being a big computer graphics fan,
i used to wait for every animated movie to come out regardless of what it was (shrek/dinosaurs/chicken little, etc etc etc).......but after
a certain point, i realized almost ANYBODY can put out a computer animated movie..............so i had to have some criteria to separate the wheat
from the chaff............................................wall-e is apparently heading down the road of chaff................i might have been ambivalent before,
but rethinking it, makes me realize how sub-par and displeasing it really was..

Well no wonder you're so negative toward it. Most of those movies were utter crap. I think I'd be getting tired of cg animated movies too if I bothered to see all the crappy ones along with all the good ones.
I remember watching "The Wild" on a free PPV night. We got about 15 mins into it and I said out loud "This a bad version of Finding Nemo". The movie plain old sucked. I just did not enjoy it one bit. I've seen all three Shrek movies. I loved the first one the best. I think the third one is second best to me. I haven't seen Chicken Little and I don't plan to, just because it looked so bad.
Do yourself a favor and avoid the crappy looking cg animated movies (the ones that look like they have a crappy story that is). You're right, anybody can put out a computer animated movie. If you had to watch all those other movies to find that out, well, that's sad. The thing I like about Pixar movies is something they said on the commentary of Finding Nemo. "We make the movie we want to see first and it usually turns out to be fun for the kids too."

The amount of money a film makes is no bar to how creative and artistic a film is.
The prequels made shit loads more money than the original versions of the original star wars trilogy and they suck as far as i'm concerned.
More than suck, actually they are a complete unmitigated unforgivable travesty of a classic, so far watered down now for the kiddies. and they added fake cgi for the bubblegum brained morons who like this shit better.
If the amount of money a film makes is the only important factor then films the dumbed down american public goes to see, (aka the average stupid american who watches american idol), are the most sucessful and artful films ever made.
Actually, they didn't. You need to adjust for inflation to do a proper comparison. Unadjusted, the prequels each made more than ESB and ROTJ, but ANH beat them all out. Adjusted, the prequels stunk in comparison.
