In your opinion - what's the WORST Pixar movie?

Cars - defo , how that piece of s**t got a sequel has me scratching my noggin, clearly there was alot of sucky sucky going on amongst the suits.

this made me laugh tho.
 
While it was necessarily bad, I would says Cars was my least favorite. Just couldn't buy into the concept. I kept thinking things like, how can they reproduce? How did they evolve? etc...
 
Cars, though it's still better than the vast majority of other animated/kids films (or films in general, for that matter).

At this point, though, you kind of have to trust that Pixar knows what they're doing.
 
I haven't seen cars yet, so I can't agree with ya'll. (Yet.)

So I have to say either Wall-e or Ratatouille. Both of them had very... Bland storylines for me.

My favorite is either Toy Story of Toy Story 3.

Toy Story for sentimental value and most original.

Toy Story 3 for making such a fricken emotional experience... In a kids film. (That threw me off... Rarely do modern films do that anymore.)
 
Also, a Bugs Life. I always forget that was Pixar. Seems like it was before they really got into the swing of being consistently awesome. Still good, though.
 
Outside of the Toy Story movies (which are all gold, imho), I don't care hugeley for Pixar's movies.

They all look beautiful, but the schmaltz factor tends to blot out my interest in the plot or characters.

I loved the first act of Wall-E, wish they'd had the balls to follow it through for the whole movie.

Up, also had a great first act, but then slipped into a pretty standard action adventure. A good movie, nevertheless, but one that could have trancended the genre and been a masterpiece.

Liked the James Bond element of the Incredibles, but that movie seemed to drag on for sooooo long, and I pretty much loathe the superhero genre.

The animated 'kids' flicks I dug most in the last few years were Kung Foo Panda and Rango...
 
Are you kidding me?! How could you not like UP?

I think Up is the third worst Pixar movie behind Cars and Ratatouille. I like the premise of the old man taking off in his house with the kid but as soon as they get to the "talking" dogs the movie died for me.
 
I LOVED the talking dog, though when the film introduced several more of them it got a bit silly.

But the first 15 minutes of that film is some of the best filmmaking you'll ever see, period. Best montage ever.
 
Are you kidding me?! How could you not like UP?

Nope. Thought it was boring...the more I think about it I would rather rewatch Cars then UP so I will have to relist UP as my least favorite.


Still - I am not saying it was a bad film, just not for me, and for me it is the worst Pixar movie (as was the question.) :thumbsup
 
I think all of the pixar movies have *some* redeeming factor, but that said....

A Bug's Life hands down worst for me.

I'm quite frankly sort of surprised that so many people disliked Cars and Wall-E and Ratatouille so much. Of those three, cars ranks lowest for me.
 
Ratatouille is my second favorite, right behind Wall-E, which just about everybody I know hated.

Weird to hear that. Haven't checked the BO take, but I thought it was one of their biggest hits? I loved it, though I don't disagree with the comment above about it feeling like a different film once aboard the ship.

My least favorite is easily Cars........It feels like they were doing work, and it's the only Pixar film that seems that way to me.

Well said. Couldn't agree more.

... and the big slap in the face was that they gave it a sequel. Why give your worst movie a sequel?

Like Doug said, merchandising. It routinely makes more money from merchandising month after month after month than some of their other movies have in total.

...okay, I made that up, but the real statistic - which I can't remember - is something nearly as demented as that.

I'm the one person in the world who doesn't care for The Incredibles.

No you're not, it didn't do as well as expected. I liked it, and that puts *me* in the minority!

Just to hit on a couple, I could not relate to the characters (unsympathetic), and the story was too blunt in its preaching (sophomoric). Basically they lost me out of the gate and it went down from there.

Again, really blown away by the widespread dislike for Wall-E. Okay, it's set in an eco-disaster/recovery framework, but that just provides the drama. For me, that is what it is; didn't find it overtly preachy. And I found the characters hugely sympathetic. Eh - as you say, to each their own!

A Bug's Life hands down worst for me.

Second after 'Cars' for me. It's a really nicely made movie, it just plays too young to hold my interest, or something.
