So you like them all with the exception of the shorts and Ratatouille?

Just saw this movie....excellent flick! Cried only once, but was expecting that considering what everyone has said.

Alex · 06-14-2009, 02:50 PM

Ratzenberger was in Ratatouille.

And shorts don't count as movies.

I saw Up a couple days ago and I loved it. Not as much as some, like Wall E, but still a great film. Partly Cloudy was ok, but probably one of my least favorite Pixar Shorts.

Saw it again this weekend in 3D.

Unlike most here, I felt it played well the second time. Sure, it didn't have the same emotional impact as it did the first time, but the second time around some things that bugged me the first time (like the big fight scene) didn't bug me this time.

Also caught some things I hadn't noticed the first time - like the dog with an Ace up his collar...

Loved looking at all the detail in background, the wistful look of the window washer, the textures of the ties, Carl's developing stubble....it's a great movie. Still probably my favorite Pixar.

Do you think the 3D added a lot? Prefer it either way?

Prudence · 06-15-2009, 10:09 AM

Honestly, beyond the first couple scenes I didn't really notice the 3D, so I'm not sure I even have a preference. Probably prefer the 3D because the cool moments are pretty cool.

Alex · 06-15-2009, 10:29 AM

My preference would be 2D and I haven't seen it that way. The new glasses they had (at least at my theater) were not very comfortable since they had temples that actually wrapped around my ears but weren't quite "one size fits all." If I had been wearing glasses I don't know that I could have worn the 3D glasses at all.

Fortunately the brightness seemed reasonably well compensated for the glasses but still a bit dimmer than I'd prefer (and I'd imagine that a lot of theaters, with how they try to skimp on bulbs probably are running it way too dark).

I hated the new glasses.

I think i said so before, but the 3-D enhanced only the initial house-flying scenes, imo. And darkened the picture significantly ... which I noticed by taking the glasses on and off a lot during the film, because they bugged me.

2-D gets the nod from me.

ok, with a second viewing and a little time under my wing, the obligatory Pixar Ranking:

#1 - The Incredibles

2. - Toy Story

3. - Finding Nemo

4. - Ratatouille

5. - Monsters, Inc.

6. - UP

7. - Wall-E

BIG, BIG DROP OFF ....

8. - Cars

9. - Toy Story 2

10. - A Bugs Life
