Pixar's worst movie

[Casual Shinji]

Not sure what to think about the negative comments on The Incredibles, I actually think of that as the best movie in the Pixar stable.

Right you are, good sir.

If I had it my way, Brad Bird would direct every Pixar movie.

UP was pretty boring.

He be trollin'. I hatin'.

I loved Up. Is my favourite Pixar film next to the Toy Story series (if I had to pick a favourite out of those it would probably be 3. One of the only films to make me cry) and Monsters Inc.

Least favourite...probably Cars or WALL-E. WALL-E pretty much discarded the plot to give us a robot in hilarious situations and Cars was too long. Neither of them were bad films, just were disappointing.

Ain't be trollin' dawg, just statin' my passive opinions, dig?

I don't dig. But that reminds me. Up has the character of Dug. Dug is awesome. Show Dug some respect and give his film some recognition. It was great. It handled issues that other kids films (most notably any made by Dreamworks) wouldn't dream (forgive the pun) of handling because they don't want to alienate the audience. So tell me, is that why you didn't like Up? What Pixar films DO you like?

I liked cars. And I never said I didn't like Up, just that it was boring in places.

Oh, and I liked the part in WALL-E where he gets brutally smashed....ok I might be trolling at this point.

with the reminder that pixar will soon be releasing it's worst picture, Cars 2, i just wanted to look back and see which movie it will be replacing. Looking back a the list it's hard to think of one, it's like picking out which diamond is the least valuable, they're all pretty, and they're next to perfect.

Toy story 1,2&3, a bugs life, monsters inc., finding nemo, the incredibles, cars, ratatouille, Wall E, Up. those are the ones i'm talking about i'm not asking about shorts and other stuff ~_~...

so which movie do you think was the worst?
ME - monsters inc.

A Bugs Life, compared to the others its awful. Plus Antz (I know its not Pixar) did something similar in the same year and it was far better.

 

[arugulino]

I hated Toy Story 2, enough so that I didn't bother to see 3. So to me that is the worst film by Pixar.

3 isn't as fixated on the bad guy angle as 2 was, and it's pretty much hilarious beginning to end. It deserves at least a Redbox rental. =]

 

[LogicNProportion]

Definitely Cars.

 

[joemegson94]

Cars and A Bug's Life are pretty good films, but they're quite mediocre compared to Pixar's other films. (I haven't seen Ratatouille)

 

[JaredXE]

Cars. Cars sucked.

Next has to be Up. Up and Wall-E were emotional kicks in the balls when I watched them simply because I saw them by myself and they were about finding a special person in your life, though I like Wall-E a lot better.


Stupid Pixar, having to remind me I'm alone when I'm just trying to enjoy a movie.

 

[ExaltedK9]

You're having a meltdown because I said I thought a Pixar movie was boring, and I'm the immature one? I gotta say, I'm not a fan of your twisted logic.

Oh, and I'm not trolling, just expressing an opinion, which incidently sent you into a tailspin of anxiety.

Yes, I'm having a meltdown because I'm using correct English. I'm guessing Ernest Hemingway wrote nothing but constant hissy fits then.

Yeah, I get it. Just saying [http://blognolife.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/trollface.png].

And movies are not objective. How good they are is a matter of opinion. Mine being that up was boring as hell. But I'm glad that it sent you on a magical rollercoaster of emotions. Oh, and up was a high budget movie. (It is Pixar after all) And any animated 3D movie takes a small fortune to actually animate, along with thousands of man hours.

Open to debate. (not really apparently) But I know Up was a big budget production, as are most "main" Pixar enterprises. I wasn't implying that Pixar was low budget, was making it clear that I wasn't even including the "smaller" B-list movies in the comparison.

And is that a spelling error I see? What do ya' know, it looks like you're human as well. But regardless, I'm gonna ***** about it on a public forum because it offends me in ways you can't ever comprehend.... (I'm being facetious, by the way.)

You never read The Raven [http://www.heise.de/ix/raven/Literature/Lore/TheRaven.html] then. Or, you know, pretty much anything written... what? More than a century ago?

I'll pretend I'm surprised. (I'll pretend not to notice you undeserved superiority complex)

And to answer your questions, in order:

No, I didn't dislike it because it was animated, or terribly devoid of car chases.

Yes, I think I'm perfectly aware on why you didn't like it by now. (Care to enlighten me? Even though I'm sure it's gonna be something along the lines of: "Omg ur not enlightened!!11!1!!1")

Transformers was ok

Yeah... Let's stop here. I think that says enough about you. (That I like robots? I do.)

