It was fine I guess...honestly (except for Toy Story 3) WALL-E marks for me the end of PIXAR's golden age (minus Cars)....not saying that movies that came after were bad, I liked most of them, but for me  they somehow lost their touch.

I agree. A lot of Pixar's films are entertaining but nowadays I wouldn't put them on a pedestal compared to DreamWorks, Illumination and Disney.

WALL-E (2008) was also the last memorable Pixar film for me (Inside Out had moments though).

 

For me the best animation studios (full length movies) of all time are still Studio Ghibli and Walt Disney Animation (pre 2000).

Walt Disney Animation hasn't made anything memorable for me after 2000. People compare Frozen to Beauty and the Beast and I just don't get it. Frozen didn't do anything that I hadn't seen many times before.

I still find PIXAR to be overall the best company making 3D animated movies, I just think they're playing it a bit too safe - maybe that's Disney's fault, who knows.

I always thought the first Toy Story, Bugs Life (oh, how I hated that movie), and Monsters Inc were a little overrated. They were just doing things that nobody else was doing at the time. I loved Toy Story 2, Wall E, Up, Nemo, the Incredibles, etc.

I think the problem is we just got older and used to it. We're just harder to please nowadays.

I'm not sure about getting older part - there are still 3D animated movies that I really loved after 2007 - Surfs Up, Horton Hears a Who!, Despicable Me 1,  How to Train your Dragon 1, Tangled, Rango, The LEGO Movie...as I said, I just think PIXAR started playing too safe.
