar, Red alert is funny production than ever while succeeding in the bet to convey, through this film, strong values ​​such as the importance of the family, the sense of friendship ..

Finally, we cannot deny that the whirlwind of emotions, which arouses, in our heart, the passage from childhood to adolescence as evoked by this work, is reminiscent of the time by which we all spent at some point. Without forgetting the many references to the 2000s … an innovative creation that can arouse nostalgia for the older ones as a current or future period for the youngest.

It is therefore not surprising that this animated film appears at the forefront of our top as the main subject is addressed to perfection, without taboo, with humor and a lot of pep while the theme is complex. A real feat from studios to the lamp.

2) Pinocchio: a live Disney action rather faithful to its classic.

With this new adaptation in real shots, released in September 2022, the studios Disney have taken the bet to revisit the classic animation Pinocchio.

The live action takes up the common thread of its classic by allowing us to follow the story of a wooden puppet that has become a real little boy. This remake generally follows its classic with however a few small adaptations which do not make it a simple copy, especially by the temperament of Pinocchio which is, in the film, much wiser and fearful than originally.

We salute the end of this live action which is much more open to the future of Pinocchio And its real outcome, which gives this achievement a more philosophical meaning as to wanting to be a real little boy. Which makes it even more poignant than its classic end.

The resumption of an animation classic in a film made in real shooting is a risk that the Walt Disney Company. Hit or miss. The loyalty of the scenario to its reference film, mixed with some touching adaptations and messages inserted in the film, make this production Disney One of the outings we wanted to emphasize in this top. If you haven’t looked at it yet, we can only encourage you to do so.

Zootopia+: this Disney production that made us laugh in 2022.

Arrival in November 2022 on the platform Disney+ mini-series Zootopia+ will delight the biggest fans of the classic Disney Zootopia. This series of six small episodes plunges us back in the animal metropolis in the middle of the emblematic characters to which we had attached ourselves in the cartoon and perfectly respects the spirit of the film.

Zootopia+, It is a summary of funny and both brilliant stories for which the writers did not lack creativity. We will also highlight the efforts made by production for the quality of the proposed animation.

The episode that will have the most taped, by the intelligence of work and research provided by the directors, is that of the “godfather” which is a beautiful tribute to the history of Little Italy in New York.

This series is therefore a perfect complement to his film and pays him a beautiful tribute while waiting for the release of Zootopia 2.

It is therefore not surprising that this mini-series occupies 3rd place in our top 5 of the best productions Disney-Pixar 2022.

4) HOCUS POCUS 2: Disney production with a resounding return

If there was a long -awaited sequel in 2022, it was that of Hocus Pocus, And it was after 29 years of patience that the second opus is making a comeback.

The extravagance of the three Machiavellian Witch Sisters had conquered the public in the early 90s, so much so that almost three decades later, this production Disney crossed the ages while meeting the same success.

We will highlight the faithful choice of having kept the original cast of the three sisters. Without them, the rendering would not have been the same. As for adolescents, with a dynamic character, speakers in the film, the least we can say is that they are completely in the era of time without stealing the show with the three witches. Indeed, the sisters Sanderson remain the bad guys in the heart of history, as in the first part.

Even if the Machiavellian side of siblings is somewhat softened, one can only be touched by the promotion of the emotional bond that unites them, which makes them all the more endearing. Some will see it, of course, an open door to fragility and benevolence, Antonyms to the very principle of history, but that does not prevent this second part from making a real winning return.

5) Super Christmas – The series: a Disney series surfing on the success of a successful trilogy

This Christmas series, released a little before the holiday season, is the continuity of the heritage made up of the trilogy Great Christmas (Super Christmas, Hyper Christmas and Super Christmas 3 – Mongeries) Staging the actor Tim Allen in the role of Santa Claus.

As said so well Ayo Davis, co-president of Disney Branded Television, Bringing back this franchise in the form of a series is a real gift as it has had a lasting impact on many families for whom to look at this trilogy at the end of the end of the year has become a real tradition.

The fact that Tim Allen Save his costume from Santa Claus And that there are also other actors that appeared during the three installments is a good omen as to the success of this series.

A success even when the end of the series had not been broadcast ? One thing is certain, the last episode had not yet been released when Disney announced the renewal of this series with the arrival of a season for 2023.

Super Christmas – The series Bring young and old a real moment of fairyland and magic to share with the family around a good hot chocolate and will even be able to plunge adults into their childhood memories.
