@@jamesdaniels8007 Me too! I hope Toy Story 5 goes down the line of "Woody & Buzz reunite 100% repaired, and they end up in The Hundred Acre Woods & become Christopher Robin's toys."
I think Secret of NIMH was deliberately making the rats mysterious. I believe Don Bluth himself said that there was no explanation for Nicodemus' magic and the origins of the stone. The focus of the story is meant to be Mrs. Brisby and her journey to discover her courage and self-worth. She's overwhelmed by a situation bigger than her, so she's in over her head, but she surprises everyone by being the bravest of all. There's a subtle implication that Jonathan taught Brisby everything he knew, and not just how to read. You'll notice that the Brisby family and Auntie Shrew are the only animals besides the rats who wear clothes. I do recommend reading the original book. While I wouldn't say it's better than the movie, it does focus much more on the rats and their story. Brisby (originally Frisby) is only a minor character in the book.
Truth be told, Happy Feet was one of my childhood movies, but now I don’t really care about it that much anymore. But tbh, I enjoy the song covers, Mumble is a charming protagonist, and Robin Williams pretty much carried this movie on his back. He did a great job as Ramón and Lovelace!
I'm with you on Despicable Me. I never understood why that franchise was so popular. I always thought they were just okay. This actually goes for most of the films from that studio. Similarly, a lot of my friends really like Meet the Robinsons, but even as a kid, I just thought it was okay.
I thought Toy Story 4 was…fine. I enjoyed it as a standalone movie, but it was NOT worthy of the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and I’m still salty that it won instead of Klaus!
I wasn't too into Klaus when I first saw it, but it has really grown on me through rewatches. Now I definitely agree that it should have won that year.
Brian went from choices that I agreed with/understood from where he was coming from to suddenly saving one of my all-time favorite movies for last. Bruh!
@BrianHullPlus, I respect your opinion on The Secret of NIMH!, Jerry Goldsmith's music in this movie is incredibly awesome!! Don Bluth himself with 14 animators left Disney back in 1979 to form his own production company, Don Bluth Productions but in 1979, Banjo the Woodpile Cat debuted as a television special, but back in 1980, The Secret of NIMH started production & took two and a half years to finish the movie, but on July 2, 1982, The Secret of NIMH debuted in movie theaters & it marks Don Bluth's direct to theatre debut
We'll have to agree to disagree on The Secret of NIMH. 😁 It's not just one of my favorite ANIMATED movies, it's one of my favorite MOVIES of ALL TIME. I was seven years old when I saw it in a theater in 1982. I didn't know who Don Bluth was, nor did I know about the then-recent Disney walkout. I just knew that this film had an edge to it and made me feel wonder, awe and excitement like no other film had done before (and rarely has since). It had me under its spell then, and it still does today. And just like the movie, Jerry Goldsmith's PHENOMENAL music score is one of my all-time favorites.
Really solid list overall. I was so worried you were going to put captain underpants on this list! Honestly one of the most underrated animated movies in recent years. My favourite book series as a kid as well. I highly recommend it.
I never know what experience I'm going to get with a DreamWorks Animation film, considering how the quality of their stuff is all over the place, but I did enjoy Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, mostly for how absurd in an entertaining way it was. It could have used a sequel honestly, and I'm not counting the series, considering how drastically different it is.
@@camdencoblentz3245 yeah definitely. There is a dog man movie in development coming out next year which is a spin-off to captain underpants so hopefully that turns out good as well.
I liked Happy Feet because my late best friend Sam had a condition that made him walk a different way and I called him Mumble, like happy feet and I found it to be a cute nickname for him.
I agree about happy feet and Toy Story 4. these movies are more I don't understand the hype I can see how they are good but I don't understand the hype. 1 frozen, 2, lilo and stitch ( it felt like two separate movies then one cohesive plot I loved everything about lilo and Nani's relationship but all the alien plot felt out of place to me - I like stitch as a character). 3 Wall-e, 4 how to train your dragon 3 (loved 1 and 2 and all of the shorts but 3 felt off). 5. most animated adult shows ( I love Hazbin hotel and Helluva boss but I don't enjoy any of the others I've tried to get into. )
I don't understand why people didn't like the Powerpuff Girls Movie. I know they say that it's dark and little boring, but I saw tons of other movies like that and people love those!! It feels like more people like Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland than the Powerpuff Girls Movie. I'm not saying that I don't like it, but it just feels like a different movie. You can like any movie you like because I wouldn't judge anyone. It's just that this version of Alice in Wonderland was dark because it didn't have the same vibrant feeling you get when you see any other versions, and that one MONSTER was creepy. (Like any scary Jim Henson movie)
I haven't seen Toy Story 4 myself, and don't really plan to either. I agree with Brian here, that the story should've ended with Toy Story 3. I mean, the original started with Andy and Toy Story 3 ended with Andy passing his toys to a young child when he left for college. There, original kid leaves the story, have it end there. I admit though, that after the 'hand down' I was a little curious as to what would happen with a new owner, but even so, with the original toy owner no longer in the story, just go ahead and 'quit while you're ahead'.
They are...... and its very unnecessary 😑 and Personally I could care less about A Toy Story 5 I'm just more excited for a moana Sequel Surprisingly coming this year and Two more of the Frozen Sequels.
I'm definitely with you on Despicable Me, Brian. I honestly will never understand why this franchise is popular. Those movies are just... okay. Not anything special, just okay. And to be quite honest, I never cared for Illumination's movies either. They either make movies that are average or just flat out awful.
