Many people did. The question I tried to raise in my post (and I probably didn't do the best job of getting my point across) was: "Why is it that Pixar films seem to be above criticism?".</p><p>I agree that they do some great work. "The Incredibles" is probably my favorite animated film. As the studio gets larger, and the financial needs to keep the beast fed increase, the films seem to be getting weaker. To me, the combination of "Finding Nemo" and "The Incredibles" was so much stronger than that of "Cars" and "Ratatouille". Maybe "WALL-E" is the first of another great pairing? I didn't think the film was as strong as "Finding Nemo" or "The Incredibles" (maybe Pixar's best two?), and I was trying to get people to think about why Pixar seems to be getting such great reviews for films that aren't as strong as their predecessors? Is it name recognition alone? Was "WALL-E" really the incredible film that so many people claim? If they stuck to full CG for the film, and had more of a logical motivation for the ship not to want to return to Earth, I think I would have enjoyed the movie much more.</p><p></p>floydbishopTue, 19 Aug 2008 01:32:26 -0000http://frederatorblogs.com/frederator_studios/2008/08/14/late-to-the-wall-e-party/#comment-1582218<p>Shhh, it'll go to their heads.</p>Fred SeibertSun, 17 Aug 2008 20:31:50 -0000http://frederatorblogs.com/frederator_studios/2008/08/14/late-to-the-wall-e-party/#comment-1554134<p>You clearly have smart kids.<br>Well done...</p>ElliotCowanSun, 17 Aug 2008 00:06:47 -0000http://frederatorblogs.com/frederator_studios/2008/08/14/late-to-the-wall-e-party/#comment-1540961<p>You know, KFP was easier, just duller. My kids are getting older and have realized that every animated movie is the same as the others. Except WALL-E of course.</p>Fred SeibertSat, 16 Aug 2008 19:34:00 -0000http://frederatorblogs.com/frederator_studios/2008/08/14/late-to-the-wall-e-party/#comment-1464426<p>It's surprising that your kids enjoyed this more than Kung Fu Panda, which I think is an easier film to enjoy.</p>ElliotCowanThu, 14 Aug 2008 23:42:20 -0000http://frederatorblogs.com/frederator_studios/2008/08/14/late-to-the-wall-e-party/#comment-1458030<p>So there you go.
