Cars is fucking terrible,
So you're saying Wall-E and Up have no soul?I don't disagree completely. They've made some fine movies, but the CG animation style has grown bland and uninteresting. I'm sick of it. No soul.
It really makes a difference when the production has custom musicI hated that part. I remember reading that the team felt the ending of Horton leaving the whos forever was depressing, so they wanted to find a lighter ending and the pop number was the best they could cook up in time.
How to train your dragon
There was only one thing that bothered me about Dragon and that was the vastly different accents between the two viking generations. The adults all had rough Braveheart Scottish accents while the kids all sounded like American high school students. It didn't ruin the movie at all but it was something that stuck with me after I watched it.
Cars, Cars 2, UP, WALL-E's second half, Finding Nemo. Pixar has 7 hours of my life to answer to.

Pixar is terrible.
Fixed.
Wall-E is awesome, even with the second half not quite living up to the first half. Better then UP where it was 7 minutes of good and the rest bad.
Ratatouille is like Pixar's most mature movie. Swap it for Finding Nemo and I agree with that list, they've certainly made some crappy movies.
Non-Pixar are even worse, I can only think of Kung Fu Panda that wasn't ruined by an impromptu 'street dance' scene.

This argument toward UP is also pretty asinine. I've heard it before on these boards and it's absolutely ludicrous.
Positive or negative?

How is it mature? I have dreams. I have a passion for certain things. Cooking is not one of them but lets say I am intended to relate to it metaphorically.
It does not change that fact that I hate the main character, the supporting character, the love interest, the villian... The situation, and the way they treat those around them. Oh yeah and it is not funny, or heart warming, or in anyway relateable.
Fuck that movie. I love everything else Bird has done so I will stop being a dick right now. But that movie is shit. I am stopping being a dick now.
The "Up sucks after the first seven minutes" argument has about as much validity as a Peter Molyneaux promise.

I found the character design of Lou pretty bland though. Beautiful hair, but boring face.One thing that bothers me in Pixar movies are the human character designs. Ratatouille is probably the only one so far that has designs that really feel inspired:
I didn't relate to the hero or the job, but I liked how it made its point about passion and artistic appreciation. There's very little corny dialog, no obvious joke-bait comic relief sidekick, no pop culture references. It's a very solid film that happens to be about a rat that can cook. If you've ever criticized something before, you should be able to relate to it.
There's also no villain in it, which automatically puts it above anything else from Pixar. It's my favorite movie from them without a doubt.
Not sucks, but it really falls off. It puts you at an emotional high, where this guy has lost the love of his life and his dream, and then a cub scout shows up and they chase a bird.
That's an extremely crude way of describing the storyline, and I don't know why I'm going to even try to instill any wisdom since it will likely be brushed off like most other things on the internet, but here goes.
The story is about a man keeping a promise to his deceased wife and a lonely, nature-obsessed child who enters his life by way of happenstance -- a child that he and his wife never got the chance to have. They share an adventure and Carl comes to the realization that life is worth living even once the ones you loved have left you.
If you're describing this film in the rudimentary terms you said above, I'd really hate to see your viewpoint of some of the other greatest animated films of our time.
Oh and non-Pixar Disney 3D movies really sucks hard.
ugh.....
Dude, even Pixar fucks up. Remember Cars 2?
Ratatouille is like Pixar's most mature movie.
Huh. Never expected to hear that.
