My favorite part of the video was when you thought Chloe was agreeing with the hot take of 'Inside Out' being the worst Pixar film and Chloe was like, "chill, let me finish!"
Two hot takes 1. Toy Story is genuinely one of the greatest films of all time imo 2. The incredibles being in someone’s top 10 superhero films of all time is not a hot take
@22:17 my issue with this hot take is that Joy was purposely unlikeable. She was the “villain” of the story. She tries to abandon sadness for instance. She had to learn the error of her ways. So to say Inside out is bade because Joy is unlikable… is completely missing the point of the movie
You said exactly what I was thinking I can understand not liking her but that’s the whole characters arc if she was likable throughout she would feel shallow that’s why the scene where she is in the memory dump is so important it’s the moment we see her realize her mistakes and that sadness is important it helps humanize her in way that makes me like her and sets up the scene and the rest of the movie perfectly
I personally wouldn't go as far as to say Joy is the villain, more so a misunderstood protagonist, her main intention is to make Riley happy which is not a bad goal but in the context of where she is she needs Sadness more and Joy just didn't realize that, not to mention Riley's mom already put kind of a burden on her to stay happy during a stressful situation which only put more pressure on Joy to make her happy
You guys are all misunderstanding the comment. The first comment was saying _Riley_ is unlikable, not Joy. And the second comment saying Joy is the villain isn’t a negative thing nor is it a hot take, Joy was intentionally the antagonist that was the whole point of the movie
The people who say Woody acted out of character in Toy Story 4 don’t actually understand his character at all. He’s not a one dimensional loyalty robot that automatically defaults to the same programming no matter the situation or circumstance. He’s a character with real emotions and internal conflicts. Every single movie challenges Woody’s beliefs and world view. Woody acts “out of character” in every movie compared to how he acted in the previous movie. Woody in TS3 is DRASTICALLY different from Woody in TS1. He is constantly growing and evolving as a character. Toy Story is my all time favorite film franchise and TS4 only made my love and appreciation for the world and characters a lot stronger than it already was. It’s not perfect. I do think it is overall the weakest of the four, but it’s still a great movie.
Same here. Finally, somebody who understands what the movies are trying to say instead of taking things at face value and reacting like an entitled man baby who thinks they know how to write characters better than actual screenwriters. Then again, that's most of the animation community in a nutshell, isn't it?
I find it interesting that a lot of criticisms call certain movies bad because the main character is unlikable, but that brings me to a counterpoint with a little film called "The Emperor's New Groove" A movie where you could argue the lead is the MOST unlikable lead in ANY Disney/Pixar film, yet its deemed a huge classic because its humor makes you skim over that with how fast paced and clever it is. I would argue that having unlikeable leads gives you that room to see the growth and development of the people you're going to be around with for the longest. If theyre already inherently good or perfect, its creatively more challenging to work in a storyline that could be as compelling as, say, Inside Out or Toy Story. By showing them at their imperfect stages first, it makes the journey all that more fulfilling when Joy embraces Sadness and Woody befriends Buzz.
I'm actually surprised at all the hate Turning Red has been getting. I thought it was generally well received. Never knew so many people think it's the worst of Pixar. For me, The Good Dinosaur is Pixar's worst.
It was, but the way they handled puberty and highlighted menstruation and sexual awakening in the movie was pretty controversial with conservative audiences
It was not well received and I think it’s the opposite that people are coming around to it, I still believe it’s a mediocre film with a bad message it’s on the same tier as raya and the last dragon
@@GopackgoinfinityI have to disagree. I like the message in the film. I think a lot of people think it’s promoting children disobeying their parents, but it’s more so promoting parents and children accepting their differences and having a healthy relationship that isn’t too restrictive.
The Zurg twist is the biggest mistake Pixar has made since Cars 2. Anyone who wanted to see Lightyear wanted a film like the early 2000s Buzz Lightyear Star command Series,and instead the choice to deconstruct him and focus on his flaws shows that they'd rather focus on his mistakes rather than the good things he accomplished.
Your daughter is so interesting to listen to ! You should do the same format with Disney / marvel / dreamworks etc ! Talking about broken characters and crying because of the hot sauce, that’s hilarious 😂
Cars 2 is solid by me. Turning Red I think is fine, but I just can’t connect with it as an 18 year old dude. I get that it means a lot to other people tho, and that’s cool, but the film just means nothing to me personally. I find spy cars and Mater’s Tall Tales more entertaining than gyrating to make a point 🤷♂️
@@SeanChandlerTalksAbout As a fan of your channel, we’re way more on the same boat with the last three (I guess 4 as I think Toy Story has overstated its welcome starting with the fourth movie… and then came Lightyear and Pixar really killed it with that one for more reasons than it’s money losses, making us wonder how they could possibly be worse at this rate… and then they announced the potential of turning into a reboot and sequel factory, which you did a great video about) hot takes not being too spicy than the first thirds of them. P. S. If you Chandlers saw ElectricDragon505’s videos (which you probably might), you’d really find out that he’s another one of those “Disney shills” (or for lack of a better term, a UA-camr that while ambitious as he does Animation Lookback and did The Epic Mickey Files and The Art of AniMat, can also be defensive of the current state of Disney even if they were better before the 2010s-2020s before they became more frequently safe and lazy to the point where my appreciation for the otherwise imperfect Universal only got bigger and bigger even if he may be more critical towards what they make, and this is coming from someone who used to watch a lot of his content as a teenager. Then again, he is the same guy who defended Lightyear over Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, take for instance.)
Not trying to make this sound like a hot take (because it's not the hottest of the takes today) but I really dislike Incredibles 2. It looks decent on the outside, but when you compare it to the first Movie (I consider the first to be Pixar's Masterpiece) you really start to realize how much of a downgrade is. The story is not really compelling or interesting, a lot of the arcs are half-cooked, and the worst aspect of it is that all of the parr family characters are insanely downgraded. It's also a movie that is way too safe and just wants to pander to audiences, it never takes risks. The first movie has amazing twists like the superhero genocide reveal scene or high tension moments like the plane chase sequence or the suicide attemp scene. In the second movie the higlight was a bunch of funny jack jack moments that didn't even contribute to the main story. It's not the worst one, but I would agree that it is the most dissapointing Pixar film. I believe that they should have made a time jump to see grown up characters to see the story actually go somewhere, not just another superhero movie.
Alright here are the Hot Takes: Soul is extremely overrated. I find it long, boring, and very scatterbrained. It could’ve had a slam dunk of an ending but it didn’t take it. Elemental is the worst Pixar film and Incredibles 2 is right behind it. Cars 2 is in the upper half of Pixar movies. It’s extremely fun and over the top. It’s a Pixar movie that isn’t trying to force you to get emotional at the end, it just wants to be cool and fun and I like it for that. It’s a very unique film in the Pixar catalogue. After Toy Story 3, the only Pixar movies that felt like home runs to me were Inside Out and Coco. Nothing else has hit that top tier since.
Here are my hot takes: - Cars 1 is a 9.5/10 for me and placed at number 5 for me among my Pixar ranking. It’s also one of my favorite movies ever. - Cars 2 is a 7/10 for me. Huge guilty pleasure. Cars 3 is great too, 8/10 for me - Toy Story 2 is my favorite of the trilogy - A Bug’s Life and Monsters University are underrated. Incredibles 2 is not very good imo, but it is still serviceable. - I don’t connect with Soul much, so it’s lower on my Pixar ranking. Like number 20 something. Same with Turning Red. - I like Luca. I’ve actually come to like it more than before. I still don’t get the overwhelming praise it gets tho, that it’s one of Pixar’s best, it’s one of the best animated movies ever or in recent years, etc.
@@dannytooley7530 mad respect. Ratatouille is my favorite Pixar movie. It’s one of the few movies out there I’d give a 10/10, and it’s really high up among my favorite movies of all time, like my number 12 I think
Onward is Pixar’s most underrated movie. I think it’s great and should be talked about it. It’s unfortunate it came out a week before the pandemic started. I think it’s one of the most emotional movies that Pixar has done.
disagree.... it could've been made better. Like if the dad wasn't just a pair of legs throughout the film and the brothers got to spend more than 5 minutes with him. Also Ian reminded me a lot like Arlo being scared, but then lashing out at his brother wasn't fun to watch
I agree. My dad wasn’t around much growing up, so I essentially grew up with my brother. This is the only movie in my entire life that has made me cry. Top 5 for me personally
Hot take: a bugs a life is my favorite Pixar movie, because while not the best Pixar film it’s the most comforting one and that has more power than being extremely deep or complex
Hot Takes: The recent Pixar movies are mostly fine, but the animation is very stale and just makes watching them worse Soul is just so boring, and I feel that the message could've been much more potent if the ending didn't have Joe switching bodies with the cat, and if the afterlife just looked more appealing.
Really? I think the animation is the best part of them! I don’t like Turning Red very much, but it was very unique and fun to look at. Luca barely even looks like a Pixar movie, and I say that in a good way.
Huh, I disagree completely! I think the highlight of recent Pixar movies is their excellent animation. But otherwise, they have not been interesting at all in the last few years. The one exception to this for me, funnily enough, IS Soul, which is one of my top 5 Pixar movies of all time.
My hot take is that a lot of the beloved Pixar movies from the late 2000s- early 2010s (Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Inside Out) feel like bloated shorts. Ratatouille in particular feels likes a tech demo, while Up gets pretty bad after the first few minutes. All the best parts of WALL-E could be condensed into a short without all the fatphobia and repeated Hello Dolly songs. And I still maintain that "Riley's First Date" is better than most of Inside Out (although I do love me some Bing Bong). Also, I guess liking A Bug's Life is a hot take now? Seems like this one has not aged well for most people. I like how it has a legit, non-twist villain.
