All these 4 Disney or Pixar animated films have been highly successful at the box office and enjoyed tons of critical acclaim. You're welcome to discuss any aspects of these films that you liked. These subjects include, but not limited to:
-Animation style
-Voice actings
-Main characters
-Soundtracks
-Story
Let's not... A lot of people have very strong feelings about each of these movies and it'll only lead to huge flame war that I'm personally getting tired of, and I've made the decision to step away from all the drama associated with it as I try to remain more neutral from here on out. Each of these films have positive and negative merits and it isn't very fair to isolate any given fan base in a popularity contest. So let's just say they're all fine family entertainment!
Sure, why not? I'll have a go at it and rank each of the four films in each category. EVERYTHING in this post is opinion and I am fully aware that anyone could disagree, so keep that in mind.
-Animation
1) Moana - The animation was nothing short of brilliant. Great visuals throughout. The sea, the creatures, and the entire Tamatoa scene (especially when the lights go out) all was just incredible. Such an amazing movie just to look at.
2) Inside Out - Loved the glow in all the animation. The way the emotions glowed, the memories shined, and the color scheme was used to show which emotion was going on was beautiful.
T3) Zootopia and Finding Dory - Both were good animation, but nothing really stood out to me from either as particularly amazing.
-Voice acting
This one is kind of a wash for me. Voice acting isn't something that really stands out to me. Everyone in all of the movies did a fine job.
-Main characters
1) Inside Out - I absolutely loved the characters in this movie. All the emotions were great, inside each character's head. The dad scenes were hilarious, and I just loved joy and sadness.
2) Moana - Loved the characters in this one as well. Maui was fun, the chicken was hilarious, the grandma was just crazy enough, and Moana was an amazing lead character.
3) Zootopia - Judy Hops was great, and Nick was awesome. The mayor was perfect as the mayor who's trying to protect his town and reputation at the same time.
4) Finding Dory - I love Nemo, Marlin, and Dory of course, but none of the new characters really wowed me.
-Soundtracks
1) Moana - What a soundtrack! Absolutely amazing. I loved every song in this movie!
2) Zootopia - The other three are a bit of a wash, but I'll try to rank them individually. This movie only really had one song that I can think of, and I don't remember any of the score. But I do absolutely love Try Everything, and the time it was used in the movie fit the scene perfectly.
3) Inside Out - Again, can't really remember almost anything from this movie's score, but Bundle of Joy did stand out to me as a beautiful theme.
4) Finding Dory - I really can't recall any part of this movie's score.
-Story
T1) Moana and Inside Out - I loved the story in both of these. Inside Out's was a little more original, but Moana's was a little more fun. So they come in as a tie.
3) Zootopia - Very original, though the twist could be pretty predictable. But it was very fun to have a buddy cop movie be a Disney movie. Very unique as far as their movies go, and very well done.
4) Finding Dory - It was great following Dory to find her parents, though the forgetfulness was overdone somewhat and some parts of the story relied too much on her forgetting too quickly, even for her.
To clarify, I don't hate Finding Dory. I liked it quite a bit. It just doesn't quite compare to the other 3, in my book.
I'm reviving this thread.