I'm totally with you on these, Brian. With the exception of Secret of Nimh, which I've never watched and therefore don't have any opinion on, I too cannot stand (or simply don't get) any of these movies/show, either. 😬 I was especially mad at Toy Story 4 beause it really did not feel like a satisfying continuation to what 3 did. I was not at all opposed to getting more Toy Story (especially with how fun the shorts that came out after the third one were), and like you said, I too respect the message. But this did not feel like the right story to tell it. Everyone felt so out-of-character. Some of the choices made were straight-up weird. It was overall a huge letdown, and I can't say I'm looking forward to the 5th one, but if they're making it either way, I at least hope they'll fix some of the stuff that went wrong in that 4th.
Brian, please do more videos like this! This reminds me of content you used to do years ago and I love it 5 animated movies I hate... 1.Secret Life of Pets! 2. Brother Bear! 3. Toy Story 4 4. Incredibles 2 5.The Minions Movies (Not despicable me tho I love those)
Honestly, there’s some similarities between Happy Feet and Moulin Rouge: -Both are jukebox musicals -Both are co-produced in Australia (and made by talented Australian directors) -Both feature Nicole Kidman -Both we’re initially acclaimed and received a lot of attention at the Oscars only to be looked back upon as overhyped and overrated. Personally, I love both movies, but I can perfectly understand why one wouldn’t. I sometimes wonder why I love ‘em myself.
If I’m being honest, I haven’t really seen a whole lot of Family Guy or The Simpsons before. But that’s mostly because I was born in 2005 and was more obsessed with kid animated sitcoms. I might need to give them a watch sometime. But I feel like it might be too late.
I will never understand you not liking Happy Feet or NIMH! But the other Three I totally get! Toy Story 4 in particular was a big one! I totally get the Family Guy thing! It’s definitely not for everyone! And the older I get the more I understand why people don’t like it!
I completely AGREE with you on Toy Story 4. It really was NOT needed. Also, what was the entire point of Andy giving the toys to Bonnie and having a heartfelt goodbye with them, only to have her turn around and do what she did in 4. Just...BOO. -.- And actually, I agree with you on MOST of your points (I did used to watch Family Guy in its' earlier days but it just got worse as time went on. :/)...hell I even kind of agree on the Secret of Nimh one, but I still love it because of the art. ^^; As far as movies I dislike that Everyone Loves... 1. The Minions Movies 2. Chicken Little 3. The Super Mario Bros Movie (I thought it was too rushed, didn't like Peach's voice and Luigi wasn't in it enough. :( I did like Bowser though! ) 4. Boss Baby (This is probably the only Dreamworks franchise I dislike completely. xD) 5. Wreck it Ralph 2 (not as good as the first. Also I feel like Vanellope and Ralph were way too out of character...)
Here are my thoughts on your picks: 1. In that case, leave the Family Guy impressions to me, I know a lot about that show and used to love it before it went through seasonal rot. 2. As much as I liked it, I completely understand every word you said about it. IMHO, they should’ve just stuck with the shorts and specials after Toy Story 3. And what you said about how the messages taught in the fourth installment could also apply to the mere concept of the movie, “Thomas and The Magic Railroad,” the concept of a crossover between “Thomas the Tank Engine” and “Shining Time Station,” the PBS Kids sitcom that introduced American audiences to the little blue puffball, in and of itself, is brilliant, but the overall execution is… a mixed bag of good and bad qualities. But hey, at least they brought Diesel 10 in the continuity of the TV series! 3. That’s another movie I liked, but I still understand why you don’t, a lot of the humor is hit and miss, but the ending of the first movie was wholesome and entertaining. 4. I liked Happy Feet a lot, but I respect your opinion on it. 5. I hadn’t seen it until my twenties, but I still enjoyed it wholeheartedly. Even so, I won’t lie, what you’re saying about how confusing the plot was makes sense. P.S. What’s your opinion on two the two British hit cartoons, Danger Mouse (classic and modern) and Count Duckula, and the CGI animated series, “Sitting Ducks”?
So I haven't seen Secret of NIMH or read the book it was based on but one of my favorite UA-cam channels, Overly Sarcastic Productions, recently came out with a trope talk video on the "Small mammal on a big adventure/in a big scary world trope" and Red actually talks about how in the book version, the mice and rats that weren't experimented on aren't bipedal and clothes wearing, so the whole "why are the rats special" doesn't really apply there. She also seems to have several bones to pick with how the movie changed that.
Forgive me, oh great animation gods, for I am about to confess a very hot take that will surely rub some people the wrong way: I actually don't enjoy WALL-E and SPIRITED AWAY as much as the next person does. I will acknowledge that the animation in both films is meticulously superior above everything else. Both films are great in that regard. Here's why I can't throw my hat behind these films: Where WALL-E specifically loses me is its attempt to emotionally direct me to care about the characters in the story and the environment they inhabit. And personally, I just don't think science fiction as a whole does a great job making characters that likeable or even worth the time to understand. So to put the concept in animated form? Yeah, I don't get it. Whereas with SPIRITED AWAY, I just think the film is TOO long to follow everything that's going on. And similar to your issue with NIMH, I also believe there's too many plotlines to follow and make sense of it all. In short, although they are regarded as great works of art, I have a hard time going along with the flow for both films.