About your point on Turning Red, I absolutely agree! Why would parents be okay with wanting their kids getting all of their needs met from their friends. It sounds more like a 'choose your family' theme that strongly exists in the non hetero community. Also, from my point of view, Turning Red was a non hetero focused film. Think about it this way. One of her friends, the tall one who looked kind of like a boy. Did she really have a big crush on the boys in the bands? Or was she putting on a front in order to stay close with her female friends that she's in love with? This is a common theme with non hetero girls who are only into girls, or barely into boys. All of the Turning Red girls were coded this way. Even the mother was coded like a woman who married this strange frumpy man because of social conditions, but nothing about the couple showed any sign of romantic attraction. Nothing wrong about the film, the problem is the dishonesty of how these kinds of films are marketed to make people think it's designed for them. And yes, what's with all of these deconstruction of male characters and turning them into broken old men? It's all for a different demographic.
17:05 "As a fan of the CW Flash show" don't say that out loud I hear Madvocate coming down to get you and make sure you regret ever saying that or anything like that.
With you mentioning Disney's history, one of my biggest hot takes with the Animated Canon is that I find the package film era to be extremely underrated, as I really appreciate the large variety we get from it. Also, Melody Time is actually in my top 5 favorite films from the Disney Animated Canon. I'm that big of a fan of it.
About the inside out comment, I think that Joy is supposed to be the villain of the movie, to make us understand that we also need the sadness as well. Also, I think she is more of an antagonist rather than a villain
I think she was really passive aggressive at the very least. She was stubborn, controlling and was apprehensive towards Sadness yes, but that wasn't her entire character. She's still the living embodiment of happiness after all so she's mostly a friendly person at the end of the day. It's just those negative traits of her personality were just obstacles she needed to overcome within herself. Now imagine if she truly was the villain of the movie. So fixated on trying to make herself Riley's default emotion that she would callously push away the other emotions just to make herself feel superior and would especially treat Sadness like a punching bag moreso than an important asset to Riley's mind. Then she would have been truly an unlikable protagonist. The same thing can be said about Woody. Need I remind everyone of the infamous Black Friday Reel?
@@noobmasterruben5167 Unlikable but eventually grows out of that stage once he accepts Buzz. And besides, learning the history of Toy Story's production, Woody almost became the villain in similar fashion to Lotso from the third movie.
This is off topic from this video but I just wanted to mention an Easter Egg in Inside Out 2. Spoiler Warning if you haven’t seen Inside Out 2!!!!!!!!! Here is a really nice Easter Egg. When they showed all the emotions in their bedroom sleeping, when they zoom over to Joy, sitting next to her bed on a shelf is an origami figurine of Bing Bong and his rocket. Such a nice touch that even if Riley will never remember Bing Bong, Joy will always remember him and his sacrifice. 💔🥺😭
@@NinthShinigami It was such a nice and beautiful touch. I started to cry a little 😭🥺 Joy will always remember him and his sacrifice. We all will remember him. You will forever be remembered Bing Bong ❤️
I actually agree heavily with this. Woody is so damn unlikable as a protagonist in a way that really makes me not wanna see him succeed at all. People always seem to bring up Joy in that she's an unlikable protagonist, but Woody is so much worse in TS1. Joy is doing what she does to make Rileys life better, whereas Woody is completely selfish. I understand it's the single most important animated movie like ever, but from a purely critical pov, it's the weakest in the franchise for me.
like many the first film wasn’t meant to be a franchise, each film they come up with new ways to mold these characters. i definitely agree with this, yet it’s still very enjoyable
@@benh4579 It’s a great movie and it sets up woody and Buzz but I feel like it’s three sequels tell more compelling stories. But Tbf for me that as good thing because sequels are suppose to try to be better then the original.
I would say that Toy Story 4 is more necessary to the story than 1. 4 is worse but only because of the old characters. Andy has left Woody, now he isn't the favorite toy, so he can do what he was tempted to do. People hate on TS4 because TS3 was the perfect ending. I would argue it works better as the second last. TS4 just screwed up with all the previous characters. 2, 3, and 4 all tackle similar themes, none of which are in the original.
Toy Story 1 is not overrated. It may look pedestrian now but it was very innovative at the time. It was the first fully CGI movie and made great innovations in CGI technology. After Toy Story 99% of theatrical animation became 3D. Its good to respect your elders.
I agree with your statement. But for me I miss hand drawn animation films, I wish we live in a world where hand drawn and CGI can coexist but we don’t live in that reality, or I’m just an old timer who stays in the past.
@@JonathanGaeta I agree I love both. We do still get 2d hand drawn stuff. Its all over tv and we get a ton of anime. I watched Spy x Family: Code White in the movie theater earlier this year.
@@benh4579 Its still one of my favs.Calling it overrated is like calling Star Wars overrated. If you look at it now it looks like any other movie but back in the day it was innovative for its advances in technology. It was one of the first blockbuster movies to have a toy line. I saw it for the first time months ago and said "This movie is ok. I acknowledge that it made an enormous impact in film history. I might have appreciated it more if I was younger. It's a solid average movie."
I also wouldnt call Toy story 1 overrated, too. That said as more time goes on. I favour Ratatouille, Coco and Wall E more. Probably because I resonate with those films more
Hot take: Toy Story 4 is as good/better than Toy Story 1. Not hot takes but I think Toy Story 3 and 2 are the best Pixar sequels/best film in the sequel.
How much Pepto-Bismol do you buy? I would be s@itting flames for the next 38 hours if I was messing with those hot sauces. I wouldn't say Pixar is dead but I think it's past its prime and I also hate Inside Out with a passion. I find 90s-2000s Pixar to be the best years overall.
When I heard the positive and negative takes on Turning Red, the negative ones were asking "why???" from a number of perspectives and the positive ones were full of far less praise for the film itself than for the fact that it pissed people off. Which, along with the film itself, just made the whole experience around its release a toxic beehive.
I really enjoy Incredibles 2, my only issue is the third act since I don't think it does anything good with its villain and it is until the third act the villain is revealed, so I think the third act is wasted potential, other than that, I really like it.
Totally agree with you about the Zurg twist. I was still on board for the whole movie until the twist happened. The movie immediately drops two stars from me. I can still forgive that if the alternate Buzz is not Zurg but just a new villain
Hey I wrote the comment for inside out, but i meant that not only Joy was unlikable but also Rhiley. I did not like how she just went agaisnt her mother and ran away from home
Because she was simply misled. Joy's false worldview accidentally tricked the other emotions into thinking that going to where she had been happy. All the emotions she could feel were telling her to run away. Anger would of reminded her how angry she was that she moved. Disgust would remind her of how much she doesn't like San Francisco. Fear would remind her of how scared she was of school in San Francisco. Joy would remind her how happy she was in Minnesota. But sadness would make her realize how much she would miss her parents if she left. Also, what do you mean it is boring? IMO it is the funniest pixar film.
It was cool of you to include Chloe. I was actually very interested in her takes, particularly on Inside Out. Seems like a future reviewer in the making.
I think Incredibles 2 is just okay. There are things I like about it, but 2 things hold it back for me. The baby being OP with every superpower and a villain twist when they didn't really need it If there's another movie in that world, I would like it to be focused either on Frozone (as a spin-off) or Violet (as a 3rd and final chapter)
Toy Story 3 was a conclusion to Andy’s storyline. Toy Story 4 is a conclusion to woody’s storyline. Toy Story 4’s message is that toys being brought to life is not just about them getting to walk and talk, woody has a life of his own and he wants to achieve some purpose in his life, instead of being what he was supposed to be
Joy being unlikeable is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Her being unlikeable for supressing the other emotions is not a valid critique. The movie calls it out as a character flaw and she realized what whe was doing was wrong, so then she lets the other emotions also control Riley because she realized there importance. It's like saying Mr. Incredible is a terrible character because he ignored his family. Sully is a terrible character because he focused on boo and ignored Mike. Simba is a terrible character because he didn't want to save the pride lands. Emperor Kuzko is a terrible character because he was a tyrant. Its called a character arc.
My thoughts on these hot takes: 1. Toy Story 4 is not an abomination but it is not good and bottom tier Pixar. The only Pixar film I found to be an "abomination" is The Good Dinosaur. 2. I understand the divisiveness of Turning Red but I'm personally on the positive side as I really like it. The message of the movie wasn't to put your friends over your mom to seek help but rather to accept your family instead of turning your back on them for your friends. 3. This was me back in 2013 when I was 9-years-old and even had an MU party for my 10th birthday in 2014. I still love the movie as of now and as a college freshman (incoming sophomore) myself, it hits harder to watch a movie about a college freshman. My only flaw with the movie was how they did Randall dirty. 4. I go back and forth between that but I think Incredibles 2 is Pixar's most overhated movie. It's way better than what people make it out to be for. 5. To quote Winston Deavor: "I disagree strongly" nothing else to say. 6. Ok this is too much for me. Sure, Pixar started releasing misses after Toy Story 3 but saying they should have stopped after that is too far. There are modern Pixar films that feel like classics such as Inside Out, Coco, Soul, etc. (why does no one talk about the latter two?) 7. Cars is my favorite in the trilogy and I view it as a guilty pleasure but that's only because I'm not a Cars fan at all. This franchise is not for me. 8. Lightyear is a good movie and gets way too much hate, but the Zurg twist wasn't good. It made no sense. But I will say that wasn't my biggest problem with the movie. My main problem with Lightyear was how the tone felt inconsistent. In the first 30 minutes, you could tell the film wanted to be a grounded and serious movie but then we get introduced to characters who turn out to be comic reliefs making goofy ahh jokes and dumb decisions. The 2nd half of the movie didn't feel in line with what the movie was striving for. 9. I'm not mad that someone called Inside Out the worst but I hate the reasons for it. Riley being mean spirited in the movie is just Riley being human as human beings can be assholes. And the fact that your brain can be a mess is just a part of life. I do think Inside Out is amazing but I prefer the 2nd one. 10. I do think the Toy Story franchise is a tad bit overrated in a sense that there are better Pixar films out there than the Toy Story movies like The Incredibles, Wall-E, Ratatouille, etc. I even prefer Soul and Coco over the first 2 Toy Story films. Toy Story 3 is easily my favorite one.
