Pixar films have found their way into viewers’ hearts, even souls, and never left them. The lessons they teach have grown more emotionally relatable over the years, as Disney acquired the company. Adults of today were raised ing that famous introduction of the lamp bouncing up and down on one of the letters. That right there is unforgettable in itself. Pixar redefined what animated stories should hold and convey, and defied the odds of being just for children's eyes.
Despite the major success the films continue to reach, there will always be strongly-opinionated critics. Reddit is one of the most eminent places online for people to discuss their opinions, with some being controversial.
The Cars Movies Are Only For Little Kids
Cars is one of the most widely-loved Pixar series of all time and yet it still runs into criticism from various audiences. From Lightning McQueen's personal journey to Mater's innocent yet hilarious adventures, Pixar's Cars brought a new perspective on life lessons and comedy, not to mention its creative, imaginary world.
One Reddit claims that the films are geared more towards smaller children than they are for older age groups. The argument has some merit but most viewers believe it works for all ages.
Monsters Inc. Relates To Adults More
Mike and Sully’s work lives are definitely entertaining and a family-friendly viewing experience. It introduces younger viewers into a daily life they can relate to their parents, despite the whole monsters-scaring-human-children synopsis in the beginning.
However, a Reddit used their opinion when they first watched the film as a child, thinking it was actually meant for grown-ups. They felt that watching the functions and roles in a workplace was too adult-centered for them.
Ratatouille Is Overrated
Although there are countless reviews of how Ratatouille is actually super underrated as a Pixar film, one Reddit posted their unapologetic opinion.
Contrary to most other Reddit s who feel the movie is indeed underrated, the Reddit believes the film is really overrated. Apparently, the fun storyline between the cook and the rat in the middle of Paris wasn't enough for this viewer.
Up Isn't Award-Worthy
2009's genuinely saddens all audiences, as each viewer gradually understands why Mr. Fredrickson became the way he is after the love of his life ed away.
Well, a Reddit in this thread asks why this movie is loved so much. This comment really blew some people away, as fans of the visually and emotionally beautiful film can't help but question who on earth could dislike the film with the floating balloon house. The even went so far as to wonder how the film got an Academy Award nomination.
Inside Out Is Trash
With such a new and unique storyline, Inside Out involves a mental focus on the protagonist's life, with her emotions and feelings leading her forward. This wasn't an expected narrative for Pixar to produce, but their evolution in film experiences shined clearly through the premiere of this animation.
A Reddit , in this thread, replied to another that claimed they appreciated the film, by bluntly saying that Inside Out "was trash." While this certainly seems like a punch in the gut, the must have had their reasons for disliking a movie that broke the status quo of most other children's animations. Perhaps due to the animated flick's unique nature, in comparison to other Pixar films, this commenter probably didn't receive it well because of its individuality.
Cars 2 Is The Best
Most Cars fans will argue that the first and third films are favored and that the second one is their least favorite. When the second film premiered, it was deemed an entertaining experience for children but not much for older viewers that were looking for a more relevant storyline to the characters.
This Reddit commenter its that they think Cars 2 is the best Pixar film. They defend their position with their inclination toward action-packed movies rather than dramas, and how they adore Mater's "innocent, lighthearted" character. This poster brings up a strong point in their opinion though, which is questioning why so many people dislike Mater. It is a shame to see how many viewers have attacked the hilarious and genuinely innocent tow truck through online platforms.
Toy Story 4 Is Confusing
When Toy Story 4 hit theaters, fans were ecstatic leading up to the premiere. With the introduction of new characters and the resurfacing of the beloved Bo character, fans of the series were over-the-moon thrilled and were overall satisfied with the storyline.
However, a few critics of the movie voiced their opinions. This Reddit asked if they were "being too hard on Toy Story 4," and wondered how valid their opinion is regarding it. From their perspective, the new characters made the entire movie confusing and difficult to follow. Its plot was twisted by all the new names and faces according to this .
WALL-E Is Not That Great
A lot of Pixar fans recall impactful film because of its relation to global issues. The futuristic environment it conveys shows the multitude of the problems society is facing today. Humans being completely immobile, staring at a screen all day, doesn't sound like much of an imaginary world.
This Reddit commenter asked if the film received too many accolades meanwhile they just see "a love story between robots." The story between EVE and WALL-E is undeniably adorable, but it's the focus on what happened to Earth before the 29th century that grapples viewers.
The Incredibles Has Darker Themes
The tough yet blatantly hilarious heroic family has become so meme-able now that it's actually hard not to come across Mr. Incredible's face.
While it's a fact that the film includes difficult topics, like death, this Reddit believes it's more inclined toward adult audiences than it is for kids. The commenter points out that "midlife crisis" and "infidelity" were involved in the movie, which is definitely not intended for kids when considering it in more general .
Finding Nemo Is One Of The Worst
One of the most difficult-to-watch journeys, Marlin's desperate search for his son, Nemo, is the still perfect movie for families to enjoy. Marlin's overprotective nature is met by his son's fearlessness in talking back to him. What a perfect way for parents and kids to see how to manage a situation like that.
However, a Reddit in this thread blatantly states that they think the comical moments are solely for children and that the "emotional moments are only okay" all throughout the ocean adventure. While this comment managed to break some hearts on Reddit, calling it one of Pixar's worst films, the studio still came out with the beloved sequel, Finding Dory years later, only to prove how the sweet, dramatic scenes truly made an impact on fans.
