It’s hard to believe 10 years before Home on the Range was released, The Lion King was.
I guess there isn’t a Disney movie that I’ve watched and absolutely hated and still hate. I guess it would be The Black Cauldron, because I used to not like it when I was younger.
I also didn’t like watching Dumbo very much because I really hated the part when his mom was locked up in the cage.
I don’t hate any animated movie, instead I feel really sad and somewhat upset when people keep hating on certain movies, especially Disney movies, for little to no reason. That’s a major reason why I don’t show up on these forums as often anymore.
I’m sorry, but I felt like this a long time now. Sure, I respect opinions, but does that mean I can’t voice mine?
I’m sure there’s a perfectly valid reason people dislike certain movies. And it’s not like only people who are negatively criticizing a movie should have to back up their statements; if anything, people who like a certain movie should also have some reason. I read an AV Club article yesterday where two film critics defended why they either liked or disliked Hugo. So, for instance, if a PP member likes a movie that’s questionable in terms of quality, such as Chicken Little, I’d be interested in hearing why. It’s not just a one-sided thing where we only show our utmost devotion to the glorious Disney (and I have a large Disney “shrine” devoted to my love for the studio) and can’t openly discuss what we enjoy/dislike in order not to upset certain, perhaps more optimistic members.
Personally, I try to remain open to animated movies I dislike. I still spend my hard-earned money on the DVDs, even. Home on the Range wasn’t my favorite Disney movie, and it still isn’t, but after watching the movie a couple times and listening to the commentary, I gained new appreciation for it. I’ll give you this, though: sometimes members may be close-minded to the upside of films they dislike, but I still try to keep my mind open.
I dunno what to tell you… People aren’t going to like everything, even if it’s made by Disney. My post was also sort of referring to several other similar posts I’ve read about this subject. shrug
I agree.
I also dislike when some people think a film is automatically bad just because it’s animated, but there’s no reason for it to be automatically good either.
There are bad live action films and bad animated ones.
Goodness me, I was just complaining about this on Facebook yesterday. I’ve had friends who will dismiss animated films as nothing more than “cute,” and even when they have an incredible amount of depth. Just yesterday a commenter on an article said that he had “grown up” and therefore didn’t enjoy animated films as much as the clearly more serious (sarcasm) live-action ones. I already discussed bias towards animation in the Academy, so no need to repeat that, but in general I would like for people to appreciate animated films regardless of the rating (G/PG, etc.) and the medium. I think a lot of animated films, especially from studios such as Pixar and Studio Ghibli, have more depth than many live-action films, anyway.
Maybe I am a bit over-reacting, sorry about that. I do however feel thankful for the fact that you don’t get angry at me and stayed civil. 
but it’s mostly the shallow “it’s stupid/lame/etc” comments that don’t explain why that really get to me… simply because as an aspiring rookie animator I know how much work it is to animate something.
I like to think that a lot of hard work and effort goes into making almost all animated films at the major studios, but sometimes the vision just isn’t authentic enough or hasn’t been developed enough. Most movies I criticize from studios like Disney have great, awesome potential, but it’s just not quite reached.
Buuuut I see and understand your side. I’ve done hand-drawn animation before and it’s quite time-consuming. I hope people avoid using words like “stupid” in place of “bad” and especially without articulating dislike for certain movies. I also hope you don’t try to get too upset if people intelligently criticize a movie you may like, even if a great deal of work went into said movie. It’s nice having a forum where I can discuss animated films to a great extent, whether the discussions are positive, negative, or a mix of the two (I prefer a mix).
Exactly. There are many factors that make a film good or bad.
Then again, also live action films require a lot of effort to be made, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t bad ones. The same abides to animation.
I don’t see what’s so bad about hating a movie. If it’s noy you’re time of movie, then you won’t like it. Everybody has movies they hate, and it’s alright if it’s Disney, just because it’s Disney it get’s special treatment? For intene, I hate movies like American Pie. I also hate most horror mvoie sequels. people say that “everyone’s a critic.” It’s true, their is a movie you str bound to hate, wither it’s Disney or not. There sre Disney films I hate. Their are movies everyone loves and I hate. Hating movies is a part of being a fan of them, because you’re know what genres you like and don’t and it can be interesting to here other peoples opinions, Good or bad.
Honestly, I can’t really think of an animated movie that I hate, but I can think of a few live-action ones. To tell you guys the truth, I end up liking just about EVERY movie I see, although I can think of two right now that I wish were NEVER EVER MADE (I’m looking at you, Super Mario Bros. Movie, and TMNT III).
The Mario movie is terrible.
The Mario movie should’ve been something like this; youtube.com/watch?v=w5KXo9moSYc
it would’ve been so awesome. 
Anyone hate the Hannah Montana movie?
Not, because I’ve never sen anything from that franchise.
It was pretty cheesy, but I don’t "hate"it.
Spirit, are you wearing a Tangled avatar by chance? 
Really. I hate so the show so I hate the movie.
I dislike, but not enough to hate.
It takes a lot for me to hate a film, because even with more substandard films like Home on the Range and Chicken Little, there has still been a lot of work gone into it.
Chance in what way?