I’m surprised by all the hate I see Up getting. It’s my comfort pick along with Cars for my 2 favorite films from the studio. Russel, Doug, Carl, and Kevin are just fun to see go on an adventure with. I also love the arc that Carl goes on with Ellie and it leads to a emotional and satisfying end to his character when he finally lets her go and decides to live, the metaphor of him throwing away his stuff to get the house to float is perfect, he’s finally getting rid of the baggage that’s been holding him down his whole life. Doug, Russel, and Kevin are all very lovable side characters too, especially Doug.
Is there going to be a sequel to this video? 1. Inside Out is an amazing and thematically emotional film, but I couldn’t get into its speculative elements. 2. Coco is Pixar’s worst film, but in terms of general movie going experience (no Pixar bias), it’s just an okay film. You can still like Coco. But if anyone says Elena Rivera, Miguel’s grandmother, you are a monster!
My hottest take is that Nemo is the worst Pixar film Massive Problem #1: Only three scenes are crucial to the plot. The scenes where Nemo gets taken away and when he reunites with Marlin, along with the turtles scene that transport them across the ocean, are the only scenes in the movie that couldn't be easily written out of the script. The shark scene, the seagulls, the jellyfish, even the fish tank scenes don't affect the plot. Marlin does find the mask during the shark scene, but that could happen in any other scene. Also, neither of the 2 climaxes affect the plot. The net scene and the chaos docter scene are both unnecessary if the fish had escaped. Massive Problem #2: The adventure across the ocean is run entirely on luck. They accidentally run into the sharks where there just so happens to be a mask that tells him the location of his son. Marlin just so happens to run into a fish that inexplicably can speak whale and can read. (It isn't explained how she can do either of these things until the sequel.) The Angler fish that almost kills them gets trapped by the mask completely by accident. They run into a group of fish that can tell them where they need to go to get to the current that brings them to Marlin's son. The Jellyfish form a convenient opening for Marlin and Dory to escape. Once they get out, they faint and wake up in the current they were trying to get to. Eventually they end up on a dock next to a pelican that can take Marlin to his son. Marlin's journey to find his son was run by luck, not by him making decisions, like it should be. Massive Problem #3. All the characters are horribly written and 1 dimensional. Marlin is both extremely annoying because of his lack of redeeming traits. He is overprotective and has a cliche backstory. He isn't funny. Dory has short term memory loss. She can inexplicably read and speak whale even though all marine life appear to speak English in this film. Crush is shown to be "so cool" Bruce, well, Bruce gets his own section. The fish that inexplicably have perfect coordination to make shapes mock Marlin for asking them to stop quizzing Dory on ocean animals so they can help him find his son. The worst offenders are the tank gang and Nemo. The tank gang includes worse Doc Hudson, germaphobic fish, germaphobic crab #2, fish obsessed with bubbles, starfish with no traits, a puffer fish, and a fish that thinks her reflection is her sister. They send Nemo into the cleaner because of a obviously bad plan made by someone who notoriously makes bad plans. What could go wrong? Nemo, scared of a girl he heard a legend about from fish he just met, attempts to execute the plan he had nearly died the last time he tried. Also, why did the fish call the bubbles the "Ring Of Fire?" Those are bubbles. You have a fish that is inexplicably addicted to bubbles that would tell you. Massive Problem #4. The shark scene makes no sense. An over intimidating shark subverts our expectations and makes us think that he is going to eat them. No, he runs a group of sharks that want to quit eating fish. But then why was he so overly intimidating to the fish. And why did he make Marlin and Dory confess to eating fish? Based on the way he saw them first, he clearly didn't mistake them for sharks. Scenario 1: Bruce originally thought they were fish, but then changed his mind and thought they were fish. Scenario 2: Bruce assumed that Marlin and Dory are cannibals. Scenario 3: He thought they were some other predator of fish which would explain both scenarios. Also, why did he assume Marlin was lying, but believed Dory. He didn't know about her short term memory loss, which would only make him less convinced if he knew.
While I agree about the twerking aspects, was definitely an odd choice I disagree about the overbearing aspect of parents. The over bearing, over protective parents who have expectations that is very hard to reach is something I do think a lot of people can relate with.
Glad I made it in the video. Naturally both you and your daughter dunked on my opinion but it wouldn't be a good hot take if it didn't get that reaction lol. I still stand by my thoughts of course
I think inside out is one of the best Pixar movies ever, just behind the Toy Story movies, can’t see inside out 2 until next month but I can’t wait to see it.
literally loggin in just to comment : I get the most all these but Inside Out is where I draw the line. calling it the worst and the character unlikable shows a lack of understanding in children. She got uprooted from everything she knew and tried to adjust. The ONLY way for it to be 'overall boring' or to see Joy as the villain is to miss the point of the movie entirely! everything doesnt have to be action pack all the time, sometimes the movie is in the dialogue and character development. FOR REAL! like just bc you have to have your brain over stimulated and entertained all the time, does not mean every movie is boring if it doesnt match your dopamine addiction. Joy is JOY for a reason, its going to conflict with sadness, the the POINT OF THE MOVIE!!! she learned at the end why sadness is important. This movie depicts and shows emotional development in the best way! Rant over
I remeber 'Lightyear' being one of my top 2 most anticipated movies of 2022, and aside from Sox who is the G.O.A.T., a great first 35 minutes and the breathtaking animation, It was a major disappointment. The three screw ups got on my nerves, the Zurg twist was awful, and it kind of ruined itself in the first minute by telling you to watch this movie from Andy's point of view. But the best thing to come out of the movie for me was the experience watching it with friends who were high off their asses.
I love the Toy Story movies but one hot take nobody agrees w/ is that the 2nd one sucks. I despise it bc it feels like nothing happens for most of the runtime and the prospector is insufferable to me.
Of the hot takes I get many of them, the Toy Story 4 and turning red. Though I enjoyed Toy Story 4 and turning red I get where people like Sean are coming from but I know people who did have over bearing and toxic parents growing up and I think we all know there’s people out there who should never have become parents who are.
My opinion on each take: #1: Mixed Feelings; I wouldn’t call Toy Story 4 an abomination, but it does have some flaws in my mind that hold it back from being a great Toy Story film. I think it’s good, but very flawed. #2: Agree; Turning Red is a movie that I just didn’t connect with at all. I thought the message was terrible, I didn’t care for any of the characters, and it was targeted too heavily to an audience where it wasn’t relatable for me. #3: Mixed Feelings; I think MU is good enough. I think the message is good, and the building friendship between Mike and Sully is a lot of fun, but the story feels much less imaginative because it feels like a generic high school sports movie. #4: Disagree; I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I think Incredibles 2 is kind of sloppy. The storytelling is pretty messy, the villain is totally nonsensical, and the plot is just a rehash of the original. #5: Disagree; I think Finding Dory is fine, I don’t have any gigantic issues with it, but again, it feels derivative of the original film, so I’m more likely to rewatch Finding Nemo. #6: Heavily Disagree!!! I still think Pixar has a good track record after Toy Story 3. Sure they’ve had their misses, but their films just went from special to good in my eyes. #7: Disagree; Cars 2 is a film I grew up with, but it’s probably the dumbest Pixar movie. If they had made this a spin-off direct to video movie which had Mater in the lead, that would be fine with me, but as an official movie, I don’t think it works. #8: Mixed Feelings; The twist does feel like a big retcon of what was established in Toy Story 2, but I think the twist serves for Buzz’s character development. I don’t love the twist, or the movie all that much, but I don’t think it’s horrible. #9: Couldn’t Disagree More; Joy is meant to be somewhat antagonistic but gets to grow, it’s a beautiful and creative story that’s relatable. #10: Disagree; While I think the film itself is quaint compared to animated films nowadays, it’s historically important and that cannot change. It’s still a lot of fun, I understand the concept of Woody being unlikable, but I think his arc works. This took a while, I hope you enjoyed my voice in the conversation. 😮💨
18:21-18:54 I respectfully disagree there. Sounds to me like this is coming from an obliviously angry point of view. Yes, we all can/should love our heroes. But, realistically, they shouldn't be placed on a pedestal that is unattainable. Wolverine will forever be my favorite superhero, but I don't think he should be treated as such. But, hey, that's just my opinion.