Good day.(Indeed)

By the way, more people liked Transformers than they did Up. Shattered it in the box office... and for good reason.

 

[Ildecia]

seems like everyone didnt like cars,

so i'll go with antz.

EDIT: crap, antz was dreamworks... so probably then... hmmmmm

A Bug's Life

 

[jack583]

Snip for length.

was "meet the robisons" pixar or dreamworks?
because i hated how screwed up their veiws on time travle works.

but if that is dreamworks then i say "the incredibles".
i really only liked the first robot fight scene.

Meet the Robinsons was made by Walt Disney without the help of Pixar. I only know this after I searched for it on Wikipedia just now because I never saw the movie myself.

just to be sure that we are talking about the same film:
"meet the robisons": new animated film about a boy genius who gets to travel to the future by way of some random kid from the future (later turns out to be the smart kids future son) that goes back to fix an error he made in his time.

"swiss family robinson": old live action film about a family that gets stranded on an unmarked island and survives via making a house and gadgets that were so advanced given the materials avalable they must have been made by using blue prints writen by "the professor" from the sitcom "gilligans island".

i only ask because you said the film was made by walt disney--who is dead--and not the disney corporation. if you had said the latter i would not have responded, but since you said the first i just wanted to double check.

No I was talking about Meet the Robinsons but I agree with you that the magic of Disney has cleary faded after Walt Disney died. I mean almost all of thier new live action movies are completely horrible. To be honest, the only really good films that were made exclusively by Disney in the 2000s were the Pirates of the Caribbean series and Tron Legacy. I only said Walt Disney because that is the name they put on the particular box.

Also sorry for me taking so long to respond back to your comment, I was enjoying New Year's Eve.

no problem.
hope you had fun.

 

[Dr.Fantastic]

Man I would say cars but I didnt even hate it. I mean it was ok, just ok.

 

[Justanothergamer300]

No Wall-E I felt cheated out of my money after that movie.

 

[PhiMed]

I've never actually watched all of A Bug's Life, so I can't really comment on its place in the pantheon, but out of the ones I've seen (all the rest of them), I'd probably have to say Cars with Wall-e coming in a distant second. Favorites are UP, Toy Story 3, and Monsters, Inc.

Edit: Cars is really actually pretty good, but any affection I may have developed for it is absolutely destroyed by their decision to include Larry the (fucking) Cable Guy as a voice actor. I want that guy to get dick shingles. Nothing that could seriously harm or kill him. Just make him really uncomfortable for a long time.

 

[PhiMed]

Cars and A Bug's Life are pretty good films, but they're quite mediocre compared to Pixar's other films. (I haven't seen Ratatouille)

Fix that. Seriously.

Ratatouille is the most pleasantly surprised I've been in a movie since Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.

Since he died? I guess, but that was half a century ago. They've made a lot of really good stuff since then, arguably some of their best. The 2000s comprise less than a quarter of the time since his death.

Cars, but being the "worst" Pixar movie doesn't really mean anything, even the worst Pixar movie is still a damn good movie.

 

[Toriver]

Lately, I've tended to only have the chance to see Pixar movies after they've been built up as true masterpieces of cinema entertainment, to come out of it after seeing them thinking they're good, but being rather let down by the extreme over-hype. I'm not going to deny that they're really good movies, but are they really as good as everyone lets on?

Anyway, personally, my vote for Best Pixar Movie would be A Bug's Life. IMO, that one is actually UNDER-appreciated. People heap on the praise for Finding Nemo, Incredibles and Up, but tend to miss out on some of Pixar's earlier gold, like this one and Toy Story 2, which I think is actually better than a lot of the later stuff. I cannot sit through Bug's Life without LOL-ing every 5 minutes. It's great.

As for Worst Pixar Movie, I've got to give it to either Ratatouille or Wall-E, but I think Ratatouille edges out Wall-E for the worst on this one. I can understand that Wall-E is not necessarily supposed to be so much funny as heartwarming and just plain entertaining, so I can kinda give Wall-E a break there. But Ratatouille is just not all that entertaining to me. It's not funny, the story is very far-fetched, even for Pixar, and I had a hard time watching it without sleeping halfway through. It's still not bad, I have seen far worse from animated films, but it's the Pixar movie I liked the least.

Cars, I thought I was from Dream Works till a year ago. I like the Incredibles, but it was on tv too many times that I want to throw up anytime I see it.

This. I hadn't payed attention to who made it when I first saw it, and had assumed that Dreamworks had made it until I saw it advertised on the Disney Channel.
