Is there one that you love less?

It’s also Brave for me.

It’s not that I think it’s a bad film, it just doesn’t do it for me.

The Cars would be next, but I still enjoy those a lot more.

I’ve seen Cars… its okay, not the best. Haven’t seen Cars 2 yet, though I’ve heard its pretty bad.

Toy Story 3 is my least favorite for a few reasons. I do like the film quite a bit, I even own the full 3D Blu-Ray combo pack. And there’s almost no denying it’s a good movie. Ultimately, I think this film looked more “perfect” than it actually was. As the title says, this is the one I love less. I voted “Well yes, but not by much”. I’m kind of glad this one is my least favorite since it’s Toy Story. To me, any Toy Story film in itself is good and pretty darn likable, and if I like every other Pixar film more than that one, it means that I am proud of all of Pixar’s films and that they have done a good job on each of them.

For me it would definitely be either Finding Nemo or TS3. I know, I’m Lucifer. D:

Not even. 8D TS3 I already understand. I guess Finding Nemo did always get a lot more praise than the others. Even though I like it, as a little kid I remember being upset that people in the audience were laughing at Dory’s antics when perilous things were happening, but it doesn’t bother me anymore. I do like it when A Bug’s Life, Brave, and the Cars don’t have to be the only least favorites out there.

Strangely, none of those are my least favorites. I like a lot of very popular things. But truthfully I often place things I view as over rated even lower than things that are usually seen as bad. I hated Finding Nemo when I was little because it made me sad, and I thought it was over rated, because everyone I knew liked it better than the Incredibles. I still feel that way, to a much lesser degree. And I think anyone can see TS3 is over rated. I like it, you like it, everyone likes it. But is it really deserving of this pedestal people mentally give it? I have to wonder.

I think Toy Story 3 sort of gets a free ride as most people at least like the first two. Since the third one wasn’t bad, and it looked perfect, that automatically makes it wonderful? Whereas the four least-loved films may look too kiddie or generic, but the dialogue and characters just seem to be a lot more honest/sincere. Especially with both Cars, I learned that if you listen just to what they say, it’s pretty cool. This might sound dumb, but I actually feel kind of smart when I watch the second one. A Bug’s Life is very sweet and has a good message, and Brave I think handles family very well.

Not against Lee Unkrich either, who I love. I’d guess part of the reason he made it so “perfect” was because he saw how stressful it was to make TS2, and he probably wanted to take the time to make the 3rd one good. I appreciate TS3’s effort. However, because it was so different and all, I don’t think it will pay off in the long run as well as the earlier ones. It’s easily one of the hardest to re-watch. And I thought The Incredibles truly lived up to it’s name. Nemo is good, maybe just not the absolute best for everyone, or me.

I actually really like Cars. The two films I love less would be Brave and Cars 2. Neither does a lot for me.

I’ve never been a fan of Cars… its not that its a bad film, its just not my taste. So consequently Cars 2 is even lesser on my list.

The thing that disappoints me is that I was hoping most people would see Cars 2 as an improvement on the first one. I was sorely mistaken, sadly. I know Cars 2 and Brave are not most people’s favorites, and I guess I can see how, but I happen to love both of them. Neither of them are my least favorites, and the same goes for A Bug’s Life and Cars. I think Brave disappointed some people who had certain expectations of it instead of letting it be the film it really was.

I actually love all the Pixar films aside from Toy Story 3, and the first two are my favorite Pixar films. I do like Toy Story 3 (and I love a few parts), but I think a certain upcoming Pixar film might become my new least favorite after that.

About that last thing you say, LQstudiesPixar, I do enjoy Cars 2 more than the original, but my personal tastes aside, I know it’s an inferior film.

I don’t quite understand that, but okay.

I really think it’s inferior because it’s not as well done. I just have more fun watching it, but personal enjoyment has nothing to do with objective quality.

This. This whole section. When we rented TS3, my dad said people made up their mind before the film came out. Everyone(myself included) was so excited for another run with the gang. And then everyone saw it, and cried, and laughed(hardly) and loved it. But the more I see it, the more I can’t help but examine it. It might have been my most successful first watch for Pixar. I thought I had just come out of The Empire Strikes Back. My mind was blown. However, with each subsequent reviewing, I felt like I was being manipulated. I mean, think about it. In the last hour, think of all the extremely emotional things that happen. They’re trying too hard. I cried like a baby the first, and second time. But now the pathos is just so heavy that I can’t believe it’s really happening. Look at Up for example. Everything is so downplayed with the quiet music and real emotion that you can feel. Subtlety. We need more subtlety in film. TS3 is definitely not a film I like to rewatch. I try to remember it by that first, special viewing. My innocent viewing.

While many here and everywhere would consider it ridiculously inferior to TS3, I really like Brave. I do. There is a lot of suubtlety in the emotional scenes. And they don’t horribly outweigh the comedic scenes. I’m not a fan of comedy. I’m not. But TS3 is like a funeral to me when I re watch it.

Spirit: I see, that makes sense. I usually combine the enjoyment and the quality into one to get my opinion of something. I don’t think it has to be called great or really good. I think that film is at least standard good, though. But there are some silly films I like to watch (not as good as Cars 2), but it’s not like I think they’re so good or anything, they just make me laugh like a goof.

I understand, and agree. I often like bad things, and dislike or hate good things. I understand quality, something many people ignore. It’s good that you can enjoy that thing, but it’s not “good” just because that’s your opinion. And vice versa. But I prefer to just enjoy things. :slight_smile:

SoA: Actually, personal enjoyment does have something to do with quality. They do have something to do with each other, otherwise, why would I watch something? Regardless, I think I get what you’re saying. But I’m just glad Pixar is glad with their film. I really don’t want anyone there to think they messed up, it’s a great film on both levels.

Me too. If I can’t just have fun with a film every once in a while, I might go nuts. And same for Brave. I know parts are familiar to other movies, but I enjoy how honest both of these films feel. You never feel like it was scripted or phoned-in even a little.

Me too! I love the ones I can watch over and over. Those are my favorites, the ones I can re watch the most.

This goes to show how subjective this is.

To me, TS3 is one of the films with the most re-watching value, and I don’t feeling forced, overly emotional or depressing, and I do think that the comedy outweighs the drama in that film (not that there would be anything slightly wrong if it was the other way around)

Anyway, I think they’ve got the title of this thread right, which doesn’t happen often. “Is there one you love less?” acknowledges the subjectivity of it. Others could have called it “Which is the worst film in the canon?”, or something like that, which is an objective question that will get subjective answers anyway.

I love them the same.
