I think critics will begin to get tired of the Pixar-formula with this one. Two friends get lost and need to find their way back home.... Stupid... But Inside Out did it really really well. I would like to quote myself now. I was right, stupid bis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 That's really the most cursory sketch of the plot and doesn't do the movie much justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 That's really the most cursory sketch of the plot and doesn't do the movie much justice. I know you had some of the same misgivings about IO that I did. Did you enjoy this better? Yeah, I admit I'm only going to take "yes" for a real answer. I want at least one more Pixar movie to really transport me because I'm seriously doubting it'll happen again before I'm 30, tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I didn't really have many misgivings about IO... any concern was more a note of whether young kids could handle the more adult concepts. In large part, I realize some small part of my quibbles was due to dealing with a hyperactive 4-year-old while watching. Now, of course, to be fair, the same might well be true with TGD. Even putting that aside, though, it didn't come close to IO (for me). Like I said, it felt more like A BUG'S LIFE (or maybe CARS). Or, going outside the Pixar pantheon to the larger Disney universe, this was more like a BOLT than a FROZEN. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 LOL, he's going to say no because he didn't think Inside Out was "lesser Pixar". Don't know why you're asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it was the same kind of thing with me regarding the themes, but after I saw it again alone I realized I really did have issues with the film. I don't want to turn this thread into a knock on it because there were a lot of things I really liked but almost immediately when the credits started to roll I started hoping I'd love this a lot more.

I suppose it speaks to Pixar's track record that something like that would be merely "okay". But I suppose if it's not grasping at the depth that you'd see in IO or Up it might feel that way. Still excited to see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, though I feel the same way about Frozen. I'm glad these reactions from everyone are happening so I get my expectations back in check. For the longest time I expected the worst from this, and then I went to expecting the greatest. So it sounds like it's probably somewhere in the middle. Just hoping to like it more than their bottom tier of Cars, Brave, and MU (not counting Cars 2 since it doesn't deserve to be counted).

AniNate Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 I enjoy Bolt and Frozen to much the same degree. Certainly hope I find TGD much closer to them than Cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I don't recall much of Bolt, though I resaw a couple of scenes not to long ago and it really fucking reminded of Deathly Hallows Part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
