Since we're making lists -
Current - WDAS/Pixar movies I love:
Zootopia. Absolutely superb. The kind of film WDAS should make more of. Talking animals is - or WAS - Disney's specialty. It should make more films with animals as leads. Disney's animals beat the heck out of any other studio's, especially the fugly critters in Ice Age and the new "Bad Guys" flick (that looks frankly terrible).
Big Hero Six - A Marvel creation adapted by Disney in the grand old style - characters altered for the better, stronger storyline, emotional punch. I bought it and still watch it every now and then.
Wreck-It-Ralph - Lots of fun. Although Sarah Silverman's voice was annoying.
Treasure Plant - an absolutely beautiful 2D movie. I loved that Disney turned Long John Silver into a cyborg, and the relationship between him and Jim Hawkins was poignant and moving. The feline captain and Dr. Doppler had the benefit of great voice actors. Cool character designs overall. It's a shame the movie failed. I'd love to see the crew in a new adventure, but that won't happen. (Yeah, this movie is old, but I couldn't resist tossing in here).
Movies I like:
Moana. There was something missing in the storyline that kept this from being an "I love" film. Can't put my finger on it. But it's a lovely film with good songs.
Movies I dislike:
Brave - what a singularly unlikable film, with an equally unlikable heroine who looks like a Cabbage Patch Doll. Add to that a stupid bare butt shot, and a storyline ripped from Brother Bear. Feh.
And yeah, Brother Bear. Great animation, but a shaky story that didn't make a lot of sense.
Toy Story 4 - did not like the ending. At all. And I HATED Forky.
Movies I didn't bother with:
Luca, Coco, Encanto, Seeing Red. The trailers did nothing for me. The lead in Encanto also has this supposed-to-be-endearing nervous, smirky grin that gets on my nerves whenever I see it. Ugh.
EDITED TO ADD: I can't believe I left Inside Out of my Love list. What a great film! Clever, imaginative, and I cried TWICE while watching it. (You guys who have also seen it know what parts broke my heart, and yours as well, I bet...)