not directed at Pixar themselves but at their fan base especially the ones who think every Pixar movie after the 2000s are all bad which is just not true, Pixar have made so many great movies post Toy Story 3 but are unfairly judged
My thoughts on each of these 1. I agree with the haters. I think Toy Story 4 is one of the worst Pixar movies. 2. I don't agree. I think Turning Red is a fun movie. I don't think it's the best one, nor the worst one, I consider Turning Red to be a middle tier Pixar movie. 3. I agree! MU had a great message. The haters are just middle aged men who are way past their college movie phase. But to many of us, MU is probably the first college movie that we'll ever watch. And it is great! 4. I don't agree at all. Incredibles 2 feels like a direct-to-video sequel that just got a big budget and a theatrical release. It's not as big, epic, and grandiose as the first Incredibles movie. 5. I don't agree, but I kinda get where people are coming from. When I watched Finding Nemo and Dory back to back, and not gonna lie, both felt pretty equal. I just like Nemo a little more than Dory. Probably due to nostalgia. 6. I don't agree at all. While I do understand the saying "you either die as a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain", Pixar is still a business. And if they just decide to call it quits after Toy Story 3, that's honestly a pretty stupid move to make as a movie studio, or business in general. 7. I don't agree. However, I also don't agree that Cars 2 is the worst Pixar movie of the bunch. Because it's far too enjoyable compared to something boring like The Good Dinosaur, Toy Story 4 or Lightyear. Cars 2 has a lot of action going on. 8. I'm split. I still think the Lightyear Zurg twist is really really stupid. But I do agree that it does create the conflict of the movie. The idea that Buzz learns from his mistakes was sorta neat, but it was executed horribly. And I agree with you that Disney's old man deconstruct cliché is getting old, and they should stop ruining our childhood characters this way. Lightyear is my least favorite Pixar movie of all time. 9. I don't know what to say. I don't think Inside Out is Pixar's worst movie, but I kinda agree with the problems these people brought up. Inside Out 2 hasn't released in my country yet, so I can't tell if it's better or worse than the first one yet. 10. Yeah no. Toy Story is film history. These people need to understand how important Toy Story is to the movie industry. While I do agree that the characters are flawed, people need to remember that pretty much every character in this movie goes through an arc. Woody learns not to be jealous. Buzz learns he isn't a real space ranger, and that's okay. Andy's toys learn that everything was a big misunderstanding. Sid's toys learn to stand up to their oppressor. And Sid learns that toy lives matter. So yeah, everyone starts off as a flawed character, but they do go through an arc. So I kinda agree about the unlikeability part in the beginning of the movie, but they improve by the end of the movie, and the characters become far more likeable in Toy Story 2 and 3, which is definitely one big reason why I prefer Toy Story 2 and 3 over Toy Story 1. But I don't think it's overrated.
Can’t believe you blindsided us with a huge Syndrome is uninteresting hot take! Actually might be one of the biggest hot takes in the entire video despite not being mentioned as such!
While I enjoy some Pixar movies, I will always kind of have a personal bias against them, just because of the fact that they basically killed 2D animated movies from Disney and made them just go fully with the CG animation. And I just don’t really like the way CG animated movies look. I think 2D is so much better and I kind of wish that Disney stuck with that style for their movies and just let Pixar do the 3D style.
Do not like Incredibles 2. All the lessons Bob learned about family and letting go of his past as THE superhero to be part of a team and family just disappear overnight. But the second film starts the next day. It has almost no real character development or meaningful plot elements. It is just an empty popcorn flick. With a truly awful villain motivation. Why wouldn’t she be most mad that her dad was too stupid to have his super hero phones in the safe room? And supers were already illegal. Why would she try to make them legal just to make them extra super duper illegal? It is just a bad movie. Not just a bad Pixar movie but a bad movie. Like most of the post Endgame MCU - empty super hero flavored junk. Bird is one of the best directors and I cannot believe he came back for that. He has my two favorite Pixar films, probably the best MI movie and the Iron Giant. Just baffling.
I did not realize that thinking Incredibles 2 is better than the first is a hot take. I will have to rewatch them both, but I just loved Jack Jack's character.
Also, I think "Incredibles 2" has more action in it when compared to the original. I think they definitely stepped it up a bit with more action sequences that are in the sequel. And there are definitely a lot more superheroes in it when compared to the original, as well. I mean, you've got all of those different superheroes with so many different super powers in the movie. And they're utilized quite well when the Parr family is on that big boat near the end of the film. The Parr family is the Fantastic 5 taking on a bunch of different superheroes on a big boat in the finale! And it's just totally freaking awesome! I do love the original "The Incredibles," but "Incredibles 2" is my favorite of the two. Both movies though are some of my favorite Disney films & Pixar films ever. 🦸♂
I haven't even seen Inside out, but even I can see the charm of it. I've watched, maybe, the last like 20 minutes or so and I think it's a genuine heartfelt movie. Cars 2 and incredibles 2 are both some of my favorite pixar movies. Cars 2 I get the hate, because it's pretty inconsistent in its tone and it's kinda cringe, but i really like Lightning's character arc and the message about corruption and fossil fuels. Now incredibles 2 was a movie where I never understood why it got so much hate. Lastly, I think toy story 4 is a pretty good movie. Nothing great like the og 3 but not the monstrosity everyone makes it out to be.
Here are my reactions to these flaming hot takes: 1: Toy Story 4. While I don’t think it’s an abomination, I do agree that it cheapens the perfect ending of Toy Story 3. It ultimately just feels so unnecessary! 2: Turning Red. I am yet to see this film so I can’t comment but from I have heard, I don’t think I will like it anyway and I have no real interest in watching it anytime soon! 3: Monster’s University. While I don’t think it’s a bad film, I do think it fails to capture the magic of what Pixar is known for. It’s just a rather forgettable film that never really leaves much of an impression on me. 4: The Incredibles 2. I definitely disagree with this one! The first Incredibles is one of my favourite films period. I was so excited for a sequel and while I didn’t exactly hate it, I did feel both disappointed and underwhelmed by it. 5: Finding Dory. Another one that I wholeheartedly disagree with! Finding Nemo is an absolute classic and I have always loved the themes it explores. I think Finding Dory is a fun but forgettable film that doesn’t hold a candle to the original! 6: “Pixar is dead” I think Pixar has struggled a lot recently with failing to capture the magic of their past films but in no way do I think they are finished as a studio! Pixar is an incredibly successful studio despite some recent misses and disappointments. They just need to get back on track with what they used to be good at! 7: Cars 2. While I don’t think it’s as good as the first film, I do think it is a little over hated in my opinion. In all honesty, I would say that I prefer Cars 2 to Cars 3! 8: Lightyear Zurg Twist. I think the film had potential but it ultimately squanders this and not only is it a disappointing prequel to the far superior Toy Story films, it’s also a rather frustrating watch! 9: Inside Out. Unpopular opinion here but I think Inside Out is a tad overrated! I think it’s a good film but not a great film. It’s just never really been a film I hold in high regard. 10: “Toy Story is overrated” The first 3 Toy Story films are some of my favourite animated films as well some of my favourite films of all time! They are light years (pun intended!) ahead of any animated film that comes out these days.
Joy being the villain of Inside Out… was the point lol. Also just in case anyone hasn’t pointed it out yet the comment was saying _Riley_ is unlikable, that’s what they meant by “main character girl”
I for sure agree on Incredibles 2, both films are really solid but the sequel just feels so much more refined and that they took everything that made the first film so great and improved it, the animation is incredible

My favorite part of the video was when you thought Chloe was agreeing with the hot take of 'Inside Out' being the worst Pixar film and Chloe was like, "chill, let me finish!"
Hand to the face too, haha!
“Daddy, chill”
@@jadencastowhat the hell is even that
I'm not in the boat of Toy Story 4 being an abomination...But it is by far the most unnecessary Pixar film to date.
3 theatrical cars movies exist
@@austindolan7182But I think Cars 3 was the best one.
@@austindolan7182 3 was completely and totally necessary if you ask me
light year is a good movie but shouldn’t exist as well
It is but I really enjoy it.
Two hot takes
1. Toy Story is genuinely one of the greatest films of all time imo
2. The incredibles being in someone’s top 10 superhero films of all time is not a hot take
I agree with both.
That’s fair I probably wouldn’t put incredibles in my top 10 but I could see someone doing it
I agree but tbh both takes are pretty common :/
The Incredibles is top 5
The Incredibles is my #4 favorite superhero movie of all time
@22:17 my issue with this hot take is that Joy was purposely unlikeable. She was the “villain” of the story. She tries to abandon sadness for instance. She had to learn the error of her ways. So to say Inside out is bade because Joy is unlikable… is completely missing the point of the movie
You said exactly what I was thinking I can understand not liking her but that’s the whole characters arc if she was likable throughout she would feel shallow that’s why the scene where she is in the memory dump is so important it’s the moment we see her realize her mistakes and that sadness is important it helps humanize her in way that makes me like her and sets up the scene and the rest of the movie perfectly
Furthermore I think it's so interesting that a Pixar film had our protagonist also be the "villain." That's so cool!
I personally wouldn't go as far as to say Joy is the villain, more so a misunderstood protagonist, her main intention is to make Riley happy which is not a bad goal but in the context of where she is she needs Sadness more and Joy just didn't realize that, not to mention Riley's mom already put kind of a burden on her to stay happy during a stressful situation which only put more pressure on Joy to make her happy
You guys are all misunderstanding the comment. The first comment was saying _Riley_ is unlikable, not Joy. And the second comment saying Joy is the villain isn’t a negative thing nor is it a hot take, Joy was intentionally the antagonist that was the whole point of the movie
The people who say Woody acted out of character in Toy Story 4 don’t actually understand his character at all. He’s not a one dimensional loyalty robot that automatically defaults to the same programming no matter the situation or circumstance. He’s a character with real emotions and internal conflicts. Every single movie challenges Woody’s beliefs and world view.
Woody acts “out of character” in every movie compared to how he acted in the previous movie. Woody in TS3 is DRASTICALLY different from Woody in TS1. He is constantly growing and evolving as a character.
Toy Story is my all time favorite film franchise and TS4 only made my love and appreciation for the world and characters a lot stronger than it already was. It’s not perfect. I do think it is overall the weakest of the four, but it’s still a great movie.
I completely agree, great explanation!
Same here. Finally, somebody who understands what the movies are trying to say instead of taking things at face value and reacting like an entitled man baby who thinks they know how to write characters better than actual screenwriters. Then again, that's most of the animation community in a nutshell, isn't it?
