After the New York Knicks lost a heartbreaking Game 7 to the Indiana Pacers in the NBA playoffs on Sunday, Pixar brought back up a joke from its 2020 animated film Soul.
The joke involved the generational misfortunes of the Knicks franchise, which stems in the movie Soul from some meddling in the soul realm.
A Twitter (X) user brought up the joke as having “aged like fine wine,” with the animation house sharing in response, “We apologize to the Knicks for 22’s behavior last night.”
That’s actually pretty funny, unless you’re a Knicks fan. If you cheer for New York, you might decide to ignore Pixar movies for a while and watch something from DreamWorks Animation instead.
Shrek doesn’t make fun of the Knicks, after all.
