Most Overrated Pixar Movies

The Top Ten
1 Inside Out

This movie is very original and all, and it's a blast the first watch, but the more you see it, the many flaws go noticed. Joy and Sadness, the main characters are unbearable at times, and a lot of the time the main characters just wander through a maze. I mean it's an incredibly great movie and all but I can name a number of Pixar movies all better than this, namely Wall-E, Toy Story and its sequels, The Incredibles, Coco and Ratatouille

Not overrated at all. You're lucky I can't see you (whoever made this list). Inside Out is a great family that the whole family can enjoy. It's loveable, sad and it's the only great thing we have seen from Pixar in 5 years. Since Toy Story 3, Pixar never really showed who they really were until they released Inside Out. So yeah, not overrated. Not even a little bit.

Contrived, badly written, and not funny at all. Does nothing for me emotionally because Riley is basically a robot controlled by one-dimensional characters. Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong are extremely annoying. One of Pixar's worst movies if you ask me.

Go see YMS for proof that Inside Out is overrated, but not bad. For me, it has a lot of great aspects that ElectricDragon505 explained. - The Ultimate Daredevil, who gives Inside Out a 5/6 stars (a 9 for the animation, a 9 for the sound, an 8 for the story and an 8 for the characters).

2 Up

The creators came up with a montage so emotional and powerful that they forgot to make a plot for rest of the film.

They say that Cars 2 is worse tan the first one, but this is not very appealing to the taste of adults

Contrived emotional montage does not make a good movie

The only way I want Up is THIS on this list.

3 Wall-E

I'm sorry but I just find Wall-e very boring and uninteresting. Everyone praises this movie as the best animated movie ever and attack anyone that does not like it. Everyone goes on and on about how cute the robots are and the romance between the robots. There is romance in a lot of other films not just this one. I don't like how the main characters do not talk at all and just make weird noises. I don't find any of the characters interesting at all. Most of them are all forgettable and bland.

I do not find WALL-E to be that good either, RalphBob. But I sorta love it. I would love WALL-E with a passion like everyone else if it weren't for the fact that ALL the humans are portrayed to be obese and if WALL-E had fairly better environments (on Earth) that look actually like a city rather than a spaceway of garbage, which it is. So yeah... I give WALL-E an 8/10.

Actually this movie deserves all of its praise In my opinion. It has that Studio Ghibli-vibe to it with its rather calm atmoshpere with powerful and interesting moments in it.

"Up" was pretty overrated, but Wall-E is practically interminable and unwatchable.

4 The Incredibles

I like this film but it is way too overpraised. I always see this film as the number 1 best Pixar film on ranking lists. Why is Inside Out number one? People rarely talk about that film anymore while the Incredibles is always talked about. I honestly feel that people mostly love this film because of superheroes which in my opinion is an extremely overrated movie genre.

It was so staggeringly dull and humourless. The only funny bit - shown in the trailer - wasn't even in the film. Dire.

Easily the most overrated movie ever made.

I love it but it's not the best Pixar movie.

5 Cars

Underrated. Mostly everyone hates Cars just because of Cars 2 or that the movie is about cars. You might as well hate Toy Story because it is about toys or hate Monsters Inc because it is about monsters. The hate that the Cars franchise gets is annoying.

I think Cars is underrated. People don't realize how much hidden humor and how many references there are in this movie. There's more than any other Pixar movie.

This is definitely the weakest Pixar movie for me. I cannot believe how high the praise for Cars is. I said my score for Cars sometimes. - The Ultimate Daredevil

Even if it technically is "underrated", its fellow fans make it sort of seem overrated becuase of how much demonization its sequel gets (which in my opinion was a better movie)

6 Incredibles 2

Not overrated. It's viewed by the majority of people to be weaker and less interesting than the original, which it also is. One of the few movies to earn the right amount of praise from my point of view.

7 Toy Story 3

From an objective stand-point Toy Story 3 is a perfect sequel. However in my personal opinion, this great plot and story kind of falls apart off a few things. For one, that Barbie x Ken romance..., not a fan of that one particularly.

I love this film very much, it's ending made me cry but I think the film is a bit overrated if we compare it with other great pixar films.

Ok, I LOVED Toy Story 3 but I think it's sort of overrated and people bash other 'weaker' Pixar films because they supposedly didn't reach the standard of toy story three!

The most overrated one by far. Never been a fan of this one.