In 30 years my kids will be watching “Chloe Chandler talks about” and how Pixar is in a new golden age
I find it interesting that a lot of criticisms call certain movies bad because the main character is unlikable, but that brings me to a counterpoint with a little film called "The Emperor's New Groove"
A movie where you could argue the lead is the MOST unlikable lead in ANY Disney/Pixar film, yet its deemed a huge classic because its humor makes you skim over that with how fast paced and clever it is.
I would argue that having unlikeable leads gives you that room to see the growth and development of the people you're going to be around with for the longest. If theyre already inherently good or perfect, its creatively more challenging to work in a storyline that could be as compelling as, say, Inside Out or Toy Story.
By showing them at their imperfect stages first, it makes the journey all that more fulfilling when Joy embraces Sadness and Woody befriends Buzz.
I'm actually surprised at all the hate Turning Red has been getting. I thought it was generally well received. Never knew so many people think it's the worst of Pixar. For me, The Good Dinosaur is Pixar's worst.
It’s one of my favorite Pixar movies but I think Lightyear was better
It was, but the way they handled puberty and highlighted menstruation and sexual awakening in the movie was pretty controversial with conservative audiences
It was not well received and I think it’s the opposite that people are coming around to it, I still believe it’s a mediocre film with a bad message it’s on the same tier as raya and the last dragon
@@GopackgoinfinityWhy was the message bad?
@@GopackgoinfinityI have to disagree. I like the message in the film. I think a lot of people think it’s promoting children disobeying their parents, but it’s more so promoting parents and children accepting their differences and having a healthy relationship that isn’t too restrictive.
Chloe is such a great addition to the Hot Takes 😂
HI Sean, thank you so much for including my comment 6:42. It made me so happy cos its the first time I've been featured in a video. Loved this video!
The Zurg twist is the biggest mistake Pixar has made since Cars 2. Anyone who wanted to see Lightyear wanted a film like the early 2000s Buzz Lightyear Star command Series,and instead the choice to deconstruct him and focus on his flaws shows that they'd rather focus on his mistakes rather than the good things he accomplished.
What is it about Woody that's unlikeable? I mean, yeah, he was a jerk, but one of the things that complement that is he gets consequences.
Your daughter is so interesting to listen to ! You should do the same format with Disney / marvel / dreamworks etc !
Talking about broken characters and crying because of the hot sauce, that’s hilarious 😂
Oh hey thanks for putting me in the video ^^
Thanks for putting me in the video man I think turning red is way worse than cars 2
Cars 2 is solid by me. Turning Red I think is fine, but I just can’t connect with it as an 18 year old dude. I get that it means a lot to other people tho, and that’s cool, but the film just means nothing to me personally. I find spy cars and Mater’s Tall Tales more entertaining than gyrating to make a point 🤷♂️
Same
I hate the message of it.
I need to watch Cars 2 again, but honestly, it was a painful experience lol. It was difficult to get through
I don't like both.
For me turning red is cringe
And cars 2 is just rubbish
That fireplace looks comforting

@@SeanChandlerTalksAboutare you just watching the comments?
@@christypettit7001 I normally try to respond to some comments during the first hour…and just in general
@@SeanChandlerTalksAbout
As a fan of your channel, we’re way more on the same boat with the last three (I guess 4 as I think Toy Story has overstated its welcome starting with the fourth movie… and then came Lightyear and Pixar really killed it with that one for more reasons than it’s money losses, making us wonder how they could possibly be worse at this rate… and then they announced the potential of turning into a reboot and sequel factory, which you did a great video about) hot takes not being too spicy than the first thirds of them.
P. S. If you Chandlers saw ElectricDragon505’s videos (which you probably might), you’d really find out that he’s another one of those “Disney shills” (or for lack of a better term, a UA-camr that while ambitious as he does Animation Lookback and did The Epic Mickey Files and The Art of AniMat, can also be defensive of the current state of Disney even if they were better before the 2010s-2020s before they became more frequently safe and lazy to the point where my appreciation for the otherwise imperfect Universal only got bigger and bigger even if he may be more critical towards what they make, and this is coming from someone who used to watch a lot of his content as a teenager. Then again, he is the same guy who defended Lightyear over Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, take for instance.)
Not trying to make this sound like a hot take (because it's not the hottest of the takes today) but I really dislike Incredibles 2.
It looks decent on the outside, but when you compare it to the first Movie (I consider the first to be Pixar's Masterpiece) you really start to realize how much of a downgrade is. The story is not really compelling or interesting, a lot of the arcs are half-cooked, and the worst aspect of it is that all of the parr family characters are insanely downgraded.
It's also a movie that is way too safe and just wants to pander to audiences, it never takes risks. The first movie has amazing twists like the superhero genocide reveal scene or high tension moments like the plane chase sequence or the suicide attemp scene. In the second movie the higlight was a bunch of funny jack jack moments that didn't even contribute to the main story.
It's not the worst one, but I would agree that it is the most dissapointing Pixar film. I believe that they should have made a time jump to see grown up characters to see the story actually go somewhere, not just another superhero movie.
Alright here are the Hot Takes:
Soul is extremely overrated. I find it long, boring, and very scatterbrained. It could’ve had a slam dunk of an ending but it didn’t take it.
Elemental is the worst Pixar film and Incredibles 2 is right behind it.
Cars 2 is in the upper half of Pixar movies. It’s extremely fun and over the top. It’s a Pixar movie that isn’t trying to force you to get emotional at the end, it just wants to be cool and fun and I like it for that. It’s a very unique film in the Pixar catalogue.
After Toy Story 3, the only Pixar movies that felt like home runs to me were Inside Out and Coco. Nothing else has hit that top tier since.
Here are my hot takes:
- Cars 1 is a 9.5/10 for me and placed at number 5 for me among my Pixar ranking. It’s also one of my favorite movies ever.
- Cars 2 is a 7/10 for me. Huge guilty pleasure. Cars 3 is great too, 8/10 for me
- Toy Story 2 is my favorite of the trilogy
- A Bug’s Life and Monsters University are underrated. Incredibles 2 is not very good imo, but it is still serviceable.
- I don’t connect with Soul much, so it’s lower on my Pixar ranking. Like number 20 something. Same with Turning Red.
- I like Luca. I’ve actually come to like it more than before. I still don’t get the overwhelming praise it gets tho, that it’s one of Pixar’s best, it’s one of the best animated movies ever or in recent years, etc.
Most underrated Pixar movie is ratatouille REMY now is my Avatar on Disney plus
@@dannytooley7530 mad respect. Ratatouille is my favorite Pixar movie. It’s one of the few movies out there I’d give a 10/10, and it’s really high up among my favorite movies of all time, like my number 12 I think
@@NinthShinigami mad respect never heard of mad respect before
@@dannytooley7530 just means I really really agree with you 😂
@@NinthShinigami ok think you mate
As soon as I saw you cry with the hot sauce I knew you deserved the like 😭
Onward is Pixar’s most underrated movie. I think it’s great and should be talked about it. It’s unfortunate it came out a week before the pandemic started. I think it’s one of the most emotional movies that Pixar has done.
disagree.... it could've been made better. Like if the dad wasn't just a pair of legs throughout the film and the brothers got to spend more than 5 minutes with him. Also Ian reminded me a lot like Arlo being scared, but then lashing out at his brother wasn't fun to watch
I agree. My dad wasn’t around much growing up, so I essentially grew up with my brother. This is the only movie in my entire life that has made me cry. Top 5 for me personally
Hot take: a bugs a life is my favorite Pixar movie, because while not the best Pixar film it’s the most comforting one and that has more power than being extremely deep or complex
Hopper is an especially underrated antagonist I think
Great movie, it's nice that it was one and done. Not everything needs to become a franchise.
@@MasonGrant0704yeah and fun fact it has never gotten new animations not shorts, no commercials, no nothing since 1999 which is 25 years
Comforting like it has no upsetting themes?
A Bug’s Life is great.
“New-born parent” 😂
Hot Takes:
The recent Pixar movies are mostly fine, but the animation is very stale and just makes watching them worse
Soul is just so boring, and I feel that the message could've been much more potent if the ending didn't have Joe switching bodies with the cat, and if the afterlife just looked more appealing.
Really? I think the animation is the best part of them! I don’t like Turning Red very much, but it was very unique and fun to look at. Luca barely even looks like a Pixar movie, and I say that in a good way.
Huh, I disagree completely!
I think the highlight of recent Pixar movies is their excellent animation. But otherwise, they have not been interesting at all in the last few years. The one exception to this for me, funnily enough, IS Soul, which is one of my top 5 Pixar movies of all time.
My hot take is that a lot of the beloved Pixar movies from the late 2000s- early 2010s (Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Inside Out) feel like bloated shorts. Ratatouille in particular feels likes a tech demo, while Up gets pretty bad after the first few minutes. All the best parts of WALL-E could be condensed into a short without all the fatphobia and repeated Hello Dolly songs. And I still maintain that "Riley's First Date" is better than most of Inside Out (although I do love me some Bing Bong).
Also, I guess liking A Bug's Life is a hot take now? Seems like this one has not aged well for most people. I like how it has a legit, non-twist villain.
About your point on Turning Red, I absolutely agree! Why would parents be okay with wanting their kids getting all of their needs met from their friends. It sounds more like a 'choose your family' theme that strongly exists in the non hetero community.
Also, from my point of view, Turning Red was a non hetero focused film. Think about it this way. One of her friends, the tall one who looked kind of like a boy. Did she really have a big crush on the boys in the bands? Or was she putting on a front in order to stay close with her female friends that she's in love with? This is a common theme with non hetero girls who are only into girls, or barely into boys. All of the Turning Red girls were coded this way.
Even the mother was coded like a woman who married this strange frumpy man because of social conditions, but nothing about the couple showed any sign of romantic attraction. Nothing wrong about the film, the problem is the dishonesty of how these kinds of films are marketed to make people think it's designed for them.