I would say Brian is more respectful towards anyone he disagrees with. AniMat had to make a huge deal about his hatred towards Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Hotel Transylvania movies.
This is the case for our family when we watched _How to Train Your Dragon 2_ when it was first released. *All 9 of us* thought several aspects of the plot and characters were "stupid" and "dumb". When hearing that so many love this film, I now want to rewatch it to see if it's as good as everyone says it is!
I definitely like the first film and even own a Blu-ray copy, but the second film legitimately made me angry, which hardly ever happens with me regarding film. The major event in the middle (avoiding spoilers for any potential non-viewers) ticked me off, mostly for how it was done, and there were other problems I had with it elsewhere. The third film was automatically better than the second for me, but the damage was done. Plus, there were issues I had with the third film as well.
For some of the movies Brian didn’t like, I was just enjoying all the music. I wasn’t paying much attention to the storyline. Happy Feet is the main example I have for the music side.
A movie others like that I never got into as much is Toy Story 3. It’s not a bad movie but I always felt it was hyped up more than it deserved. I’ll go ahead and head out now before the flame wars start.
For me, the animated movies everyone loves but I don't are: "The Secret of NIMH", "Aladdin", "Moana", "Shrek" (all entries), and "Lilo and Stitch". As for the animated shows: "Adventure Time", "Kim Possible", "Chip N' Dale: Rescue Rangers", the original "DuckTales", and "The Proud Family".
I'm now really curious of Brian's opinion on one animated movie in particular. It's an old one. Watership Down. I haven't seen it in ages, but I remember it being extremely dark.
I can respect your opinion, even the secret of NIHM (I also didn’t care for happy feet) Here 5 animated properties I don’t like but everyone else loves (no particular order) 5.Trolls World Tour 4.Lady And The Tramp 3.Phineas & Ferb 2.South Park 1.Pokémon I Choose You The Movie
@@RoseQuartz692 umm no, that title goes to The Amazing World of Gumball, Spongebob, Bobs burgers, DarkWing Duck, Ed edd n Eddy, Regular Show, Smiling Friends, Kim Possible, Chowder, Hey Arnold. Actually if I named all the episodic cartoons that are better then Phineas&Ferb we would be here all day, don’t see why people love that show
@TheBatIsRad6436 Gumball has never been interested same goes to Chowder and Darkwing Duck and Ed Edd & Eddy Regular show I watched 10 Years ago around 2013-2014 and Family Guy is the only interesting adult cartoon SpongeBob I haven't watched in years Hey Arnold never been interested in Kim Possible never seen a full episode off and never heard about Smiling Friends
Here's my list, in no particular order: -The land before time -Cars -Any Illumination movie that isn't The Super Mario Bros. Movie (one of my favorite movies) or Despicable Me 1 -Trolls -Happy Feet (I'm still salty that it won Best Animated Feature despite using MOTION CAPTURE.)
Wow, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has hot takes about these movies 😂 (I’ve never seen Secret of Nihm, I’ve only read the book and that was ages ago so I don’t remember the plot much at all either haha)
I felt Despicable Me was a good movie, but the sequels, none of them (except for maybe Rise of Gru) really even came close to hitting that mark again. While the first one was about a villain who had a change of heart through adoption, all the others felt like they just turned the direction to generic spy film, which I guess can still be fun, but after what I felt were the heights of the original, they just did not feel like the sequels I would've hoped for.
Toy Story 4 trust me you’re not alone when you say you don’t like it heck i don’t even care much about the 3rd one that said it has a reason to exist one example of an animated film everyone else likes but I don’t care for is lilo&stich
I honestly think "the Rats of NIMH" is an acquired taste. It was big when I was a kid, I loved it (the sequel was terrible though). I was an 80s baby, so I was deep into that style of storytelling... the adventure style with the creepy undertones . Well, I've been called weird because of it....movies like that and the Black Cauldron were some of my favorites, I loved that horror sneaking in. But, you might find that the book it was based off could clear up some questions. Look for the book "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" The necklace is not in the book, that was only added for the movie... I don't understand it either. However to answer the question: the animated movies i don't like...(please no hate here) any of the Barbie movies. Maybe it was my age, maybe it was I preferred action figures to Barbies. The stories, the acting, the animation style...just didn't peak my interest.
Secret of nimh is not bad! Just the mashup song scene in Happy feet is ok while the others you mentioned are not my favorite even though Johnny depp is in couple family guy eps
***SPOILER WARNING*** No. The Secret of NIMH book is pretty much the same story wise, the whole backstory of the rats and what makes them so intelligent is explained. But also, there is no use of magic in the book at all. That was just added in the film for some reason, a plot device or something. I mean the story is perfectly fine without magic, I don't know why they felt the need to include it in the film. And don't worry, Jeremy's character in the book isn't what you see in the film. He doesn't really do much in the book, but he does help the story progress in terms of helping Mrs Brisby (who is also called Mrs Frisby in the book, no idea why they changed it) and her family; mentioning the Great Owl and taking her there, as well as giving her family a ride to their summer home at the end. But that's just because she helped him; he was caught in wire and she saved him - like we see in the film. Also a key difference I should mention is that the book doesn't have a villain. Jenner is mentioned in the book, but we're told by Nicodemus that Jenner and a bunch of other rats left those who escaped due to a major disagreement and are later hinted that he and the group of rats died. Whereas the film he is there, and wants to kill Nicodemus... he was clearly only included for an antagonist role because obviously the story needed it. No, no it clearly didn't and the book will prove it. But yeah. I can understand where your coming from Brian, the animation and score are gorgeous - you can tell why it's considered one of Don Bluth's best films. I've just recently rewatched it due to reading the book beforehand; the film makes the plot quite convoluted especially with the whole magic thing. I do recommend the book though if you haven't read it, the book is superior to the film. Was this helpful?
