Even their underdog still has some things to like.

Rating: 5/10 (18 April 2019)

A lot of people consider this to be one of the underdogs of pixar and indeed I agree that it was the first movie by them to not be sheer awesome.
Its simpering story of a hotshot learning to stop and smell the roses while he's trapped in a small town isn't exactly what anyone was expecting, the adventure is nil, the drama and character development is layered on.
To give the movie credit, it's probably a little misunderstood. It came from a long line of movies that involved characters physically moving from A to B while we have a character who was literally made for that purpose yet he finds himself grounded. There's a nuanced sense of character, creative dialogue and something to like regarding the story of how a fast moving world left the small towns behind.
There's a lot to bet annoyed about too (just check the cinemasins) but the usual disney magic shines though what is ultimately a failed experiment.
