@CrabCake: You're forgetting the period after The Jungle Book and before The Little Mermaid, when only The Rescuers didn't suck.

Uh? The Fox and the Hound, The Black Cauldron, and especially The Great Mouse Detective were all great movies.

So were The Aristocats and Robin Hood.

To each his own, but nonetheless, still nowhere near what they became in 1989 with The Little Mermaid

And there's a reason Don Bluth gave up and started his own thing at that point.

The Little Mermaid is pretty overrated though. It's all right, but I've never understood why it's considered such a game changer from Disney.

Speaking of overrated Disney films, am I the only person who doesn't get all of the Frozen hype? I mean, it wasn't a bad film, but I wouldn't consider the greatest Disney film of all time or anything like that, so I have a hard time understanding what made it become so popular...

I find Pixar incredibly overrated, though I haven't seen Inside Out yet.

There isn't a single one of their films I'd want to watch with any frequency. I don't like the Toy Story movies from the aggravating premise--the plot's created by miscommunication and stupidity. Finding Nemo was ruined for me by my sister watching it non-stop for months, A Bug's Life is like a sanitized version of Antz mixed with Seven Samurai, everything good about The Incredibles was done better by Watchmen, Up is a solid short film dragging an extremely mediocre feature behind it, Wall-E is incredibly preachy, Brave is okay but unremarkable, Monster's Inc. is a movie predicated on idiots doing idiotic things to create a plot, and don't even get me started on the Cars movies. I have zero interest in even watching Ratatouille for a first time.

Every truly cultured music student knows you must learn your scales and your arpeggios...

But yeah, while I do prefer traditional animation, Pixar is still a wonderful studio.

everything good about The Incredibles was done better by Watchmen,

Anyone who considers Watchmen a good film loses all credibility.

Did I say it was? I consider Watchmen a deeply flawed film (one that I have no desire to see again) with some very interesting ideas in it. Both Watchmen and The Incredibles critique the superhero genre in very similar ways, but Watchmen does it better and did it first (the comic, at least). There simply isn't anything in The Incredibles that isn't hopelessly derivative of better films.

It's better than any of the OH SO SERIOUS Batman movies or almost anything out of the recent Marvel Canon.

Well, Watchmen is very flawed. I like it, and watch it from time to time, but it's not perfect.

And can't we like both Marvel and DC? Tongue

I'm sure Marvel would be fine if it were done by a competent Director with any visual panache or sense of satire. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case in any of those movies, even Kenneth Bragnah's output is dull and half hearted. Watchman at least had some visual panache.

Planning on seeing it this week. By the looks of it, it's another big hit for Pixar.

Indeed! I just saw it, it's beautiful. I've been saying this a lot recently (what with Big Hero 6 and the Lego Movie), but it's again one of the best animated movies I've seen. I really don't see how anyone could be nostalgic of the past when we're blessed to live in a time when we get so many great animated movies.

That's a great song, too.

That's where I stand with the short that came before it,...with the volcanoes...utterly saccharine  :b



But the film itself,  Free Bird might be understating it.

Yeah, the short was surprisingly bland compared to the stuff Pixar usually produces. Didn't those use to be silent anyway?

It utterly boggles my mind how anyone could find Inside Out "boring", but to each their own...
