I do love the Incredibles, but in all seriousness, thats the ONLY Pixar film that deserved a sequel. The others are obviously just made for the sheer sake of Pixar making a quick buck. I was forced to watch Cars II in the theaters with my nephew and boy did I ever hate it. It was just "Cars toons the movie".
I had hopes for Brave, but I was left disappointed. It was just the same thing that was done over and over from Disney only made by Pixar(of all people). It really didn't help the fact that the executives butchered the concept of Brave while it was being developed. They even fired off their female director Brenda Chapman off of it and replaced it with a guy(sexist much Pixar?). Although I will admit a few of my friends online think the line "I'd be shooting for my own hand" sounded a bit like a joke on masturbation. Didn't help that Brave even won the oscar because it was a film from Pixar? You know what deserved the Oscar over that crappy movie? Wreck it ralph. That had a better story for me to care about then the cliched over and done with Pixar film.
A few years ago I would have agreed with you on the "Incredibles are the only ones that need a sequel" bit. Well, I mean I still think that but I'm so tired of unnecessary Pixar sequels now. The Toy Story sequels, sure. Those are fine. But Cars II? Monsters Univeristy? Now this Planes bullshit and a Nemo sequel? Come the fuck on Pixar, we know you're more than capable than making outstanding, ORIGINAL, stuff.
Except wait a minute, maybe they're not. Because I thought Brave was a huge disappointment. The movie I saw in theaters was not the movie I was shown via trailers. I was expecting an awesome story featuring a, finally, female lead to trek across Scotland fighting bears and magic creatures and shit. And what did I get? "Oops, my mom's a bear now". Pixar can go blow.
