It's interesting how IROC and Max can see two very different things in the message. I thought Wall-E was an amazing movie, particularly in the ability of Pixar to give such personality in a main character that isn't human and doesn't really speak. I guess Cars would be my least favorite, but 'worst Pixar movie' is still miles better than most of the competition.
It seems ar that Cars is going to go down as the least of Pixar's feature films. It just wasn't particularly good. The story was basically a rehash of Doc Hollywood, and the *design* was far too 'kiddie' to have had any chance to be respected. They did a terrific job with it, Pixar I mean, as far as carrying through on the final product. But it's rather like asking a famous chef to fix you some Hamburger Helper - he can do the very best job he possibly can, but in the end, it's still just Hamburger Helper. So Cars got my vote, but a close second would have been Wall*E. Wall*E was fantastic on every level, absolutely superb, right up until the point where they decided to insult every one of us, and shove their brain-dead social commentary down the throats of a captive audience. It was an ambush, it was classless, and hopefully they have learned their lesson. With as much hoopla and anticipation that Wall*E generated before its release, and to all the dissonant fanfare upon its arrival, the masses very quickly forgot all about it. It didn't *resonate* with a timeless story such as Nemo, or Toy Story, or even the retro Incredibles. And as such, people just sort of yawned and went about their business.
There are several that I haven't seen yet... That being said of the ones I have seen I couldn't make it all the way through Bug's Life. I've seen the Toy Story duo, Monsters Inc. and A Bug's Life... that's it.
I thought wall-e was okay, but it didn't seem like a kid's film. Kind of dark, and the ending didn't really click with me. But if that's the 2nd-3rd worst Pixar has to offer, they're going to last for a long long time.
Worst Pixar Movies: 1) Ratatouille 2) Wall-E 3) Cars My boy liked Cars and I thought it was cute, but not like the others...
