Fan Recreated THAT Painful Better Call Saul Scene as a Pixar-Stylized Movie
In this universe, Howard’s death wasn’t heartbreaking — it was… goofy.
Better Call Saul is a brilliant spinoff, no doubt about it. For some people, it is even better than the original show, Breaking Bad. The past of Saul Goodman was filled with many interesting stories and unexpected twists.
A creative YouTuber, Not Default Cartoons, has taken one of the most heart-stopping scenes from the show and given it a Pixar makeover. Remember that intense scene from season 6 episode 7 titled Plan and Execution?
In this episode, Jimmy and Kim are chilling at their apartment, engrossed in a movie. Out of the blue, messed-up Howard drops by, holding a bottle of the Macallan scotch whiskey.
He's there to sarcastically toast to their "win," hinting that they tarnished his good name just for kicks. The tension is palpable as neither Jimmy nor Kim fess up.
But it gets crazier. As Howard goes on with his tirade, Lalo sneaks into the room, unbeknownst to him. The sheer terror on Jimmy and Kim's faces says it all.
They desperately try to get Howard out of there, but he's clueless about the looming danger. That is, until Lalo starts attaching a silencer to his gun. The realization hits Howard just moments before Lalo coldly shoots him. The scene ends with Lalo telling a horrified Jimmy and Kim, "Let's talk."
Now, imagine all of that drama, but with the charm and whimsy of Pixar’s signature animation. Sounds wild, but that’s exactly what the YouTube video gives us. The faces of Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, and Tony Dalton are replaced with Pixar faces.
The scene is no longer that intense because of the playful music in the background and goofy sounds. It's a blend of dark drama and playfulness that you wouldn't expect to work, but it totally does. And 5.4 million views on YouTube prove it.
It’s a good thing that, thanks to technology, fans have the power to create all sorts of cool content like this. Seeing this emotionally charged scene in a Pixar style might hit you right in the nostalgia feels, reminding of the emotions you might have felt when watching Pixar movies as a kid.