And yes, what's with all of these deconstruction of male characters and turning them into broken old men? It's all for a different demographic.
4:16 If at any point something contains twerking it is immediately the worst thing ever.
It's so wholesome to see you and your daughter having fun sharing a hobby together. That's special! Way to go Sean!
17:05 "As a fan of the CW Flash show" don't say that out loud I hear Madvocate coming down to get you and make sure you regret ever saying that or anything like that.
With you mentioning Disney's history, one of my biggest hot takes with the Animated Canon is that I find the package film era to be extremely underrated, as I really appreciate the large variety we get from it. Also, Melody Time is actually in my top 5 favorite films from the Disney Animated Canon. I'm that big of a fan of it.
About the inside out comment, I think that Joy is supposed to be the villain of the movie, to make us understand that we also need the sadness as well. Also, I think she is more of an antagonist rather than a villain
She's like both the protagonist and the antagonist at the same time. It's one of the many brilliant things about the movie
I think she was really passive aggressive at the very least. She was stubborn, controlling and was apprehensive towards Sadness yes, but that wasn't her entire character. She's still the living embodiment of happiness after all so she's mostly a friendly person at the end of the day. It's just those negative traits of her personality were just obstacles she needed to overcome within herself. Now imagine if she truly was the villain of the movie. So fixated on trying to make herself Riley's default emotion that she would callously push away the other emotions just to make herself feel superior and would especially treat Sadness like a punching bag moreso than an important asset to Riley's mind. Then she would have been truly an unlikable protagonist. The same thing can be said about Woody. Need I remind everyone of the infamous Black Friday Reel?
Its like that same misconception that Woody is the villain of Toy story 1 not getting the point that Woody is supposed to be unlikeable
@@noobmasterruben5167 Unlikable but eventually grows out of that stage once he accepts Buzz. And besides, learning the history of Toy Story's production, Woody almost became the villain in similar fashion to Lotso from the third movie.
This is off topic from this video but I just wanted to mention an Easter Egg in Inside Out 2.
Spoiler Warning if you haven’t seen Inside Out 2!!!!!!!!!
Here is a really nice Easter Egg. When they showed all the emotions in their bedroom sleeping, when they zoom over to Joy, sitting next to her bed on a shelf is an origami figurine of Bing Bong and his rocket. Such a nice touch that even if Riley will never remember Bing Bong, Joy will always remember him and his sacrifice. 💔🥺😭
I caught that too! 😂 Bing Bong will forever be in our hearts
@@NinthShinigami
It was such a nice and beautiful touch.
I started to cry a little 😭🥺 Joy will always remember him and his sacrifice. We all will remember him. You will forever be remembered Bing Bong ❤️
Here’s a Hot Take from me Toy Story 1 is the weakest of the four movies.
I actually agree heavily with this. Woody is so damn unlikable as a protagonist in a way that really makes me not wanna see him succeed at all. People always seem to bring up Joy in that she's an unlikable protagonist, but Woody is so much worse in TS1. Joy is doing what she does to make Rileys life better, whereas Woody is completely selfish. I understand it's the single most important animated movie like ever, but from a purely critical pov, it's the weakest in the franchise for me.
like many the first film wasn’t meant to be a franchise, each film they come up with new ways to mold these characters. i definitely agree with this, yet it’s still very enjoyable
@@benh4579 It’s a great movie and it sets up woody and Buzz but I feel like it’s three sequels tell more compelling stories.
But Tbf for me that as good thing because sequels are suppose to try to be better then the original.
I would say that Toy Story 4 is more necessary to the story than 1. 4 is worse but only because of the old characters. Andy has left Woody, now he isn't the favorite toy, so he can do what he was tempted to do. People hate on TS4 because TS3 was the perfect ending. I would argue it works better as the second last. TS4 just screwed up with all the previous characters. 2, 3, and 4 all tackle similar themes, none of which are in the original.
How to make Cars 2 a good movie: Just remove the racing part(including and especially MATER) and make it a spin off within the car universe, BOOM!
Toy Story 1 is not overrated. It may look pedestrian now but it was very innovative at the time. It was the first fully CGI movie and made great innovations in CGI technology. After Toy Story 99% of theatrical animation became 3D. Its good to respect your elders.
I agree with your statement. But for me I miss hand drawn animation films, I wish we live in a world where hand drawn and CGI can coexist but we don’t live in that reality, or I’m just an old timer who stays in the past.
@@JonathanGaeta I agree I love both. We do still get 2d hand drawn stuff. Its all over tv and we get a ton of anime. I watched Spy x Family: Code White in the movie theater earlier this year.
i saw it again a year ago and it’s a fun film. there’s a lot of charm to it but it’s very plain for pixar now
@@benh4579 Its still one of my favs.Calling it overrated is like calling Star Wars overrated. If you look at it now it looks like any other movie but back in the day it was innovative for its advances in technology. It was one of the first blockbuster movies to have a toy line. I saw it for the first time months ago and said "This movie is ok. I acknowledge that it made an enormous impact in film history. I might have appreciated it more if I was younger. It's a solid average movie."
I also wouldnt call Toy story 1 overrated, too. That said as more time goes on. I favour Ratatouille, Coco and Wall E more. Probably because I resonate with those films more
I posted my hot take on the Toy Story discourse on the poll, but I'm on the side of it was damn good.
There's no villian in inside out. The point of inside out both movies is that our emotions are there to be felt
Hot take: Toy Story 4 is as good/better than Toy Story 1. Not hot takes but I think Toy Story 3 and 2 are the best Pixar sequels/best film in the sequel.
Love the Mononoke pfp 🔥
@@NinthShinigami thank you
Agreed with everything you said except for toy story 4 being better then the first
Keep up the good work Sean. You have been inspired me for years.
How much Pepto-Bismol do you buy? I would be s@itting flames for the next 38 hours if I was messing with those hot sauces. I wouldn't say Pixar is dead but I think it's past its prime and I also hate Inside Out with a passion. I find 90s-2000s Pixar to be the best years overall.
7:30 thats an insane take syndrome is the most popular pixar villain lol
Thanks for adding me, and as the first person no less!
Chloe is awesome! Happy Father’s Day, Sean!
When I heard the positive and negative takes on Turning Red, the negative ones were asking "why???" from a number of perspectives and the positive ones were full of far less praise for the film itself than for the fact that it pissed people off. Which, along with the film itself, just made the whole experience around its release a toxic beehive.
I really enjoy Incredibles 2, my only issue is the third act since I don't think it does anything good with its villain and it is until the third act the villain is revealed, so I think the third act is wasted potential, other than that, I really like it.
Oh hey it’s me in the beginning, I love Toy Story 4 and appreciate you putting me in the video
You should do one for Star Wars Hot Takes cuz i have a few that'll have me burnt on the stake. Lol
The first half of the Hot Ones packs are always a breeze, but once you hit the back half it ramps up fast!
I’m currently eating hot Doritos watching this video about hot takes
Totally agree with you about the Zurg twist. I was still on board for the whole movie until the twist happened. The movie immediately drops two stars from me.
I can still forgive that if the alternate Buzz is not Zurg but just a new villain
If cars 2 wasn’t a “cars movie” it would be great but since you connect it to a great original movie it feels a little cheap because we know the IP
Love these videos
Hey I wrote the comment for inside out, but i meant that not only Joy was unlikable but also Rhiley. I did not like how she just went agaisnt her mother and ran away from home
Because she was simply misled. Joy's false worldview accidentally tricked the other emotions into thinking that going to where she had been happy. All the emotions she could feel were telling her to run away. Anger would of reminded her how angry she was that she moved. Disgust would remind her of how much she doesn't like San Francisco. Fear would remind her of how scared she was of school in San Francisco. Joy would remind her how happy she was in Minnesota. But sadness would make her realize how much she would miss her parents if she left. Also, what do you mean it is boring? IMO it is the funniest pixar film.
Sean getting his daughter to do a level for him was hilarious he really needed it to be fair 😂
It was cool of you to include Chloe. I was actually very interested in her takes, particularly on Inside Out. Seems like a future reviewer in the making.
Oh my gosh!! Chloe is a mini Jennifer!! Love seeing her get involved!! Love the video!!
Great video as always! Love the inclusion of the hot wings and getting to see your kids grow up on screen is adorable!
I think Incredibles 2 is just okay. There are things I like about it, but 2 things hold it back for me. The baby being OP with every superpower and a villain twist when they didn't really need it
If there's another movie in that world, I would like it to be focused either on Frozone (as a spin-off) or Violet (as a 3rd and final chapter)
It was a shockingly not offensive late sequel
I’ve always thought Toy Story was overrated, granted my favorite Pixar film is Cars.
9:16 As a newborn parent...
Toy Story 3 was a conclusion to Andy’s storyline. Toy Story 4 is a conclusion to woody’s storyline. Toy Story 4’s message is that toys being brought to life is not just about them getting to walk and talk, woody has a life of his own and he wants to achieve some purpose in his life, instead of being what he was supposed to be
Joy being unlikeable is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Her being unlikeable for supressing the other emotions is not a valid critique. The movie calls it out as a character flaw and she realized what whe was doing was wrong, so then she lets the other emotions also control Riley because she realized there importance. It's like saying Mr. Incredible is a terrible character because he ignored his family. Sully is a terrible character because he focused on boo and ignored Mike. Simba is a terrible character because he didn't want to save the pride lands. Emperor Kuzko is a terrible character because he was a tyrant. Its called a character arc.
My thoughts on these hot takes:
1. Toy Story 4 is not an abomination but it is not good and bottom tier Pixar. The only Pixar film I found to be an "abomination" is The Good Dinosaur.
2. I understand the divisiveness of Turning Red but I'm personally on the positive side as I really like it. The message of the movie wasn't to put your friends over your mom to seek help but rather to accept your family instead of turning your back on them for your friends.
