They should've never created Cars (and a sequel, and Planes which looks like a flop), but other than that they're fine. 78% is critical acclaim. MU was never supposed to be a sad illuminating story, just a light-hearted prequel.

It's such a great film 
And I'm really hoping The Good Dinosaur isn't going to become Pixar's Versus XIII (aka everyone proclaiming it as a second coming after the first trailer, to the point of obsession  )

No. I think they're just in a slump. Disney always had something up their sleeves.
As as many others have said, where the hell is The Incredibles 2?

Nahh. They just need to start serving more movies with emotional appeal.

Cars 2 should have never been made
MU & Brave are not excellent but both are still very good
They need to release The Incredibles 2
They have what seems to be a promising line-up
There not over and won't be for a long time.

I think they do need to sit and brainstorm more than they have been. Their ideas are kind of going downhill but I don't think they're OVER, just in a bit of slump that they'll be able to get out of with a little time.

|
3 out of 4 of their upcoming films are original films with very unique premises.

Their short films are most always critically acclaimed. They should focus back on original stories like they do with those and ditch the sequels.

Thank you for wording this so well.
And I agree with your hopes for TGD. And then I think Inside Out is going to be very, very unique.

Besides, 10 of their 14 films have a score of over 90...

And you people act like 70% is a total failure when your faves' albums can't even score that high on Metacritic. |

Sure it's not as high as before, but c'mon, trying to claim they've lost the critics is just a massive reach. |

Cars is a bad franchise. Simply put.
Brave was just short of Pixar-quality. It was missing that MMPH. It was still good though.
I haven't seen Monsters University yet, but considering the slightly dumb premise, it's faring pretty well critically, so Pixar must be doing something right.
I personally am excited for The Good Dinosaur. It sounds like classic Pixar.  |

It is good enough. I can't @ them trying to make that cars mess.

To be honest, Brave felt more like another Tangled then a Pixar movie, and the sequels are their only real mistakes. Even then, Cars is the only real failure here. A 70% isn't anything to really feel bad about, considering children based movies are hardly ever recognized. |

I CANNOT AT ALL OF THE DELUSION IN THIS THREAD.
Some of you just do NOT get it.
Pixar has a LEGACY for making FLAWLESS films.
Yes, above 70% is a critical success.
Is it a critical success for Pixar? YES and NO. Is it a critical success compared to their previous films? NO.
Cars, Brave and Monsters University would be raved upon with those reviews if it were by Dreamworks, Walt Disney or any of the other companies. But it's not being raved upon with Pixar because it lacks compared to their previous efforts. One has EXTREMELY HIGH EXPECTATIONS for Pixar because of their history. While they do not have those expectations for other companies.
For you all to say "other films wish they could get those grades". Well other films don't have the privilege of being a Pixar film.
Let's put it in words you all might understand. There have been 14 Pixar films. So let's say your fave has released 14 albums and the sales are as follows.
Album 1 - 25,000,000
Album 2 - 25,000,000
Album 3 - 25,000,000
Album 4 - 25,000,000
Album 5 - 25,000,000
Album 6 - 25,000,000
Album 7 - 10,000,000
Album 8 - 25,000,000
Album 9 - 25,000,000
Album 10 - 25,000,000
Album 11 - 25,000,000
Album 12 - 2,000,000
Album 13 - 10,000,000
Album 14 - 10,000,000
10 million is still darn amazing. But compare that to the 10 albums that did over 25 million. It's AWFUL compared to that. 10 million would be great for another artist that didn't have that kind of success. But not for the artist above.
and LMFAO at some of you comparing them to album reviews. That is absolutely stupid. They're graded completely DIFFERENT.
Do you all understand now? Or are you still all very delusional?

Well MU scored 82 million on opening weekend than World War Z so Pixar isn't over yet. Now we need to start some sort of petition to Incredibles 2 now 78 is considered average. As long as the audience like it then its fine.