To answer your question, Mrs. Frisby was changed to Mrs. Brisby because after the book was published, frisbees became popular again, and the word was copyright claimed.
Not gonna lie I loudly gasped when you said you didn't like the secret of nimh but then you explained it and I was thinking yea that's fair I'm just not used to hearing people say they don't like the secret of nimh 😅 it's the other Don Bluth films I'm used to hearing them say they don't like lol
you have to have not read the book to say give us Miss Brisbee OR the rats of Nimh but not both, not Miss Frizzby and the rats of Nimh. the film deviates from the book by making all the animals anthropomorphic and theres a magic amulet. in the book the rats clearly think more human than the field mice. the magical element added in can be a positive or a negative. nostalgia critic said the amulet adds more to the story so there are elements that represent nature, science, and the unknown/faith. I think all stunningly animated Don Bluth films are also odd stories with moments that make you go whuuuu?
The only movie I seen out of your ranking is toy story 4 and I’m one of those people who like it but I will admit woody leaving the Gange at the end was sad but I’m one of those people who likes and loves these toy stories and I’m good on that.
Animated films that I find overrated, but others don't: 1.) Free Birds 2.) Igor 3.) The Emoji Movie 4.) Shark Tale 5.) Rover Dangerfield 6.) The Trumpet of The Swan 7.) The Christmas Dinosaur I'll never understand why any of these had cult following.
I agree with not liking Toy Story 4, not only for all the reasons you stated, but because it also felt incredibly disrespectful to the previous movies and Andy. He trusted Woody to Bonnie because she really seemed to want him and promised to take really good care of Woody... and then not only neglects him, she literally never noticed Woody went missing. Andy SHOULD have kept Woody, because at least he wouldn't still have had someone who cared about him Asian from the other toys. And don't get me started on what they did to Buzz and dropped his IQ significantly. As for the Despicable Me sequels? I'm good with the original and 2. It's 3 and beyond where I lose all interest
It’s not that I think it’s bad, but I wasn’t that interested in Simpsons. Also, while I love Frozen 2, I’ve grown a tad disinterested in the original Frozen. I can still enjoy it, it’s just Frozen 2 worked better with the fandom.
Here are my thoughts: 1. Never watched Family Guy, never will. 2. Toy Story 4 had one good thing - the duck and bunny characters who always fantasized about attacking the antique shop owner. That was pretty much it. 3. The first Despicable Me was just okay. The girls (particularly Agnes) were cute, and Vector was hilarious. That's about it. 4. I've never seen Happy Feet, but my parents have. They've told me Cars is a better film. I would likely agree with that, since I consider Cars to be pretty underrated. NOT Cars 2. That film is trash. 5. I've only seen the secret of NIMH once, and it was over a decade ago. I'm with you when ot comes to the animation. But keep in mind, it's based on a book. I don't know how faithful it was to the source material, as I never read the original book, but I think it's pretty good. This is the only one on your list that I disagree with. I can understand why you don't like it. The story seems to be going several different places at once. But I personally like it.
I HATE FAMILY GUY AS I HATE HELL! I feel like a brain cell and a piece of my soul dies whenever I see a clip from that show. Toy Story should have ended with three. It had closure and the perfect farewell. Four, to me, was just a response to "NO! Woody and Bo Peep together forever!" And the fact that there’s possibly going to be a fifth: Pixar, you're beating a dead horse. Despicable Me and Happy Feet, I've never seen and am making no plans to. As for Secret of NIMH: you know what? No movie is perfect. Everything you said is correct. As a kid though, I never questioned it, thus I still have fond memories of it and as an adult I love the visuals, the story, and the characters, so I say the good outweighs the bad for this case. But everyone is entitled to his or her opinion so I respect yours, Brian.
I had to study the book of The Secret of Nimh at school and we also watched the film as part of that study here in the UK when I was around 13 I think. The book is soooo much better.
The villain of Toy Story 4 should've been a Woody doll with a broken voice box who is voiced by Jim Hanks.
That actually would've been pretty cool.

Jerry Goldsmith's music in this movie is incredibly awesome!!
Don Bluth himself with 14 animators left Disney back in 1979 to form his own production company, Don Bluth Productions but in 1979, Banjo the Woodpile Cat debuted as a television special, but back in 1980, The Secret of NIMH started production & took two and a half years to finish the movie, but on July 2, 1982, The Secret of NIMH debuted in movie theaters & it marks Don Bluth's direct to theatre debut

I liked Happy Feet because my late best friend Sam had a condition that made him walk a different way and I called him Mumble, like happy feet and I found it to be a cute nickname for him.