3. This was me back in 2013 when I was 9-years-old and even had an MU party for my 10th birthday in 2014. I still love the movie as of now and as a college freshman (incoming sophomore) myself, it hits harder to watch a movie about a college freshman. My only flaw with the movie was how they did Randall dirty.
4. I go back and forth between that but I think Incredibles 2 is Pixar's most overhated movie. It's way better than what people make it out to be for.
5. To quote Winston Deavor: "I disagree strongly" nothing else to say.
6. Ok this is too much for me. Sure, Pixar started releasing misses after Toy Story 3 but saying they should have stopped after that is too far. There are modern Pixar films that feel like classics such as Inside Out, Coco, Soul, etc. (why does no one talk about the latter two?)
7. Cars is my favorite in the trilogy and I view it as a guilty pleasure but that's only because I'm not a Cars fan at all. This franchise is not for me.
8. Lightyear is a good movie and gets way too much hate, but the Zurg twist wasn't good. It made no sense. But I will say that wasn't my biggest problem with the movie. My main problem with Lightyear was how the tone felt inconsistent. In the first 30 minutes, you could tell the film wanted to be a grounded and serious movie but then we get introduced to characters who turn out to be comic reliefs making goofy ahh jokes and dumb decisions. The 2nd half of the movie didn't feel in line with what the movie was striving for.
9. I'm not mad that someone called Inside Out the worst but I hate the reasons for it. Riley being mean spirited in the movie is just Riley being human as human beings can be assholes. And the fact that your brain can be a mess is just a part of life. I do think Inside Out is amazing but I prefer the 2nd one.
10. I do think the Toy Story franchise is a tad bit overrated in a sense that there are better Pixar films out there than the Toy Story movies like The Incredibles, Wall-E, Ratatouille, etc. I even prefer Soul and Coco over the first 2 Toy Story films. Toy Story 3 is easily my favorite one.
I’m surprised by all the hate I see Up getting. It’s my comfort pick along with Cars for my 2 favorite films from the studio. Russel, Doug, Carl, and Kevin are just fun to see go on an adventure with. I also love the arc that Carl goes on with Ellie and it leads to a emotional and satisfying end to his character when he finally lets her go and decides to live, the metaphor of him throwing away his stuff to get the house to float is perfect, he’s finally getting rid of the baggage that’s been holding him down his whole life. Doug, Russel, and Kevin are all very lovable side characters too, especially Doug.
Is there going to be a sequel to this video?
1. Inside Out is an amazing and thematically emotional film, but I couldn’t get into its speculative elements.
2. Coco is Pixar’s worst film, but in terms of general movie going experience (no Pixar bias), it’s just an okay film. You can still like Coco. But if anyone says Elena Rivera, Miguel’s grandmother, you are a monster!
My hottest take is that Nemo is the worst Pixar film
Massive Problem #1: Only three scenes are crucial to the plot. The scenes where Nemo gets taken away and when he reunites with Marlin, along with the turtles scene that transport them across the ocean, are the only scenes in the movie that couldn't be easily written out of the script. The shark scene, the seagulls, the jellyfish, even the fish tank scenes don't affect the plot. Marlin does find the mask during the shark scene, but that could happen in any other scene. Also, neither of the 2 climaxes affect the plot. The net scene and the chaos docter scene are both unnecessary if the fish had escaped.
Massive Problem #2: The adventure across the ocean is run entirely on luck. They accidentally run into the sharks where there just so happens to be a mask that tells him the location of his son. Marlin just so happens to run into a fish that inexplicably can speak whale and can read. (It isn't explained how she can do either of these things until the sequel.) The Angler fish that almost kills them gets trapped by the mask completely by accident. They run into a group of fish that can tell them where they need to go to get to the current that brings them to Marlin's son. The Jellyfish form a convenient opening for Marlin and Dory to escape. Once they get out, they faint and wake up in the current they were trying to get to. Eventually they end up on a dock next to a pelican that can take Marlin to his son. Marlin's journey to find his son was run by luck, not by him making decisions, like it should be.
Massive Problem #3. All the characters are horribly written and 1 dimensional. Marlin is both extremely annoying because of his lack of redeeming traits. He is overprotective and has a cliche backstory. He isn't funny. Dory has short term memory loss. She can inexplicably read and speak whale even though all marine life appear to speak English in this film. Crush is shown to be "so cool" Bruce, well, Bruce gets his own section. The fish that inexplicably have perfect coordination to make shapes mock Marlin for asking them to stop quizzing Dory on ocean animals so they can help him find his son. The worst offenders are the tank gang and Nemo. The tank gang includes worse Doc Hudson, germaphobic fish, germaphobic crab #2, fish obsessed with bubbles, starfish with no traits, a puffer fish, and a fish that thinks her reflection is her sister. They send Nemo into the cleaner because of a obviously bad plan made by someone who notoriously makes bad plans. What could go wrong? Nemo, scared of a girl he heard a legend about from fish he just met, attempts to execute the plan he had nearly died the last time he tried. Also, why did the fish call the bubbles the "Ring Of Fire?" Those are bubbles. You have a fish that is inexplicably addicted to bubbles that would tell you.
Massive Problem #4. The shark scene makes no sense. An over intimidating shark subverts our expectations and makes us think that he is going to eat them. No, he runs a group of sharks that want to quit eating fish. But then why was he so overly intimidating to the fish. And why did he make Marlin and Dory confess to eating fish? Based on the way he saw them first, he clearly didn't mistake them for sharks. Scenario 1: Bruce originally thought they were fish, but then changed his mind and thought they were fish. Scenario 2: Bruce assumed that Marlin and Dory are cannibals. Scenario 3: He thought they were some other predator of fish which would explain both scenarios. Also, why did he assume Marlin was lying, but believed Dory. He didn't know about her short term memory loss, which would only make him less convinced if he knew.
Losing John Lasseter was the worst thing to happen to Pixar
You speak the truth
I agree . I said the same thing about a week ago . Huge loss .
Yall forget that he enjoys touching women a little too much
+Bmoney1337
So, keeping him around is better even though he's admitted to inappropriate behavior?
Cool.

No
I finally make it into a Sean hot take video! Thanks for including mine.
Hot take : Inside out is Top 5 Pixar films
Top 3
I agree
Top 1 for me.
While I agree about the twerking aspects, was definitely an odd choice
I disagree about the overbearing aspect of parents. The over bearing, over protective parents who have expectations that is very hard to reach is something I do think a lot of people can relate with.
Glad I made it in the video. Naturally both you and your daughter dunked on my opinion but it wouldn't be a good hot take if it didn't get that reaction lol. I still stand by my thoughts of course
I think inside out is one of the best Pixar movies ever, just behind the Toy Story movies, can’t see inside out 2 until next month but I can’t wait to see it.
17:05 I really enjoyed LIGHTYEAR, I think it's one of Pixars best films, but the Zurg twist was the thing that I hated about the film.
literally loggin in just to comment : I get the most all these but Inside Out is where I draw the line. calling it the worst and the character unlikable shows a lack of understanding in children. She got uprooted from everything she knew and tried to adjust. The ONLY way for it to be 'overall boring' or to see Joy as the villain is to miss the point of the movie entirely! everything doesnt have to be action pack all the time, sometimes the movie is in the dialogue and character development. FOR REAL! like just bc you have to have your brain over stimulated and entertained all the time, does not mean every movie is boring if it doesnt match your dopamine addiction. Joy is JOY for a reason, its going to conflict with sadness, the the POINT OF THE MOVIE!!! she learned at the end why sadness is important. This movie depicts and shows emotional development in the best way! Rant over
I remeber 'Lightyear' being one of my top 2 most anticipated movies of 2022, and aside from Sox who is the G.O.A.T., a great first 35 minutes and the breathtaking animation, It was a major disappointment. The three screw ups got on my nerves, the Zurg twist was awful, and it kind of ruined itself in the first minute by telling you to watch this movie from Andy's point of view.
But the best thing to come out of the movie for me was the experience watching it with friends who were high off their asses.
The guy who said he got bored at Finding Nemo should be jailed at Arkham Asylum
Happy Father's day sean
I love the Toy Story movies but one hot take nobody agrees w/ is that the 2nd one sucks. I despise it bc it feels like nothing happens for most of the runtime and the prospector is insufferable to me.
Of the hot takes I get many of them, the Toy Story 4 and turning red. Though I enjoyed Toy Story 4 and turning red I get where people like Sean are coming from but I know people who did have over bearing and toxic parents growing up and I think we all know there’s people out there who should never have become parents who are.
My opinion on each take:
#1: Mixed Feelings; I wouldn’t call Toy Story 4 an abomination, but it does have some flaws in my mind that hold it back from being a great Toy Story film. I think it’s good, but very flawed.
#2: Agree; Turning Red is a movie that I just didn’t connect with at all. I thought the message was terrible, I didn’t care for any of the characters, and it was targeted too heavily to an audience where it wasn’t relatable for me.
#3: Mixed Feelings; I think MU is good enough. I think the message is good, and the building friendship between Mike and Sully is a lot of fun, but the story feels much less imaginative because it feels like a generic high school sports movie.
#4: Disagree; I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I think Incredibles 2 is kind of sloppy. The storytelling is pretty messy, the villain is totally nonsensical, and the plot is just a rehash of the original.
#5: Disagree; I think Finding Dory is fine, I don’t have any gigantic issues with it, but again, it feels derivative of the original film, so I’m more likely to rewatch Finding Nemo.
#6: Heavily Disagree!!! I still think Pixar has a good track record after Toy Story 3. Sure they’ve had their misses, but their films just went from special to good in my eyes.
