Josh Spiegel’s new book, Yesterday is Forever: Nostalgia and Pixar Animation Studios, is a critical study of the 20-year filmography of Pixar Animation Studios, and how the company’s use of cutting-edge technology is designed for stories that look back at the past with fondness. This video essay compares Toy Story and Cars, and how similar stories of nostalgia are at opposite ends of the spectrum of timelessness. You can purchase Spiegel’s book now at The Critical Press.
