WAIT... Remember Pixel Perfect?

Ойын-сауық

Pixel Perfect is just one of those Disney channel Original Movies that was never quite up there with the DCOM greats, but it was still so memorable for the absurd logic and kind of being ahead of it's time. Today, let's dig into Pixel Perfect!

    This is one of those DCOMs that sticks with you. If not for the story, then the underline message about chasing perfection instead of accepting what's real and right in front of you. I especially liked the conversation between Roscoe and his dad, and what Loretta said to Samantha near the end. "Samantha you get to be the dreamer, but all I'll ever be is the dream". You don't get powerful lines like that in movies made for kids and young teens anymore.

    I really enjoyed that aspect of the movie, how he realized the artificial girl of his dreams will never take the place of a real girl with real emotions. At the same time it doesn't invalidate Loretta's side of the story, who wanted to be seen as more than just a girlfriend. So the ending, where Roscoe and Sam get together and Loretta gets her freedom is a happy ending for all three characters. A lot of movies don't strike the right balance between the characters for their ending, and some characters get left in the dust. Pixel Perfect does that.

I remember hearing Loretta sing the last line of Notice Me with a high pass filter during the "live performance" and thinking it was super cool because she's a hologram and can do her own vocal effects and such. It also sent me on a long crusade to find out the effect was called a high pass because I started hearing it in other songs and didn't know what it was. It was just "the Pixel Perfect voice" to me growing up.

    I miss a lot of the old tv disney movies, even stevens movie, smart house, life size, luck of the irish, the 13th year, the little vampire, underwraps, twitches, etc, etc. The early to mid 2000's was a time to be alive. Pixel Perfect lowkey predicted Hatsune Miku and AI, but in all seriousness I feel the movie covered a lot of deeper tones, I still remember a scene where his father reflects on his marriage and how his expectations for the perfect person in his life ruined his chances in finding love, basicly holding people to high standards of perfection when we are imperfect beings only leads to disconnection and isolation

    If you're doing Disney channel movies, ya gotta cover those series of movies with those brothers. I forget their names but one is the classic "city dude goes to the farm" and another is "dudes get stranded on an island" plot. If you do shows PLEASE cover So Weird. I loved that show.