I agree about happy feet and Toy Story 4. these movies are more I don't understand the hype I can see how they are good but I don't understand the hype. 1 frozen, 2, lilo and stitch ( it felt like two separate movies then one cohesive plot I loved everything about lilo and Nani's relationship but all the alien plot felt out of place to me - I like stitch as a character). 3 Wall-e, 4 how to train your dragon 3 (loved 1 and 2 and all of the shorts but 3 felt off). 5. most animated adult shows ( I love Hazbin hotel and Helluva boss but I don't enjoy any of the others I've tried to get into. )
I don't understand why people didn't like the Powerpuff Girls Movie. I know they say that it's dark and little boring, but I saw tons of other movies like that and people love those!! It feels like more people like Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland than the Powerpuff Girls Movie. I'm not saying that I don't like it, but it just feels like a different movie. You can like any movie you like because I wouldn't judge anyone. It's just that this version of Alice in Wonderland was dark because it didn't have the same vibrant feeling you get when you see any other versions, and that one MONSTER was creepy. (Like any scary Jim Henson movie)
I haven't seen Toy Story 4 myself, and don't really plan to either.
I agree with Brian here, that the story should've ended with Toy Story 3.
I mean, the original started with Andy and Toy Story 3 ended with Andy passing his toys to a young child when he left for college.
There, original kid leaves the story, have it end there.
I admit though, that after the 'hand down' I was a little curious as to what would happen with a new owner, but even so, with the original toy owner no longer in the story, just go ahead and 'quit while you're ahead'.
How you gonna say to should have ended at three if you haven't seen 4, dumbass? 4 is VASTLEY Superior to 3. 3 sucks!

They are...... and its very unnecessary 😑 and Personally I could care less about A Toy Story 5 I'm just more excited for a moana Sequel Surprisingly coming this year and Two more of the Frozen Sequels.
@@isaiahvilla6691 I’m excited for all of them
@@jamesdresner8917 Good 👍
@@isaiahvilla6691 Disney is also making Zootopia 2
I'm definitely with you on Despicable Me, Brian. I honestly will never understand why this franchise is popular. Those movies are just... okay. Not anything special, just okay. And to be quite honest, I never cared for Illumination's movies either. They either make movies that are average or just flat out awful.
5:19 Thank You! I thought I was the only one
I'm totally with you on these, Brian. With the exception of Secret of Nimh, which I've never watched and therefore don't have any opinion on, I too cannot stand (or simply don't get) any of these movies/show, either. 😬
I was especially mad at Toy Story 4 beause it really did not feel like a satisfying continuation to what 3 did. I was not at all opposed to getting more Toy Story (especially with how fun the shorts that came out after the third one were), and like you said, I too respect the message. But this did not feel like the right story to tell it. Everyone felt so out-of-character. Some of the choices made were straight-up weird. It was overall a huge letdown, and I can't say I'm looking forward to the 5th one, but if they're making it either way, I at least hope they'll fix some of the stuff that went wrong in that 4th.
Brian, please do more videos like this! This reminds me of content you used to do years ago and I love it
5 animated movies I hate...
1.Secret Life of Pets!
2. Brother Bear!
3. Toy Story 4
4. Incredibles 2
5.The Minions Movies (Not despicable me tho I love those)
I also really dislike Secret Life of Pets!
@@NickelNation5190 I don't really know what it was about those movies but I could not stand them lol
I like brother bear🙁
You don't like secret life of pets and brother bear 😮
@@mirayoon1992 I know! I am sorry. I actually am planning to watch it again because my co-workers all say it's better than I remember
Honestly, there’s some similarities between Happy Feet and Moulin Rouge:
-Both are jukebox musicals
-Both are co-produced in Australia (and made by talented Australian directors)
-Both feature Nicole Kidman
-Both we’re initially acclaimed and received a lot of attention at the Oscars only to be looked back upon as overhyped and overrated.
Personally, I love both movies, but I can perfectly understand why one wouldn’t. I sometimes wonder why I love ‘em myself.
1:40; Dude, me and you ... shake arms on it.
If I’m being honest, I haven’t really seen a whole lot of Family Guy or The Simpsons before. But that’s mostly because I was born in 2005 and was more obsessed with kid animated sitcoms. I might need to give them a watch sometime. But I feel like it might be too late.
It’s never too late to get started
@@jesusrox4u Aw, thanks for the encouragement!
@@n19ntendods You’re welcome
@n19ntendods
Just watch the first 10 seasons of the Simpsons and call it a day, but expect the quality to start dropping in season 9 and 10.
I will never understand you not liking Happy Feet or NIMH! But the other Three I totally get! Toy Story 4 in particular was a big one! I totally get the Family Guy thing! It’s definitely not for everyone! And the older I get the more I understand why people don’t like it!
The thing with Family Guy is it can be very hit or miss, and most of the hits are in the early seasons.
Brian, you forgot Atlantis, you said, most people thinks that movie is underrated, but you put it in F rank in your Disney Movies Ranking.
Brian, I think you should try Happy Tree Friends and see if you like it, and if you don’t like it, then that’s cool
3:23 But didn’t you do impressions of Gru and the Minions before?
Doesn’t mean he likes the movie he can do impressions just like he’s done chicken little in the past but hates that movie
I completely AGREE with you on Toy Story 4. It really was NOT needed. Also, what was the entire point of Andy giving the toys to Bonnie and having a heartfelt goodbye with them, only to have her turn around and do what she did in 4. Just...BOO. -.- And actually, I agree with you on MOST of your points (I did used to watch Family Guy in its' earlier days but it just got worse as time went on. :/)...hell I even kind of agree on the Secret of Nimh one, but I still love it because of the art. ^^; As far as movies I dislike that Everyone Loves...
