We all know that Pixar is capable of putting out at least one masterpiece every couple of years such as "Toy Story" (1,2 and 3!), "Wall-E," "Up" and recently "Inside Out." When they're not being heaped with awards and acclaim they still manage to produce very strong films such as "A Bugs Life" and "Monsters Inc." As discussed in Episode 42 of the podcast, with the release of "Cars 3" this weekend, the team over here at Next Best Picture has decided to not focus on the best of what Pixar has had to offer, but the worst. Click below to see which Pixar films we consider to be our least favorite. Josh W.
3. "Finding Dory"
This unnecessary sequel does not follow a concise formal like the first film. It is not as emotional nor as story driven as the first one was either. The interactions don't feel as genuine or meaningful leading to a very disappointing film. 2. "Brave" The story has quite a few bumps despite being inspiring as far as giving Pixar its first female leading character The performances aren't as nuanced or channeled as they could be and it certainly goes on for a tad too long. 1. "Cars 2" This terrible film mistreats everything the first one set in place. The comedy is never as funny and the voice over performances don't feel as truthful. Putting the story's focus on Mater was a clear mistake and ultimately it becomes the first Pixar film to not fully deliver on its message.
