FEWER sequels, not less.

Brave was loved by everyone in my town and people around the world.It was beautifully animated, with a great twist of being a Darker Fairy tale.I loved it. I heard news of a potential sequel to the film and think it would be a great idea, because every great movie deserves a sequel.Critics are full of hot air assholes who think their opinion only matters.Plus these critics are saying that if for example 20,000,000 people liked Brave but 20 critics didnt, that they are right and the other 20,000,000 are wrong? Thats why I never go off from critics because they have been in the dark watching movies for so long that they have forgotten what its like to be a kids and what a good movie really is!

I don't think it's a case of Pixar's quality dropping, it's just that Critic's expecations have, rightfully, increased. Film from Pixar getting 78% and DreamWorks films getting 67% in recent years I honestly think would have gotten 90 or 80 a few years ago. Monsters University's only real problem is that it was ANOTHER Buddy Film; in it's own right it was meaningful and charming. Brave had imperfections, but it's biggest flaw in my view is that it was a missed opportunity to REALLY do a breakaway film for Pixar and add even more adventure and eerie folklore.

What I think is happening is that the critics are simply not pulling any punches on Pixar because they've become so acclaimed critically, and hopefully this will push Pixar to not only continue to make great films, but maybe push them into far more DIFFERENT films.

Monsters U was terrible. Pixar is a joke now.

I'm bummed whenever I see a sequel on Pixar's docket, but my niece and nephew explode with joy. Sometimes their goal can just be to entertain kids and make money. I'm fine with that. On those years, there are plenty of complex, ambiguous movies for adults.

Picturing money stacked in a life-size replica of Walter White. It's very cool but I think you'd need the world's population worth of Walt Money People before we approached Cars' insane Scrooge McDuckian intake.

Why are people citing Brave and Monsters University as signs of Pixar waning?

Brave was an original take on a Princess movie that every little kid I run across enjoyed. And the theater was howling at Monsters U.

Really, media loves to drum up drama.

Finding Dory is a 2015 film, btw.

And I think that The Good Dinosaur is going to bring back those "glory days". Pixar and Dinosaurs is a match made in heaven.

"Take some of the marketshare back that's been grabbed by DreamWorks Animation and their increasingly well received run of movies"?

Seriously??? Let me break it down for you: During the same period that Pixar release the last 4 movies you cited (i.e. since summer 2010), Dreamworks has release 7 (soon to be 8 with Turbo), FOUR of which are sequels or spinoff. The other three "originals" (Megamind, Rise of Guardians, Croods) are doing anything but grabbing audience attention, because they are mediocre and uninteresting. Judges are still out with Turbo, but I would bet anything that it will sit nicely with this bland group. So back to you: do you think Dreamworks is grabbing the marketshare because their sequels are raking in huge box office numbers? If that's so, why beat Pixar with that very same stick?

Just to be fair, pretty sure The Incredibles leads to the printing of some pretty fat stacks itself.