1. The Minions Movies
2. Chicken Little
3. The Super Mario Bros Movie (I thought it was too rushed, didn't like Peach's voice and Luigi wasn't in it enough. :( I did like Bowser though! )
4. Boss Baby (This is probably the only Dreamworks franchise I dislike completely. xD)
5. Wreck it Ralph 2 (not as good as the first. Also I feel like Vanellope and Ralph were way too out of character...)
No one loves Chicken Little, why do you think anyone does?
Here are my thoughts on your picks:
1. In that case, leave the Family Guy impressions to me, I know a lot about that show and used to love it before it went through seasonal rot.
2. As much as I liked it, I completely understand every word you said about it. IMHO, they should’ve just stuck with the shorts and specials after Toy Story 3. And what you said about how the messages taught in the fourth installment could also apply to the mere concept of the movie, “Thomas and The Magic Railroad,” the concept of a crossover between “Thomas the Tank Engine” and “Shining Time Station,” the PBS Kids sitcom that introduced American audiences to the little blue puffball, in and of itself, is brilliant, but the overall execution is… a mixed bag of good and bad qualities. But hey, at least they brought Diesel 10 in the continuity of the TV series!
3. That’s another movie I liked, but I still understand why you don’t, a lot of the humor is hit and miss, but the ending of the first movie was wholesome and entertaining.
4. I liked Happy Feet a lot, but I respect your opinion on it.
5. I hadn’t seen it until my twenties, but I still enjoyed it wholeheartedly. Even so, I won’t lie, what you’re saying about how confusing the plot was makes sense.
P.S. What’s your opinion on two the two British hit cartoons, Danger Mouse (classic and modern) and Count Duckula, and the CGI animated series, “Sitting Ducks”?
7:37 Don Bluth wants to know your location, Brian Hull
I agree definitely!
So I haven't seen Secret of NIMH or read the book it was based on but one of my favorite UA-cam channels, Overly Sarcastic Productions, recently came out with a trope talk video on the "Small mammal on a big adventure/in a big scary world trope" and Red actually talks about how in the book version, the mice and rats that weren't experimented on aren't bipedal and clothes wearing, so the whole "why are the rats special" doesn't really apply there. She also seems to have several bones to pick with how the movie changed that.
Forgive me, oh great animation gods, for I am about to confess a very hot take that will surely rub some people the wrong way: I actually don't enjoy WALL-E and SPIRITED AWAY as much as the next person does. I will acknowledge that the animation in both films is meticulously superior above everything else. Both films are great in that regard. Here's why I can't throw my hat behind these films: Where WALL-E specifically loses me is its attempt to emotionally direct me to care about the characters in the story and the environment they inhabit. And personally, I just don't think science fiction as a whole does a great job making characters that likeable or even worth the time to understand. So to put the concept in animated form? Yeah, I don't get it. Whereas with SPIRITED AWAY, I just think the film is TOO long to follow everything that's going on. And similar to your issue with NIMH, I also believe there's too many plotlines to follow and make sense of it all. In short, although they are regarded as great works of art, I have a hard time going along with the flow for both films.
"Animated movies everyone loves that i don't"., Animat (ED505) also feels the same about this.
I would say Brian is more respectful towards anyone he disagrees with.
AniMat had to make a huge deal about his hatred towards Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Hotel Transylvania movies.
@@madsceptictrooper6803 agree, he even explained about his Sony hatred in one of his Q&A videos.
I enjoyed despicable me because of how funny it is and it's a great animated film in my opinion
This is the case for our family when we watched _How to Train Your Dragon 2_ when it was first released. *All 9 of us* thought several aspects of the plot and characters were "stupid" and "dumb". When hearing that so many love this film, I now want to rewatch it to see if it's as good as everyone says it is!
I definitely like the first film and even own a Blu-ray copy, but the second film legitimately made me angry, which hardly ever happens with me regarding film. The major event in the middle (avoiding spoilers for any potential non-viewers) ticked me off, mostly for how it was done, and there were other problems I had with it elsewhere. The third film was automatically better than the second for me, but the damage was done. Plus, there were issues I had with the third film as well.
All 3 HTTYD Movies are just amazing
Aladdin The best Disney classic movie but you never see stuff with just the characters from Aladdin and no one talks about it
Not true
@@Robalexe agreed to disagree then
Oooh such a fascinating list. Couple of hard disagreements here: I adore Nimh and Toy Story 4, but I understand where you're coming from.
If it wasn’t for Jeremy, Timmy wouldn’t have gotten his medicine.
For some of the movies Brian didn’t like, I was just enjoying all the music. I wasn’t paying much attention to the storyline. Happy Feet is the main example I have for the music side.
Bro I loved Happy Feet as a kid but I haven't seen it in like forever-
(0:05) I don't usually have that with movies, but I do have it with video games.
Happy feet was my childhood obsession
Your opinion on Family Guy is similar to mine on Stuck in the Middle!
This is so awesome! Can't wait for the next one. Love your work bryan❤❤❤
That keyblade on the wall ❤
A movie others like that I never got into as much is Toy Story 3. It’s not a bad movie but I always felt it was hyped up more than it deserved. I’ll go ahead and head out now before the flame wars start.
I agree with most of your takes! Glad to known I’m not alone!
