The Most Overrated Disney Movies of All Time
Disney rules the entertainment world with an iron grip. That said, not all of their beloved animated classics hold up in the modern era. Here are some films that get more praise than they deserve.
‘The Incredibles’
“The Incredibles” is an enjoyable watch, so long as you can ignore the fact that all of its best points were stolen from “Fantastic Four” comic books. Plus, the movie’s message of genetic superiority is a difficult pill to swallow.
‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’
“Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” was groundbreaking at its time, pioneering a new form of feature length cinematic entertainment. It’s just a shame that the narrative is so sparse, and the titular character has no personality or arc within the story.
‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’
The legacy of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” suffers from endless replication. Tim Burton has made so many of these movies now that they all blur into one, and Danny Elfman’s decidedly un-hummable songs don’t exactly help things.
‘Toy Story 2’
“Toy Story 2” had a hectic development period and was originally intended to be released straight to home video. Look closely and it’s possible to see the cracks under the surface— for example, the way that jokes and story beats are recycled verbatim from the first “Toy Story.”
