I didn't see a thread for this one. Wow, this was bloody awful. I've been DYING for a good movie to use my Stubs membership on, and this wasn't it. I left and went home rather than waste the rest of a good evening on it.

My wife and I first saw the trailer for this in the theater and we both had the same reaction: It'll probably do well, but we had no desire to see it at all (and we are huge Pixar movie fans).

I mea, Pixar, an interesting premise...I wasn't gung ho on it, but I thought it would be palatable, at least.

From the moment I saw the first trailer I dreaded my boys wanting to see it. They aren’t pushing so we ain’t seeing it.

I remember seeing a trailer for this a long time ago, maybe 18 months ago. And then I didn't see anything else on it and then another trailer at star wars that seemed to have a completely different movie

Watched this a few times with my boys. I’ll admit I cried at the end.

Something is off about this movie, for Pixar it was very hollow. Maybe I've just lost my mind with cabin fever, though.

We watched it last night. Thought it was cute. Hard for my husband to watch since his dad was a deadbeat and he never had a brother.

No, you haven't lost your mind. I was appalled that this was a Pixar movie. Definitely didn't live up to the studio standard.

I kinda agree. Usually Pixar will rip your heart apart and the word about this movie was this was the most tear inducing. I didn't get any of that. It's not bad, but eh.

 

[UncleChris]

Enjoyed it a lot. Certainly not the best of Pixar, but still quite good. I'm with Beaver on this one.... I squirted a few at the end......

eeww... since when did Pixar start making those type of movies?

Watched it with the family on Disney Plus.

Probably my least favorite Pixar movie to date. Was it terrible? No. However I hold Pixar to a different standard and this one fell flat for me.

I agree they’ve just set the bar so high. It’s a decent movie not bad but it can’t hold a candle to some of the others

Sorry but The Good Dinosaur and Cars 2 really want a word with you.

Thank you, sir!

LOL

Never saw those.

I called it Brozen.

Let it Bro, Let it Bro, this van has got to roll!

I do not understand how this movie has a 7.4 rating at IMDB and an 88/94 rating at RT. I thought it was barely watchable until the end, which was decent.

Exactly! So cringeworthy. I barely made it past the "tavern" scene.

Bad movie, but then again I pretty much hate most animated movie.

Toy Story was hot garbage too. I liked the other ones.
