Fake Pixar Child

Producer of promotional material for animated feature films that do not exist.

Fake Pixar Child is classified within Fake Entertainment, a sector representing 3.4% of the index. Posters for films that were never made, trailers for games that do not exist, and children rendered in a style owned by a litigious corporation.

The Fake Pixar Child is the leading constituent in Fake Entertainment. The asset produces movie posters in the house style of a major animation studio, featuring a large-eyed child and a title such as 'The Boy Who Was Sad'. The films do not exist, which the Committee regards as a cost-saving. The asset has faced legal and stylistic pressure but continues to be shared by people who would like to see the film.

• Legal: the style is the property of an entity with a considerable legal department.
• Eye-size drift as models improve.
• The audience may eventually notice that no film has been released.

• Award season.
• A new studio-branded model release.
• A fake trailer, which would represent a material product extension.

Fake posters were among the first synthetic formats to be widely shared as though genuine, and the child's face remains the sector's most recognisable asset.

PIXAR eased 4.1% and remains under review. The Committee has requested evidence that any film exists and has received a second poster.
