This one seemed like it took a bunch of discarded bits from other Pixar films and decided to combine them into a movie. It struck me more as a sequence of vignettes than a single whole. Even though the characters are likable enough, it was a real slog for me and it took me several nights to get through it. Of the last three Pixar films, only SOUL did a good job of hooking me right out of the gate, so I'm hoping that this trend stops and I regain my faith in the company. But for now, I'm left to wonder if someone influential and high up behind the scenes might have left the company five years or so ago since that seems to be when I started to notice a change in things.