For me, the animated movies everyone loves but I don't are: "The Secret of NIMH", "Aladdin", "Moana", "Shrek" (all entries), and "Lilo and Stitch". As for the animated shows: "Adventure Time", "Kim Possible", "Chip N' Dale: Rescue Rangers", the original "DuckTales", and "The Proud Family".
I'm now really curious of Brian's opinion on one animated movie in particular. It's an old one. Watership Down. I haven't seen it in ages, but I remember it being extremely dark.
I can respect your opinion, even the secret of NIHM (I also didn’t care for happy feet)
Here 5 animated properties I don’t like but everyone else loves (no particular order)
5.Trolls World Tour
4.Lady And The Tramp
3.Phineas & Ferb
2.South Park
1.Pokémon I Choose You The Movie
You don't like Phineas and Ferb? Damn
@@RoseQuartz692 why do you say that like that’s the most surprising thing I’ve mentioned?
@@SnakeIsGambling6435 its the best non story cartoon
@@RoseQuartz692 umm no, that title goes to The Amazing World of Gumball, Spongebob, Bobs burgers, DarkWing Duck, Ed edd n Eddy, Regular Show, Smiling Friends, Kim Possible, Chowder, Hey Arnold. Actually if I named all the episodic cartoons that are better then Phineas&Ferb we would be here all day, don’t see why people love that show
@TheBatIsRad6436 Gumball has never been interested same goes to Chowder and Darkwing Duck and Ed Edd & Eddy Regular show I watched 10 Years ago around 2013-2014 and Family Guy is the only interesting adult cartoon SpongeBob I haven't watched in years Hey Arnold never been interested in Kim Possible never seen a full episode off and never heard about Smiling Friends
Here's my list, in no particular order:
-The land before time
-Cars
-Any Illumination movie that isn't The Super Mario Bros. Movie (one of my favorite movies) or Despicable Me 1
-Trolls
-Happy Feet (I'm still salty that it won Best Animated Feature despite using MOTION CAPTURE.)
You don't like The Land Before Time? Damm
Honestly, I also never understood why people loved Happy Feet. I think it just looks so weird, and I never really understood the storyline
Wow, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has hot takes about these movies 😂
(I’ve never seen Secret of Nihm, I’ve only read the book and that was ages ago so I don’t remember the plot much at all either haha)
I felt Despicable Me was a good movie, but the sequels, none of them (except for maybe Rise of Gru) really even came close to hitting that mark again. While the first one was about a villain who had a change of heart through adoption, all the others felt like they just turned the direction to generic spy film, which I guess can still be fun, but after what I felt were the heights of the original, they just did not feel like the sequels I would've hoped for.
It's strange you didn't like the first Happy Feet, but love the sequel cause of Robin Williams!
I totally respect your opinion, and I agree with you on all of these
Totally agree about Family Guy and Toy Story 4.
Toy Story 4 felt like a good movie but just not a Toy Story movie.
Toy Story 4 trust me you’re not alone when you say you don’t like it heck i don’t even care much about the 3rd one that said it has a reason to exist one example of an animated film everyone else likes but I don’t care for is lilo&stich
wait WHAT
*YOU DON’T LIKE DON BLUTH EITHER!?”
I honestly think "the Rats of NIMH" is an acquired taste. It was big when I was a kid, I loved it (the sequel was terrible though). I was an 80s baby, so I was deep into that style of storytelling... the adventure style with the creepy undertones . Well, I've been called weird because of it....movies like that and the Black Cauldron were some of my favorites, I loved that horror sneaking in.
But, you might find that the book it was based off could clear up some questions. Look for the book "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH"
The necklace is not in the book, that was only added for the movie... I don't understand it either.
However to answer the question: the animated movies i don't like...(please no hate here) any of the Barbie movies. Maybe it was my age, maybe it was I preferred action figures to Barbies. The stories, the acting, the animation style...just didn't peak my interest.
Brian hull have you seen violent night
Great video. I actually agree with your list. 😀
Don’t worry, dude. I dislike Toy Story 4, too for the same reasons.
Secret of nimh is not bad! Just the mashup song scene in Happy feet is ok while the others you mentioned are not my favorite even though Johnny depp is in couple family guy eps
I love anything that has to do with penguins
I love what you do
Happy feet was and is still my favorite movie this movie was my childhood and I loved Toy Story 4 I was satisfied with it.
Brian having a meltdown over secret of nim. Me: I have..NO idea what you're talking about.
***SPOILER WARNING***
No. The Secret of NIMH book is pretty much the same story wise, the whole backstory of the rats and what makes them so intelligent is explained. But also, there is no use of magic in the book at all. That was just added in the film for some reason, a plot device or something. I mean the story is perfectly fine without magic, I don't know why they felt the need to include it in the film.
And don't worry, Jeremy's character in the book isn't what you see in the film. He doesn't really do much in the book, but he does help the story progress in terms of helping Mrs Brisby (who is also called Mrs Frisby in the book, no idea why they changed it) and her family; mentioning the Great Owl and taking her there, as well as giving her family a ride to their summer home at the end. But that's just because she helped him; he was caught in wire and she saved him - like we see in the film.
Also a key difference I should mention is that the book doesn't have a villain. Jenner is mentioned in the book, but we're told by Nicodemus that Jenner and a bunch of other rats left those who escaped due to a major disagreement and are later hinted that he and the group of rats died. Whereas the film he is there, and wants to kill Nicodemus... he was clearly only included for an antagonist role because obviously the story needed it. No, no it clearly didn't and the book will prove it.
