I want to study the materials and themes of Pixar animated films based on cross-cultural communication and integration.Pixar is very good at drawing from different cultural backgrounds and digging into the core, and their team of creators is from all over the world.They are involved in and understand different cultures. After the selection of topic, the story and characters are packaged and embellished to convey to the audience a view of culture and values, which also plays a certain guiding role.They do not understand other cultures from a one-sided identity and perspective, but are good at digging into the most universal and resonant points in the core of other cultures. However, at the same time, the problem is that such traditions and values handed down from other cultures are far from and even run counter to the traditional values of Western countries and even many eastern countries.Pixar cleverly avoided the contentious points, using emotion as a bond to convey some of the culture’s core core.On the other hand, the Pixar company in the United States will also export a lot of American culture. Examples include individualism and collectivism, heroism and adventure, feminism and so on.
