Most Overrated Pixar Characters

Keep in mind that overrated doesn't mean bad. These are just the characters that receive the most attention.
The Top Ten
1 Woody (Toy Story Series) Sheriff Woody Pride is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise. He is voiced by Tom Hanks in all of the feature-length and short films and by Jim Hanks in video games and shorts. He is a stuffed cowboy character that leads the other toys in adventures in the movies. His facial features are based on Tone Thyne, an animator for Disney at the time.

He gets the most attention of the toys. He's one of my favorites but I can see how he's overrated

Ugh, he is so selfish

2 Nemo (Finding Nemo)

He's more underrated honestly. Dory, Marlin, and even Squirt (who only appeared for two scenes) get more attention than him.

3 Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story Series) Buzz Lightyear is a fictional character in the Toy Story franchise. He is a toy space ranger hero according to the movies and action figure in the Toy Story franchise. In 2022, Buzz served as the central character of the film Lightyear. He is voiced by Tim Allen in the Toy Story films, and is voiced ...read more.
4 Lightning McQueen (Cars Series) Lightning McQueen, typically referred to by his surname McQueen, is a anthropomorphic stock car in the animated Pixar film Cars, its sequels Cars 2, Cars 3, and TV shorts known as Cars Toons.

He was barely redeemable in the first movie. He was just as bad if not worse at one point in cars 2

5 Dory (Finding Nemo / Finding Dory) Dory is a major character from the film, Finding Nemo and its sequel, Finding Dory. She is a blue tang known for her short-term memory loss and tends to forget almost everything, even the fish that she knows personally. This makes the mission to find Nemo even more difficult for Marlin.
6 Mater (Cars Series) Tow Mater, or simply Mater, is a character in Cars and its sequels, Cars 2 and Cars 3 as well as Cars Toons. He is voiced by Larry the Cable Guy and inspired by a 1951 International Harvester tow truck.

He's a decent character but he's a bit obnoxious and annoying when overused. He was overused in cars 2

7 Joy (Inside Out) Joy is the main protagonist of the 2015 Disney/Pixar animated feature film "Inside Out". She is one of the five emotions inside of Riley Andersen's mind and serves as the leader. Hence her name she is very positive and optimistic and wants nothing more but for Riley to be happy.

She's happy I get it. She's the only positive emotion yes but she was rude to sadness

I wish she would die in a fire.

8 MR Incredible (The Incredibles)

I'm putting the Mr incredible here because he receives the most amount of attention of the family because he was the main character

9 Russell (Up)

He's kinda annoying.

10 Boo (Monsters, Inc.)
The Contenders
11 Mike Wazowski (Monster Inc.) Michael Wazowski also known as Mike, is a main character in Monsters, Inc. and the main character of its prequel Monsters University. He is a lime green spherical monster with one large green eye, two small horns on his head, and thin arms and legs attached to either side of his torso. He is voiced by Billy Crystal.

Nobody really hates him. He's overall decent.

12 Helen Parr (Incredibles 2)
13 Ellie (Up)

A large part of the most boring part of the movie.

14 Frozone (The Incredibles) Frozone, also known as Lucius Best, is a fictional character in The Incredibles franchise. Frozone is Bob Parr's best friend, and was the best man at Bob and Helen's wedding. He is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson.
