When did Pixar peak? I got to looking at a list of their films and it seems like it was more than a decade ago.
Brave I don't really remember much about it beyond girl power. Monsters University I watched once, I was never into the college or sorority genre. Inside Out wasn't bad but wasn't great and I could see hints of The Message in it. No one remembers The Good Dinosaur.
Cars 2 was the last good Bond flick. Toy Story 3 was the perfect ending to that series. The intro to Up is a top tier film moment.
I only have Inside Out and Incredibles 2 from anything released after 2015. Nothing else merited acquiring.
I remember Soul because of some youtuber whining that people had a duty to go see it and support good art. Obviously this struck a chord with me and I saw it 10 times.
Brave did OK and it had a few fans at one point. Nowhere near juggernaut status though.
WALL-E still had a very clever subplot, IF you'd already seen Hello, Dolly!
I'll stand by Luca as a wholesome classic that had no business coming out in the current year. Inside Out was pretty good too. I'd have no qualms putting it on for family night.
As for the rest, they were either mediocre or I didn't even bother watching them. And that's not even getting into the mediocre-to-bad sequels like Incredibles 2 or Toy Story 4.
Brave, Inside Out and Coco were all pretty good, though not up to the levels of Pixar's earlier movies. The good Dinosaur stood out as being Pixar's first genuine flop. After that, yeah, things went downhill fast.
