I don't really get how people think Pixar's amazing, especially after Wall-E which I hated. The only thing I like that they've done is Toy Story.

You'll like this review. This guy got stick for his views too.

Thought it was great. Have to agree with previous posters that the quality of Pixar's films always seems to be well above the likes of Bee Movie, Ice Age, Kung Fu Panda etc.

Kung Fu panda is great!

Pixar have produced some relatively average films eg Cars (this was quite boring)

Well, okay, maybe I was slightly harsh to include KFP... but you get the general gist of what I was saying.

Haven't seen Cars, so can't really comment...

It's kiddish imo. You haven't missed much.

Kung Fu Panda 2 is coming. I hope they dont ruin it. Incidentally, Jack Black is also doing School of Rock 2 and I really think they're gonna ruin it.

When is Kung Fu Panda 2 out? Next year, I'm assuming?

Hopefully, they won't ruin it -- I always thought the original film had great potential for a sequel.

KFP still doesn't come close to touching Pixar at their best though.

Cars is admittedly their one fail, though I half suspect it was purposefully average- they needed to break the sequence of great films to make their next film seem even better.

Superb film. Pixar continue to **** on all the competition. Sony and Dreamworks should just give up.

Me too, first time i've ever cried at a cinema.

Its so sad. I cried twice!

You really cant beat pixar though. I went to see toy story in 3D the other day and forgot how amazing it is.

Bring on Toy Story 3!

I saw Up in New york in June, and then I went again with my friend a week ago and I cried both times at that montage! It's so sad, but it does give you an idea of just how good Pixar are at what they do.

I saw it last week at the cinema in 3D. Excellent, although the 3D isn't worth it. Got to keep the glasses though.

I loved it. The beginning nearly made me cry.
I came away feeling really inspired though and generally happy. To me, it said, it doesn't matter if you don't get to live your dreams, because as you live, you'll make new dreams, and have new adventures.

Yeah, I saw it in 2D and I don't think it made a difference. I prefer 2D films anyway

How can you not like the cloud thing? It was awesome!

They've got an Oscar/Bafta-y thing for best animated short don't they? That's my tip for it.

I thought the cloud thing was the actual film, so nearly walked out.
