You cluelessly made my point for me without even knowing it.

My point is that they don’t give a shite if adults like the movie or not. They realized making animated movies for kids and adults was pointless. Parents are watching if the kid likes it so who cares what the parent likes?

Well parents are the ones buying the tickets for one thing. And if they’re going to be forced to watch something they might as well enjoy it. People who made these movies used to take that into account. The term “fun for all ages“ used to mean something.

It’s almost as if you never did read my earlier post on this topic and just are now blindly & wildly replying out of pure impulse.

It’s fascinating that adults have such strong feelings about the quality of animated children’s movies.

You thinks it's odd that parents have strong feelings about what type of entertainment their kids consume?

On matters of appropriateness, of course not. On quality? Yes, pretty weird to have takes on Minions like it’s Godfather 2.

Would you think it’s odd if the ones in this thread with the strongest feelings about these movies do not have any kids?

Well there is, and it’s because they ruined a perfect ending which was Toy Story 3. While Toy Story 4 is fine, it should not exist. Maybe as a Disney+ exclusive, but as far as I’m concerned it’s not canon.


I think toy story 5 has to involve reuniting the toys with andy and his kids. that would be awesome.

I mean, kids are pretty easily entertained. I don't find it unreasonable for parents to want to spend their time and money and have their children grow up watching actual quality movies.

There's a reason classics are classics and stand the test of time. I'd rather people demand quality from kids movies rather than the the contrary of "oh well, it's just kids movie, who cares".

A kids movie being high quality is a bonus but it’s not a prerequisite. Most of the goofballs that hate Disney movies now don’t even have kids, or at least don’t mention them in their critiques. That is very strange.

I’ll take my 2 kids to see inside out 2. I’d rather it be a terrible movie that they enjoy than high quality filmmaking that they don’t enjoy. Hopefully it’s really good and enjoyable for children.

I’m simply citing history with Wreck It Ralph as a fair comparison.


Why is wreck it Ralph 2 a fair comparison? What do the movies have in common besides being under the "animation" umbrella genre? Different studios, different styles of storytelling. Wreck it Ralph 2 is in no way a recent movie. It came out 6 years ago. And disney and Pixar have both released sequels to movies since.

As you stated, both are animated. So there's that. And both have sequels.

I saw both Wreck it Ralph & Inside Out. Enjoyed both.

Hated WR 2. Not so much that I recall it being 'woke', just that it was bleak, depressing and so far from the escapism that usually makes for a good animated movie of these sorts.

Unfortunately, Hollywood is enduring an insufferable stage of 'forget the past, kill it if you have to' that seeks to diminish what MOST of the paying public had proven they enjoy. The disease extends to the BBC as well. And there's already been shown clear examples of said studios giving the middle fingers to the fans.

The suspicions are justified.

Because I’ll take my child to it if it is good. Again, a decade ago all you needed was a single word to get people in the theater with no concept needed: Pixar. That’s no longer a golden title. Pixar films have been bombing, which was unheard of a decade ago.

So no, how about they try targeting people like me again, because I’ll drag my kids to them. Their last actual great movie gross $800 million through word of mouth, so it seems to work them when they make great movies and they don’t seem to have made a profitable movie since Toy Story 4 at this point. And if you point out Elemental, yeah it made 400 million on a 200 million budget, which means the marketing budget was also 200 million meaning it didn’t make shite.

Yes, because they can and should be good. What would you rather be stuck with your kids watching and learning from: Blue’s Clues and Cocomelon or Bluey? The former two are absolute fricking trash yet popular and the later is delightful, teaches your kids actual lessons, and good watching for you too.

Which would you rather watch and have your kids exposed to? My kids sure as shite aren’t going to watch the former two and instead I’ll give them good stuff to watch like Bluey and Looney Tunes that expands their brain and intellect.

How about the standard of Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, Shrek, Looney Tunes, and Bluey? I think those are perfectly fine standards.

Why is it too much to ask of children’s entertainment to make something as great as Bugs Bunny making a fruit salad on Elmer Fudd’s head?

Chapelle has said that Bugs Bunny himself was the biggest influence on his comedy, and it shows. So show that to kids, please, and produce a genius.
