Why do you think that? I watch "surface level" movies all the time because they are relaxing. I don't want to watch Midsommar or Memento all the time. Sometimes, I just want to watch a cute movie about an old man finding happiness again by going on an adventure.

And I don't really get emotionally manipulative. All movies are trying to manipulate your emotions.

Nayrt - I agree with what above anon is saying about Pixar going heavy on the pathos, but “emotionally manipulative”, I think, can also carry this connotation of cynicism on the thought process of the makers and might be what OP is getting at.

(If it’sthe latter, I don’t think I agree with it wrt to the Pixar work I’ve seen. At least, I think there’s genuine thoughtfulness behind the pathos and its presentation, plus the fallout from it all and its potential for character growth, rather than a “well, we know this is sad or bittersweet so we’ll throw it in there carelessly.”)
