No really, they said that. Although apparently Up wasn't one of the post movies? Whoops.
Eh, yes and no. I was a cynical kid, and had a lot of opinions about movies despite liking them. Probably could have picked apart a lot of the Disney and Pixar movies, but I have added to my repertoire since then. I'd agree in this day and age that movies like Snow White would be dumb as hell, but for the time Disney's movies were revolutionary. Same thing with Pixar's Toy Story, how it used CGI was revolutionary despite the movie's glaring flaws.
Now amazing CGI and traditional animation aren't really new, so the story and character flaws are more noticeable. Although I feel like if Disney were to come out with a traditionally animated feature film now people would crap their pants.
I'm admittedly more lenient on older movies because of their age, lack of technology at the time and such, product of that era's mindset.
That being said, While I know Pixar's post movies have a lot of flaws, they still feel more solid than their newer works, they had time to properly flesh stuff out for later post movies while working on current ones. They had stories to tell, now the focus is on finances and it feels like they're just trying to pump stuff out. (which is totally understandable, survival is important) Also like I said before, everyone hits creative bankruptcy eventually.
Edit: @Chronitis FFF RIIIGHT? Or at least make the main conflict last more than 1 day and a night. Show people and business, wildlife being affected by the perpetual winter. Also the thing with them pointing out the "falling in love instantly" trope only to have Anna or whatever fall for another guy in a day is dumb? Why even have a romantic subplot. I also can't buy Elsa or her sister making it to a far off mountain top in the span of a few hours, ice powers or not.
