Spoiler Does Nintendo Have a Thing for Pixar?

[nicktheslayer]

I've noticed in some recent Zelda games there seems to be some Pixar love. I can only think of two examples, and maybe they're coincidences, but...

I dunno, can you guys find any more like these?

The thing from this new Zelda Wii U trailer looks a lot like the mechanical monster featured in the movie The Incredibles.

I had to use an alternative dub, no doubt Disney/Pixar are stingy about their properties on YouTube.

Also, lets not forget Tentalus being the giant offspring of Mike and Celia from Monster's Inc.!

So, is this coincidence? Can you think of any more?

I'd say coincidence. There are simply so many movies that use different kind of characters and monsters these days that some of them have to look a like. That Celia is actually an animated Medusa, but I wouldn't compare Zelda with Hercules or something like that. Pixar and Zelda might have the same sources of inspiration, but I don't see the resemblance.

Sullivan and Mike confirmed for Smash

Yeah I thought Tentalus looked a lot Monsters Inc-y too, but I'd say just a coincidence.

Volvigia totally ripped off smaug. Harry Potter is Pixar right?
