Was 2006 the worst year for animated movies?
>Cars, Pixar's worst movie yet
>The Wild, Disney's worst animated film yet
>Ice Age starts its decline with The Meltdown
>Forgettable garbage like Barnyard and Open Season somehow ended up becoming franchises
>The completely interchangeable The Ant Bully and Arthur and the Invisibles
>Everyone's Hero (seriously what the fuck was this?)
The only highlights seem to be Flushed Away, Monster House, and A Scanner Darkly.
>Cars isn't even that bad
>Disney didn't actually make The Wild, and Chicken Little had already come out the year before
>Ice Age still had one film left before it overstayed its welcome
>Barnyard led to what was essentially Shitpost: The Animated Series
>Forgetting Over the Hedge
Though the live action stuff was pretty good, like V for Vendetta, Clerks II, and Tenacious D.

Pixar has worse movies, though they came out only ater Cars.
For Disney though, Home on the Range and Chicken Little are far worse than The Wild.
2005-2007 were, in general, dry years for animated movies.

I dunno, 2007 had some good stuff like The Simpsons Movie, Ratatouille, and of course cinema's greatest achievementBee Movie.

>Cars isn't even that bad
this, it got shit because the bar was so high for Pixar at that point. On it's own it's a 7/10 that just happened to come after The Incredibles which is one of their best films.

Those movies are bad except Ratatouille
Simpsons Movie is exactly the same as the season 10+ episodes but stretched into a 90-minute format

>starts
2000-2004 had really good animated movies. The 2D ones didn't make much at the box office, but box office doesn't determine quality.
2005-2007 had mostly lame and dry animated movies.
2008-2009 was back to great animated movies.

i never realized just how many animal themed animated movies there were from 2005-2007ish
that period in general was kind of weird, the 90s/early 2000s era was coming to a close but the current era hadn't begun yet - i guess animation was slipping while finding its footing just like the rest of culture at the time
