(I like how the pixar guy said that it's all about having a good story, while the ren & stimpy guy says that good drawing is more important than the story)
- Psyonic 16y agoI realize this isn't proof of anything, but Pixar is a hell of a lot more successful than Ren & Stimpy. Perhaps that means something.
- cakesy 16y agoPixar targets the lowest common denominator, and make movies (I am not insulting them, their movies are amazing, and also target an intelligent audience). Ren & Stimpy creators made TV shows, and targeted a niche or clever teens who enjoy being grossed out.
- aohtsab 16y agoI don't think either's success can be compared accurately — one is a behemoth of a company and the other operates on a much, much smaller scale. Besides, Ren & Stimpy did garner a sizeable cult following (not including myself) — and quantifying interest in a cult classic isn't as simple as tracking purchases. Perhaps a better comparison would be Pixar vs. Nickelodeon.
