People need to work on separating their childhood nostalgia and general bias with how good a movie may or may not be.

The first is okay, the second is the best, the third is just not that good to me.

[insanenoodlyguy]

Gotta disagree with you on that one.

[(Anonymous)]

Everyone's gonna be biased when it comes to saying whether or not a movie's good. Only professional critics decide whether or not to like something based on supposedly "objective" lists of criteria.

[(Anonymous)]

lol the second one is the weakest by far

Um.

[(Anonymous)]

Rotten Tomatoes has Toy Story at 100% fresh (78 critics, 9/10 average rating), Toy Story 2 at 100% fresh (163 critics, 8.6/10 average rating), and Toy Story 3 at 99% fresh (279 critics, 8.9/10 average rating). Pretty sure these critics weren't children and almost all of them thought they were good movies, so whose separation are we talking about here? Sure, everyone has their biases, but this is pretty overwhelming evidence from people who critique movies as their jobs.

Not every opinion about an animated movie has to do with nostalgia...

[(Anonymous)]

God, same. Same. I find them so boring. I also remember watching the first one as a kid, and it never captured me like other movies I watched.

[(Anonymous)]

i was never that fond of toy story as a kid. woody was just such a dick, i didn't like him at all.

[morieris]

woody was just such a dick

I lol'd.

[(Anonymous)]

He was.

[(Anonymous)]

that's why I liked him as a kid, he was sarcastic and funny and unlike all the boring do-good characters that were forced down our throats as children

[philstar22]

By the time Toy Story came out, I was no longer a kid. But I never did much like it. I think the only Pixar movies I've really loved are the Incredibles and Brave.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey Op don't worry about it, some films lauded as classics just don't do it for us. I could never stand the original Chocolate Factory even as a kid and watching it back, I was only looking forward to the boat scene. Movie/Music snobs who act as though someone not liking one of their favs is a horrifying sin really need to calm down and realize, wonder of wonders, not everyone likes the same thing as they do.

[(Anonymous)]

I was probably getting a bit too old for Pixar/disney movies, but I wasn't wild about it either. It was ok, the second one too. I mean, the idea is cool, there are some nice gags, but it never had that magic. Oddly enough, I did cry my eyes out during the third one, but I think that had more to do with the fact that it pushed all of my buttons about leaving forever/growing up/nostalgia/saying goodbye than the actual story or characters.

Btw, if you think not liking Toy Story is bad: try not liking Up. The dog is cute, but that's the most interesting about that movie.

>25
>having a kid

I can see why this is secret tbqh

[(Anonymous)]

I think the Toy Story movies are a bit over rated. I can say on an objective level that the story telling is fine, but I didn't really "connect" with them either, especially not to the level other people did.

I think people need to accept that sometimes even if a movie is critically and commercially loved, not EVERYONE is going to like it. We don't all connect with every story presented to us, we're all different people and we view stories differently.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't worry, my best friend never really liked Toy Story either. I love the film series, but I don't hold it against anyone. I used to question my best friend why doesn't the Toy Story films but I've come to understand that not everyone likes the same thing and that's quite OK.

[(Anonymous)]

I was considerably older when it came out and I loved it. Maybe it speaks more to nostalgia for childhood than to actual childhood?

Text: I don’t get this. I was six when this movie came out. I should have loved it. I should still love it.

Hated it when I was six.

Hate it now. Hate the sequels.

It bored me then, it bores me now. I was watching the 3rd one with my kid and I played Tetris the whole time.

S!B I’m 25 and I think Toy Story is boring. How popular do you think that opinion is amongst my friends? And no, I didn’t even feel a twinge when they were all about to die. I was hoping it meant the movie was over soon and my daughter would go back to coloring.

[grackle]

I don't like the series AT ALL, and when I mentioned it elsewhere I was told by someone that I have no soul. It was ridiculous. Honestly I just don't like kid's movies. I liked very few of them when I was a kid and I don't like them much at all now. I's because 99% have a section that is deliberately tearjerky and I hate that. I just want to be happy, wtf is wrong with that. It's why I mostly end up watching action movies, or horror.

Also my childhood was pretty horrible so I have very little nostalgia for it and anything to do with it.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm like that with Lion King. Just once I mentioned that in a class full of 20+ year olds, got stares from all of them. About 4 of them actually gasped.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, congrats. You're a robot.

[(Anonymous)]

news flash: you are not required to watch or like something just because your kid likes it.

[toshi_hakari]

You don't like something other people really like. That's fine. It's your taste. Why is it a secret? I mean, yeah, Toy Story is obviously very popular, but still... you're not required to love something other people love just because it's popular.
