For me HTTYD was not pixar quality. it was very good film but not as good as pixar.There was nothing special about it
haven't watched Gaurdian.9 is also very forgetable

Damn, Pixar used to be so perfect... 
Cars 2 ruined everything for me.

Haven't seen Rise of Guardians before, but I'd heartily recommend How to Train Your Dragon. One of my favorite movies of all time right there, definitely meeting Pixar quality.
ah okay. good to know.
haven't seen rise of the guardians, but 9 isn't really ... that good. i don't recommend not seeing it, but don't go in with high expectations.
how to train your dragon really surprised me though. it was 2010's best animated film.
i'd also like to recommend 2011's rango to any who haven't seen it. it's another great animated film.

As expected, but I'm sure it will be better than Cars 2 at least.

Aww man I had high hopes for this, I hope they are just kicking Pixar while they are down, I'm sure its still better than 90% of the other kids films out there.
I think that's the main problem with most of Pixar's fans.Damn, Pixar used to be so perfect...
I just hope that the Muppets don't go down the same path. The movie was wonderful, but Tina Fey and Ricky Gervais already make it feel like a slimy sequel unlike Segel and Adams. I should be more open though.
If you think about it, The Muppets are pretty much the only 'practical' special effects Disney has anymore.
It's why I love Aardman so much and the people who did Mary and Max

disney animation has been better than pixar lately (Tangled, for example)
toy story 3 isn't as good as everyone makes it out to be.
cars 2 and brave aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

oh yeah, I forgot brave came out after cars 2.
It's not like earlier Pixar movies were particularly brave or daring.

Are they meeting for the first time at college?
Because in Monster's Inc. they say they've known eachother since elementary school at least.

Madagascar 3 is better than the latest 3 Pixar movies and Kung Fu Panda 2 was at least as good as Brave.
They knew each other but its not until University that they actually become friends AFIK.
Really unsurprising. Everything about this thing looks aggressively mediocre. Sad thing is nobody has taken up the Pixar mantle. I was never a huge Pixar fanboy but they did use to make really original and creative stuff consistently. Dat Disney buyout, I guess.
KFP2 is way better than Brave.

Well, they had a good run. It is sad, though, they really turned themselves into something quite special, and now they're squandering their potential.
Next year?
Man remember when Pixar was making great sequels Like TS2 and TS3

'The Good Dinosaur' which is out next year will be good. The concept sounds great and it's by the makers of UP. Then we have 'Inside Out' in 2015 which also sounds pretty good.
But yeh Toy Story 3 is the last really good Pixar film.

To me it seems like it's actually disney animation. They sucked it right out of them

I don't see why this and Cars are Pixar movies that got sequels/a prequel. There are so many better deserving pixar movies to get a sequel. I'm not saying the original Monsters Inc wasn't a great film, but it's definitely not one I wanted a sequel/prequel to. I'm still waiting an Incredibles sequel.

Completely forgot this was coming out. Pixar, what's going on? Make good movies! Get back into shape!
No it was that Disney wanted sequels and was going to make them themselves. Lasseter's reasoning is that as long as sequels have to happen anyway, they may as well happen under Pixar's roof.

Anyone who saw Brave should have seen this coming. I don't see why this and Cars got sequels before The Incredibles, aside from the fact that an Incredibles sequel might actually require decent writing.
This. Ghibli has done several daring films. The closest for Pixar was Wall-E first half, sadly the 2nd half went into non daring route.

I loved Kung Fu Panda 2 surprisingly. It was some cheap homages, but it worked. IT WORKED DAMMIT

Just realized 2010 was one of the best years for animation.
How To Train Your Dragon and TOY STORY 3. Amazing.
