My Take
Stanton belongs to that rare class of filmmakers who can make you cry over a fish or a trash-compacting robot, and I think the secret is his Massachusetts coastal upbringing bleeding quietly into films like Finding Nemo. Two Best Animated Feature Oscars confirm his craft, but what fascinates me is that he writes as much as he directs, building entire worlds line by line. John Carter is remembered as a flop, yet I respect the ambition behind his swing at live-action. He's a builder, not a showman, and that restraint is exactly why his stories endure across generations.
