Condemn (www.merriam-webster.com) - ": to declare to be reprehensible, wrong, or evil usually after weighing evidence and without reservation condemned as racist> "

Condemn and censure are essentially used interchangeably, it appears. "Shame on you" is what my grandma told me when I stole a cookie when she wasn't looking. Censure (or, condemnation) is what happens to Joseph McCarthy for conducting himself "contrary to Senate traditions (www.ourdocuments.gov)" for his communism witch hunts. I don't think they carry the same connotative "weight." Denotatively, I suppose it is technically a form of censure.

However, if I wanted to condemn Pixar, I most certainly would have said something along the lines of "Fuck you in your fucking face holes, Pixar! You're ass raping something beautiful here. LEAVE MY GODDAM CHILDHOOD ALONE." That is condemnation, or at least a close approximation.

Also, just because it's one of your favorite albums doesn't make it Pixar-appropriate. Randy Newman set the tone with the original Pixar movie, Toy Story (www.youtube.com). There are standards, and they shouldn't be tossed aside for the novelty of "Look! A metal band is collaborating with a kids movie company!" In the same way I will likely never enjoy savory ice cream or Bjork's fashion choices, innovation is not necessarily endearing.
