He would sit on a bench. Bluebeard was a traditional tale told to children, and since then it has had several reinterpretations. It was taken as a proud event for Pixar to bring back the classics with fervent color, while on the other hand it also had a small space in the revival of the Brothers Grimm tales, a little more attached to how a story should be treated—a story that tells everything directly, leaving no room for interpretation.
Meanwhile, the blessed Pixar film is a good novel for portraying princesses this time, telling the story of a man in love with a young woman and a father who, out of ambition, leaves her at the castle of the great Bluebeard, while the brothers go to war on French territory, evoking the power of the tale. These are tales that belong not to men, but rather to the judicious work of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, who sought to rescue the oral tradition of their countries. They could be said to have rescued these tales from the fables that people had—separate and totally fervent.
Pixar used the emblem of tragedy, of dreams, the strength of the woman who stands up to her family.
—I think it has your signature. —Willisck commented to Anna Sczymanka, who was in charge of narrating the story through actions and characters. Very differently, the innocence of the young girl was characterized by the simplicity of how princesses are presumed to be, always wanting something from someone who gives them satisfaction, very much on the absurd side, which is always resolved, and how it came to life, how Bluebeard was portrayed in a critical way, deceiving and weaving. It repeated how he manipulated women to make them hollow, empty, and full of flaws. Despite everything, Sol, the protagonist, was pure of heart and lived among sighs, with a sweet voice like a robin, making those who saw her again treat her with deference.
While the boy who loved her was totally available, he was afraid, panicked at seeing what was happening before his eyes, at seeing how opulence and the ambition of the castle began to corrupt Sol. It was all Bluebeard's magic. Oliver, the protagonist, hears of Bluebeard's five marriages, and the diabolical past of the wealthy man—from being a sick illegitimate child to a handsome young man, full of evil and deceit.
Until a grieving landowner, a bourgeois in silks, and a great fearful scholar tell the stories, and how Bluebeard is considered a vampire, a devil, a true demon who only wishes to use women, to deceive them forever, with that dark deal that makes him one of the shadowy enemies for children. Bluebeard thus denotes the image of a being who little by little returns to the image of a great children's film, while telling how the girl is used, loses her mind, and falls into the curse, along with the deceit, the abuse of Bluebeard, and the whole spectacle of being a princess. It ends with the help of her brothers, who are woodcutters, and her lover, defeating Bluebeard and burying him with his treasures at the bottom of the ocean.
—The script was written a long time ago, Billy, and I'm afraid it was very good at adapting it, and well, some ideas came up as we worked. It was almost as if we knew everything would go smoothly. —Anna Scymanzka replied, with a kind of tragic response that seeped into Pixar's characters, which, in her opinion, had hired Anna for those projects that required totally dark animation.
—I think we have something positive. —Willicks replied.
—I think nothing will be as good as the next film. —Jeff Camelo commented, with Madagascar. It was a work of art on the level of Nemo, which a while ago made 600 million at the box office, and was the great relief for the companies, squaring debts excellently, then squaring the franchise expansion debts in New York and in Ireland with simple numbers that hit the hearts of executives when the Pixar brand was synonymous with quality, synonymous with entertainment, where children wanted to see them so they could tell their friends about them in the following months.
Nothing was as gratifying as Billy's use of success, two months after making Autodesk's public offering that would crown him in the guild of wealth, while selling his shares to the highest bidder at exorbitant prices, while continuing to buy companies with his own money, signing that software was the future, moving into business schemes that only burned money. Pixar was the oasis in the desert, along with Lux Comics and Id Software, which generated the best returns.
And the next ones were investment pools, taking advantage of the economic market that people were now living in.
—I'm afraid the company will continue to surpass itself day by day, and our names in ten years will be for some a living image of wealth. —Wilisck replied serenely, who had a more hardworking and opportunistic idea of his time at Pixar, but he was unaware that without the team, he was just another replaceable person who would not adapt to working with the rigorous technical and bureaucratic teams.