But yeah. I can understand where your coming from Brian, the animation and score are gorgeous - you can tell why it's considered one of Don Bluth's best films. I've just recently rewatched it due to reading the book beforehand; the film makes the plot quite convoluted especially with the whole magic thing.
I do recommend the book though if you haven't read it, the book is superior to the film. Was this helpful?
To answer your question, Mrs. Frisby was changed to Mrs. Brisby because after the book was published, frisbees became popular again, and the word was copyright claimed.
Not gonna lie I loudly gasped when you said you didn't like the secret of nimh but then you explained it and I was thinking yea that's fair
I'm just not used to hearing people say they don't like the secret of nimh 😅
it's the other Don Bluth films I'm used to hearing them say they don't like lol
you have to have not read the book to say give us Miss Brisbee OR the rats of Nimh but not both, not Miss Frizzby and the rats of Nimh. the film deviates from the book by making all the animals anthropomorphic and theres a magic amulet. in the book the rats clearly think more human than the field mice. the magical element added in can be a positive or a negative. nostalgia critic said the amulet adds more to the story so there are elements that represent nature, science, and the unknown/faith. I think all stunningly animated Don Bluth films are also odd stories with moments that make you go whuuuu?
i agree with you on TS 4
The only movie I seen out of your ranking is toy story 4 and I’m one of those people who like it but I will admit woody leaving the Gange at the end was sad but I’m one of those people who likes and loves these toy stories and I’m good on that.
Are you excited about The Wild Robot coming soon
Toy Story 5 is in development. I am excited but very wary.
I agree with you on Family Guy. The humor doesn’t work with me either.
Also a movie I think is overrated, is Toy Story.
Animated films that I find overrated, but others don't:
1.) Free Birds
2.) Igor
3.) The Emoji Movie
4.) Shark Tale
5.) Rover Dangerfield
6.) The Trumpet of The Swan
7.) The Christmas Dinosaur
I'll never understand why any of these had cult following.
The Emoji Movie and Shark Tale aren’t really overrated since everyone slams on them
It’s okay. I have a list of my own, even animated. I even recently seen a “unpopular” movie called King Solomon, and it felt disrespecting
I agree
I agree with not liking Toy Story 4, not only for all the reasons you stated, but because it also felt incredibly disrespectful to the previous movies and Andy.
He trusted Woody to Bonnie because she really seemed to want him and promised to take really good care of Woody... and then not only neglects him, she literally never noticed Woody went missing.
Andy SHOULD have kept Woody, because at least he wouldn't still have had someone who cared about him Asian from the other toys.
And don't get me started on what they did to Buzz and dropped his IQ significantly.
As for the Despicable Me sequels? I'm good with the original and 2. It's 3 and beyond where I lose all interest
It’s not that I think it’s bad, but I wasn’t that interested in Simpsons.
Also, while I love Frozen 2, I’ve grown a tad disinterested in the original Frozen. I can still enjoy it, it’s just Frozen 2 worked better with the fandom.
Agree
Strangly for me, I hated the first Frozen but really enjoyed the sequel.
I love penguins, they’re my favorite animal. I thought I would love happy feet, but I…HATED it
Here are my thoughts:
1. Never watched Family Guy, never will.
2. Toy Story 4 had one good thing - the duck and bunny characters who always fantasized about attacking the antique shop owner. That was pretty much it.
3. The first Despicable Me was just okay. The girls (particularly Agnes) were cute, and Vector was hilarious. That's about it.
4. I've never seen Happy Feet, but my parents have. They've told me Cars is a better film. I would likely agree with that, since I consider Cars to be pretty underrated. NOT Cars 2. That film is trash.
5. I've only seen the secret of NIMH once, and it was over a decade ago. I'm with you when ot comes to the animation. But keep in mind, it's based on a book. I don't know how faithful it was to the source material, as I never read the original book, but I think it's pretty good. This is the only one on your list that I disagree with. I can understand why you don't like it. The story seems to be going several different places at once. But I personally like it.
Ducky and Bunny were the only good thing about T. S. 4.
Dude, my sister's theory about CARS 2 makes the most sense: It's one of Mater's Tall Tales, just the Tallest Tale Ever. 👀
Family Guy is the only adult animated show I'm interested in
I HATE FAMILY GUY AS I HATE HELL! I feel like a brain cell and a piece of my soul dies whenever I see a clip from that show.
Toy Story should have ended with three. It had closure and the perfect farewell. Four, to me, was just a response to "NO! Woody and Bo Peep together forever!" And the fact that there’s possibly going to be a fifth: Pixar, you're beating a dead horse.
Despicable Me and Happy Feet, I've never seen and am making no plans to.
As for Secret of NIMH: you know what? No movie is perfect. Everything you said is correct. As a kid though, I never questioned it, thus I still have fond memories of it and as an adult I love the visuals, the story, and the characters, so I say the good outweighs the bad for this case. But everyone is entitled to his or her opinion so I respect yours, Brian.
I had to study the book of The Secret of Nimh at school and we also watched the film as part of that study here in the UK when I was around 13 I think. The book is soooo much better.
i think toy story 4 was unnessery but liked seeing Bonnie again
How do u not like or love toy story 4 its so popular there's going to be a part 5 already
Do a list of top 5 live action movies with cgi/ cartoon characters
Lion king (the original) isn't an overall depressing movie it takes a dark turn after the second act.
