The Croods got an Oscar nomination over this? How?!?
That's BS! MU was the best animated movie to come out this year!
shareAbsolutely ridiculous. Last year's Brave is probably Pixar's most overrated film, and it WINS.
MU is the most underrated. Not even a nod. It was a truly EXCELLENT movie with a great story, while Despicable Me 2 was a series of gags! The Croods, REALLY???
WTF!!!
To be honest I love DM2, It was great fun and hilarious, it had a lot of heart too, It shouldn't win, but a nomination is very much deserved.
I agree though Brave is completely overrated (Wreck it Ralph was the true winner last year)
Despicable Me 2 was a series of gags
Exactly! I liked it, but frankly...one viewing was kind of enough. Pixar films demand to be watched over and over.
Turbo and The Croods were in the same boat as DM2--really not BAD, actually pretty good in spots. They're just lacking that special something that makes a movie really awesome. I think most of the non-Disney/non-Pixar animated films tend to be redundant, like amalgams of older movies that are similar in theme but magnitudes better.
That's not true for Ghibli/Miyazaki films, of course. I'm still waiting for Netflix to obtain The Wind Rises already.
I don't consider Brave overrated, though. It's among my favorites from Pixar. Wreck-It Ralph is, however, excellent as well.

In the interest of time, let's agree to disagree--even though I'm always right.