8 Brave

A movie about a young woman who acts like a ' child to then obeying her mother who has been nothing but strict, mean and annoying throughout this whole movie. Such a stupid and silly mother-daughter movie. This is not a movie about someone who fights all the time.

What's so great about a character that acts childish for no reason?! Brave is a decent movie, apart from that. Please see Disneycember - Brave to see why Brave is not too bad although flawed.

It's one of the least talked-about Pixar movies, definitely not overrated. It should stay that way seeing as Brave is one of the least fun Pixar entries.

Oh no brave is so childish calm down it's a movie

9 Finding Nemo

Great movie and all but Finding Dory was on its own a more fun film to watch.

10 A Bug's Life

This is a really amazing movie that most people have now forgotten about. It is very underrated, not overrated.

The only guy I know who is a bit obsessive on this movie is me, so false.

More like underrated

The Contenders
11 Toy Story 4

Actually this movie is both over- and underrated, seeing as its quite loved, but most people always talk about how weak this one is compared to its prequels, while I think it's the second best Toy Story film.

I agree this movie is everywhere.
I hate those types of movies that show up everywhere. I mean like who even does that! why can't it just show up a little bit like other movies?! well to be honest don't hate this movie it acully looks quite funny.

why do many people consider this the best toy story film? this is the only TS movie that is bad and should be considered one of the worst Pixar movies

The ending ruined the whole movie

12 Turning Red

This movie would have sparked George Floyd-level riots had it won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature instead of Pinocchio.

13 Toy Story

While I loved "Toy Story", it was said to be a ripoff of Jim Henson's "The Christmas Toy". I consider "Toy Story" an homage of "The Christmas Toy". I'll admit. Benthelooney does make some good points on why he hates Toy Story (suc as Woody being a whiner that lets jealousy strike back at him and Buzz Lightyear having to believe the fact that he's also a toy) no matter how pathetic that excuse is.

I hate these movies. What is so good about them? Kill all the characters (except forkie) critics like rotten tomatoes totally play favorites with this crap.

Excellent movie, but honestly the sequels were the epitome of perfection in movies in general.

14 Toy Story 2

It's underrated because of how much praise the first and third movies get while this one's seen as just "the other great movie". Well before Toy Story 4 at least. Me? I think it's the best.

Worst Pixar movie tied with Incredibles 2!

15 Cars 2

*Underrated. Honestly, Cars 2 sure might be a poor sequel, but that doesn't mean it's a bad movie, if you know what I mean. It really is more interesting and fun than any of the other two Cars installments.

The definiton of underrated Pixar movies. It may not be as warm as other Pixar movies, but I can guarantee that this movie makes me feel like a badass. - Kieran Stark aka The Ultimate Daredevil

Seriously? No one likes this film. It is ranked as the worst Pixar movie on 99% of Pixar movie ranking lists.

16 Monsters University

How does Monsters University have much more merchandise than its predecessor? And this is coming from someone with a mixed-to-positive opinion on this prequel/successor.

This film is good, and it's not overrated

17 Coco

Underrated movie and one of the best of all time. Probably because the newer Pixar originals don't get much praise seeing as Brave and The Good Dinosaur weren't the best of the bunch, and even Onward is not talked about.

18 Ratatouille

Definitely the most underrated pre-2010s pixar movie alongside A Bug's Life. It's really great.

19 Soul
20 Finding Dory

It's more fun than Finding Nemo.

Its listed twice

21 Onward

Movie came out, barely anyone remembers it. Maybe because it skipped theaters due to covid-19, but this movie is not overrated

I’ve seen some Pixar rankings on YouTube (mainly comments) and holy... many are saying this is a Top 3 best. What?

22 Cars 3

The Cars franchise as whole is pretty overrated stuff, while at the same time being "underrated". Cars 3 is more of a proper sequel to the original than Cars 2 in that it follows McQueen's journey and how his career is soon over, but in the end it rehashes a lot from the original movie, in that McQueen is just training. Cars 2 really was the better sequel in reality seeing as it was more distinct from the original while also developing further characters like Mater.

It was so unnecessary.
Had potential to be pretty great but was dumbed down with a very weak story.

23 The Good Dinosaur

I guess you could call it "overrated" in the sense that the few times people talk positive about the movie they only go on the animation and not the storytelling, but it really actually is an underrated Pixar movie, moreso the most underrated one.

This movie is actually underrated.

24 Monsters, Inc.

Still today one of Pixar's finest works of art. Absoultely deserves its praise.
