This is off-topic, but I'm interested to see that as the main theater chain in the Netherlands has been showing classic Disney films to great success over the past few weeks. What was most interesting to me was that Pathé chose Wall-E, The Jungle Book, and 101 Dalmatians to show and the film chosen by viewers was... Pocahontas. I really love Pocahontas, but I thought I was the only one!
Well, that is very disappointing. I thought the rest of the world had finally realized that they were wrong and I was right that Pocahontas was actually a great movie.
True, though the Hocus Pocus nostalgia that apparently comes from frequent rebroadcasting gives me some pause. Still, I'm happy to accept that I was right all along!
Cars 2 and The Good Dinosaur are the only Pixar films I would consider actually bad. Everything else is still above average imo.
I wouldn't say Finding Dory was a great film. I enjoyed it but it didn't stand out to me.
My point is Pixar isn't consistently great like it used to be up until 2011.
The strange thing with Pixar, though, is their dive into sequels. Inside Out proves that they can still make an incredible original animated feature, but it seems that almost all they're doing at the moment is reliving their glory days.That's to be expected.. There will always be hits and misses. Some notorious flops went on to become very successful in their revival runs. Everyone is consistent until their first failure. It's sort of like saying 'I always find something that I lost at the last place I looked' !!
There is a difference between replacing an attraction that had some educational component with frozen and adding a new attraction.
