Of the ones Named Cars 2.
Cars 1 is....Not Great...but is helped by a good cast and a Simpler than it's sequel's plot. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it's solid and I can watch it with my kids and actually laugh along with them and enjoy it.
Cars 2 On the other hand is terrible if only by comparison. You have an OVERLY complicated (Not Complex.....complicated) plot, a BADLY shoehorned Green Aesop, a shift from a Solid performance from Owen Wilson to the constant mugging of Larry the Cable Guy, a needless Spy Movie A-plot (You know you're in trouble when your MAIN plot seems unnecessary), the loss of the voices of 2 secondary Characters (One of which is Plot-Important).
Cars is a Toyetic Film......I get that, I have no issue with it. The Mater's Tall Tales shorts are nice as they're well SHORTS. The First film was NOT strong enough to spawn a Sequel and an Upcoming Spin-off (Planes)

Wait.....they are seriously making a spin-off from Cars about Planes? Really? I'm starting to think them letting their partnership with Disney getting upgraded to Disney owning them was a bad move......

Full disclosure though, it's DTV and Pixar's name isn;t on it, so i may JUST be a Disney venture..... I feel my point stands though |

Easily 'Brave.' Horrible unlikable ultimately pointless characters who were a blackhole of interest.

To be honest
I feel Pixar has hit a bump in the road lately.
Cars 2 was rubbish.
Brave to me felt more like a dreamworks movie, I kinda expect better from Pixar.
They really need to make a strong movie again asap.. I kinda have mixed opinions about this Monsters Inc one coming out.

Bug's life definitely. Nothing that great about it. And then add on top of that that the film was a follow up to Toy Story.

WOW WOW WOW... there are people who dislike A Bug's Life?! I know right??? My vote would be Cars/Cars 2 combined. Never liked the first one, wasn't happy they even made a sequel. In third place for worst is The Incredibles (in my opinion). But even then it's a distant third. I have yet to see Brave though. As for Disney's Planes, no wonder Pixar refused to put their name on it. So disgusting. |

Cars 2.
Until then, Pixar movies were designed to give people a viewing experience that most can enjoy, regardless of age.
Cars 2 was the first specifically made for the merchandise. Add in a heaping dose of Mater, and you get a very bad film.

I liked A Bugs Life and Brave. Never saw Cars though, it just doesn't seem that good.

I wasn't crazy about either of the Cars movies at all.

I'm not really a fan of a Bug's Life, but I wouldn't call it "bad" by any stretch. I'm surprised to see Brave mentioned. It had its flaws (some very lowbrow humor), but I thought overall it was enjoyable.
Cars 2 is probably the worst Pixar film; it's not very good, but even it's not really a terrible animated movie. There are lots of stinkers that are waaay worse.

Wall-E rubbed me the wrong way, it's hard to describe but the movie actually pissed me off with it's badness.
Wall-E was the exact moment that PIXAR's unquestioned quality became highly suspect.

Are people disliking the Incredibles because of it's darkness and all the off-screen death ?

Up.
Cars & Cars 2 were clearly kids films, but UP tried really hard to be something more than that and fell really flat to me. I know a lot of people loved it and cried their eyes out at the opening montage, but it just didn't resonate at all. I know I know - I have no soul, etc etc
