I'm really worried about Pixar's Wall-E.

[E equals MC2]

Saw the full trailer and it looks boring.... it doesn't have the colorful characters like in Ratatouille, Toy Story, Nemo, A Bug's Life and Monsters, Inc... nor the witty opportunities for humor..

Just two robots in love.. looks like most of the movie will be a mime.

And this is coming from a fan who loved every Pixar movie, even Cars.

Disagree totally. The latest trailer I thought was awesome. It's like nemo but instead of an ocean journey it's through space. I think it's gonna be great. Of course anything would be better than Cars.

Ratatouille was probably the biggest flop for Pixar.

Uh.. u serious? Ratatouille was their grand comeback from Cars. It restored all the magic, humor and everything.

I LOVED the part where the critic tastes ratatouille in the end... so beautifully portrayed. Almost got me all teared up laughing.

Doesn't bother me. I am totally un-interested in Pixar films.

None of Pixar's films have been a flop. They've all been hits. Some moreso than others.

What was wrong with Cars? I thought Nemo was the worst Pixar film.

Blasphemy. People generally consider Cars as their least hit.

I'm not exactly sure how $620 million dollars in theatrical gross constitutes a "flop".

On my list of worries I'd have to put the election this fall as number one, but Wall-E is now a very close second to that. Loved Ratatouille though! :thumbsup:

Not sure where you came up with $620 million.

$206,445,654 Domestic gross. Lowest of all Pixar films.

 

[Ramma2]

Toy Story 1995 $361,958,736
A Bug's Life 1998 $363,398,565
Toy Story 2 1999 $485,015,179
Monsters, Inc. 2001 $525,366,597
Finding Nemo 2003 $864,625,978
The Incredibles 2004 $631,442,092
Cars 2006 $461,981,604
Ratatouille 2007 $620,261,049

I don't see any of them as being a "flop".

And it won some oscars didn't it? I know it was at least nominated for a bunch.

620 million is the worldwide gross.

Click your link. Then click on Ratatouille. Observe that world-wide gross is $621 mil. Then click on Cars. Observe that worldwide gross is $461 mil.

$621,321,640 Worldwide; the foreign gross was very impressive.

uh Wall-E? It's not even out yet?

 

[Passions]

Ok ok....it was a domestic flop then.

 

[foghorn67]

I loved all Pixar films including Cars. I thought Cars was a needed break from serious undertones. Looking forward to Wall-E.

 

[effowe]

I haven't seen a Pixar movie since the original Toy Story, haven't even heard of this one. Basically what I'm saying is that I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this thread, carry on.

World wide gross. Given the margins that they're seeing, I don't think anything they've done could be considered a flop. Cars had the lowest margin at just under 300% profit and Finding Nemo at about 800%.

The buzz on Wall-E is REALLY good. If I had to wager a guess, I'd say Pixar may in fact have its biggest hit yet on its hands.
