Why do people even bother saying "in your opinion"? Of COURSE it's his opinion. It's freakin' IMPLIED. Sheesh. :rolleyes:

I know a lot of people online don't care for Cars, but outside IRL (in real life), it's pretty popular. They're even making "expanded universe" toys to keep the merchandising fresh.
But for me, it just didn't do it for me and I've never even seen Doc Hollywood. We used to watch the heck out of A Bug's Life, it's just hard to find time to watch anything these days, my unwatched pile is massive. |
I think they are all overrated, at least the ones I have seen. They all follow the same basic formula: Though some circumstance, character x is removed from his/her everyday environment and enters a world new to him/him. It gets old after a while. They are still good movies, but I don't get the sheer amount of high praise they get from every segment of society.
Nemo was my least favorite (Ellen De Generes...:down:), while Cars, despite the fact that I despise the NASCAR racing "culture", was probably my favorite. |
I voted none. I enjoyed Cars the least, but it has grown on me a bit.
|
I too voted for the "None of them are overrated" option. "A Bug's Life" and "Cars" are my least favorite, but I think that pretty much represents the opinion of most critics/audiences. I love every other one of their films (and the aforementioned two are still really good films, in my opinion.)

I've enjoyed every one so far. Some more than others but enjoyed all.
|
Cars.
|
I don't think any of them are overrated. "Cars" might be the one I enjoyed the least, but it's still a good film. With beautiful animation. And I'd watch that endlessly over anything from Dreamworks. And IMO, "Toy Story 2" is Pixar's crowning achievement.
|
I really didn't care for Ratatouille at all and I'm a Pixar fan who enjoyed Cars quite a bit.
|
Finding Nemo. Ugh. I hate that movie.
|
Crapatouille. Only Pixar film I didn't see in theaters and turned the DVD off it was so bad. Which I guess makes it Brad Bird's most overrated movie too.
|
Cars. Just a cartoon rehash of Doc Hollywood. Expected more originality than that. Ratatouille was boring, but never really hyped as anything great. Haven't seen WALL-E.
|
Monsters Inc and Cars.
|

I agree. I also disliked Crap Story, Crapsters Inc., A Crap's Life, Craps, The Incrapibles, Finding Crapo, and, most recently, CRAP-E.
|
Definitely The Incredibles IMO. Cars was overrated as well, but to me, the worst Pixar flick was Incredibles.

Welcome to the wonderful world of storytelling. Glad you could join us!
They're good cartoons; I just don't quite get the Pixar-mania they have spawned. |

I realize it's one of the most common plot drivers out there, and it can make for extremely enjoyable cinema.

I just don't enjoy Pixar's versions nearly as much as some others. They are extremely emotion-driven, and if you don't respond to most of the built-in "feeling-cues", they fall a bit flat.

I would've voted cars but it was never rated high to begin with. Wall-E gets my vote for being so "critically acclaimed" but ended up being quite boring but with great graphics. But I kind of expect that from any Pixar flick.