#7: Disagree; Cars 2 is a film I grew up with, but it’s probably the dumbest Pixar movie. If they had made this a spin-off direct to video movie which had Mater in the lead, that would be fine with me, but as an official movie, I don’t think it works.
#8: Mixed Feelings; The twist does feel like a big retcon of what was established in Toy Story 2, but I think the twist serves for Buzz’s character development. I don’t love the twist, or the movie all that much, but I don’t think it’s horrible.
#9: Couldn’t Disagree More; Joy is meant to be somewhat antagonistic but gets to grow, it’s a beautiful and creative story that’s relatable.
#10: Disagree; While I think the film itself is quaint compared to animated films nowadays, it’s historically important and that cannot change. It’s still a lot of fun, I understand the concept of Woody being unlikable, but I think his arc works.
This took a while, I hope you enjoyed my voice in the conversation. 😮💨
Nah man. The twist in Lightyear is the worst thought of twist in the history of ever. Even the ending of Lost wasn't this stupid
18:21-18:54
I respectfully disagree there. Sounds to me like this is coming from an obliviously angry point of view.
Yes, we all can/should love our heroes. But, realistically, they shouldn't be placed on a pedestal that is unattainable.
Wolverine will forever be my favorite superhero, but I don't think he should be treated as such.
But, hey, that's just my opinion.
not directed at Pixar themselves but at their fan base especially the ones who think every Pixar movie after the 2000s are all bad which is just not true, Pixar have made so many great movies post Toy Story 3 but are unfairly judged
My thoughts on each of these
1. I agree with the haters. I think Toy Story 4 is one of the worst Pixar movies.
2. I don't agree. I think Turning Red is a fun movie. I don't think it's the best one, nor the worst one, I consider Turning Red to be a middle tier Pixar movie.
3. I agree! MU had a great message. The haters are just middle aged men who are way past their college movie phase. But to many of us, MU is probably the first college movie that we'll ever watch. And it is great!
4. I don't agree at all. Incredibles 2 feels like a direct-to-video sequel that just got a big budget and a theatrical release. It's not as big, epic, and grandiose as the first Incredibles movie.
5. I don't agree, but I kinda get where people are coming from. When I watched Finding Nemo and Dory back to back, and not gonna lie, both felt pretty equal. I just like Nemo a little more than Dory. Probably due to nostalgia.
6. I don't agree at all. While I do understand the saying "you either die as a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain", Pixar is still a business. And if they just decide to call it quits after Toy Story 3, that's honestly a pretty stupid move to make as a movie studio, or business in general.
7. I don't agree. However, I also don't agree that Cars 2 is the worst Pixar movie of the bunch. Because it's far too enjoyable compared to something boring like The Good Dinosaur, Toy Story 4 or Lightyear. Cars 2 has a lot of action going on.
8. I'm split. I still think the Lightyear Zurg twist is really really stupid. But I do agree that it does create the conflict of the movie. The idea that Buzz learns from his mistakes was sorta neat, but it was executed horribly. And I agree with you that Disney's old man deconstruct cliché is getting old, and they should stop ruining our childhood characters this way. Lightyear is my least favorite Pixar movie of all time.
9. I don't know what to say. I don't think Inside Out is Pixar's worst movie, but I kinda agree with the problems these people brought up. Inside Out 2 hasn't released in my country yet, so I can't tell if it's better or worse than the first one yet.
10. Yeah no. Toy Story is film history. These people need to understand how important Toy Story is to the movie industry. While I do agree that the characters are flawed, people need to remember that pretty much every character in this movie goes through an arc. Woody learns not to be jealous. Buzz learns he isn't a real space ranger, and that's okay. Andy's toys learn that everything was a big misunderstanding. Sid's toys learn to stand up to their oppressor. And Sid learns that toy lives matter. So yeah, everyone starts off as a flawed character, but they do go through an arc. So I kinda agree about the unlikeability part in the beginning of the movie, but they improve by the end of the movie, and the characters become far more likeable in Toy Story 2 and 3, which is definitely one big reason why I prefer Toy Story 2 and 3 over Toy Story 1. But I don't think it's overrated.
I liked Toy Story 4, its not the BEST one but its still good, and plus the animation is just amazing
I agree. I do think that it is the weakest film in the main Toy Story franchise
Cars 1 is my childhood, and Toy Story 4 is awful are my hot takes for Pixar.
Cars 1 is S tier Pixar far as I’m concerned 💪🤝
I haven't seen one person disagree with your Cars 1 take
I understand you not liking Toy Story 4, but saying that is awful is just stupidity, it is a good movie and your opinion won't change that fact.
Can’t believe you blindsided us with a huge Syndrome is uninteresting hot take! Actually might be one of the biggest hot takes in the entire video despite not being mentioned as such!
I swear bro is gonna destroy his digestive track doing these 🤣
While I enjoy some Pixar movies, I will always kind of have a personal bias against them, just because of the fact that they basically killed 2D animated movies from Disney and made them just go fully with the CG animation. And I just don’t really like the way CG animated movies look. I think 2D is so much better and I kind of wish that Disney stuck with that style for their movies and just let Pixar do the 3D style.
Do not like Incredibles 2. All the lessons Bob learned about family and letting go of his past as THE superhero to be part of a team and family just disappear overnight. But the second film starts the next day. It has almost no real character development or meaningful plot elements. It is just an empty popcorn flick. With a truly awful villain motivation. Why wouldn’t she be most mad that her dad was too stupid to have his super hero phones in the safe room? And supers were already illegal. Why would she try to make them legal just to make them extra super duper illegal? It is just a bad movie. Not just a bad Pixar movie but a bad movie. Like most of the post Endgame MCU - empty super hero flavored junk. Bird is one of the best directors and I cannot believe he came back for that. He has my two favorite Pixar films, probably the best MI movie and the Iron Giant. Just baffling.
I did not realize that thinking Incredibles 2 is better than the first is a hot take. I will have to rewatch them both, but I just loved Jack Jack's character.
I thought it was better then the first film too, it took all the best bits about the first film and improved on it
Also, I think "Incredibles 2" has more action in it when compared to the original. I think they definitely stepped it up a bit with more action sequences that are in the sequel. And there are definitely a lot more superheroes in it when compared to the original, as well. I mean, you've got all of those different superheroes with so many different super powers in the movie. And they're utilized quite well when the Parr family is on that big boat near the end of the film. The Parr family is the Fantastic 5 taking on a bunch of different superheroes on a big boat in the finale! And it's just totally freaking awesome! I do love the original "The Incredibles," but "Incredibles 2" is my favorite of the two. Both movies though are some of my favorite Disney films & Pixar films ever. 🦸♂
I haven't even seen Inside out, but even I can see the charm of it. I've watched, maybe, the last like 20 minutes or so and I think it's a genuine heartfelt movie.
Cars 2 and incredibles 2 are both some of my favorite pixar movies. Cars 2 I get the hate, because it's pretty inconsistent in its tone and it's kinda cringe, but i really like Lightning's character arc and the message about corruption and fossil fuels. Now incredibles 2 was a movie where I never understood why it got so much hate.
Lastly, I think toy story 4 is a pretty good movie. Nothing great like the og 3 but not the monstrosity everyone makes it out to be.
Here are my reactions to these flaming hot takes:
1: Toy Story 4.
While I don’t think it’s an abomination, I do agree that it cheapens the perfect ending of Toy Story 3. It ultimately just feels so unnecessary!
2: Turning Red.
I am yet to see this film so I can’t comment but from I have heard, I don’t think I will like it anyway and I have no real interest in watching it anytime soon!
3: Monster’s University.
While I don’t think it’s a bad film, I do think it fails to capture the magic of what Pixar is known for.
It’s just a rather forgettable film that never really leaves much of an impression on me.
4: The Incredibles 2.
I definitely disagree with this one!
The first Incredibles is one of my favourite films period.
I was so excited for a sequel and while I didn’t exactly hate it, I did feel both disappointed and underwhelmed by it.
5: Finding Dory.
Another one that I wholeheartedly disagree with!
Finding Nemo is an absolute classic and I have always loved the themes it explores.
I think Finding Dory is a fun but forgettable film that doesn’t hold a candle to the original!
6: “Pixar is dead”
I think Pixar has struggled a lot recently with failing to capture the magic of their past films but in no way do I think they are finished as a studio!
Pixar is an incredibly successful studio despite some recent misses and disappointments.
They just need to get back on track with what they used to be good at!
7: Cars 2.
While I don’t think it’s as good as the first film, I do think it is a little over hated in my opinion.
In all honesty, I would say that I prefer Cars 2 to Cars 3!
8: Lightyear Zurg Twist.
I think the film had potential but it ultimately squanders this and not only is it a disappointing prequel to the far superior Toy Story films, it’s also a rather frustrating watch!
9: Inside Out.
Unpopular opinion here but I think Inside Out is a tad overrated!
I think it’s a good film but not a great film.
It’s just never really been a film I hold in high regard.
10: “Toy Story is overrated”
The first 3 Toy Story films are some of my favourite animated films as well some of my favourite films of all time!
They are light years (pun intended!) ahead of any animated film that comes out these days.
Joy being the villain of Inside Out… was the point lol.
Also just in case anyone hasn’t pointed it out yet the comment was saying _Riley_ is unlikable, that’s what they meant by “main character girl”
Great video though! Just realized my comment may look a bit harsher than I intended😅
The only good Pixar sequels:
Toy Story 2 and 3
Inside Out 2
Everything else was cash-grabbing trash.
I actually agree.
Can you do the same for DreamWorks or Disney please
I for sure agree on Incredibles 2, both films are really solid but the sequel just feels so much more refined and that they took everything that made the first film so great and improved it, the animation is incredible
Do another pixar ranking please 🙏
Thanks for including my comment in the video, I love spy movies and I love it in the form of Cars.
