Very true...
The "fast and the furious"...basically stupidity on film...is the real difference.
But I'm still stunned at how well minions did...proving yet again that people don't want "cerebral" like inside out and love the air conditioning in the summer.
The Fast & Furious stuff is stupid, but it's fun. It's just so over-the-top ridiculous that I can enjoy it on DVD or cable. I wouldn't pay to see it in the theater. Plus, we are car people, and the cars are so varied that they have a wide appeal.
We liked Minions. They are pretty cute, and the movies have a nice evil change of pace that you don't usually get with Disney cartoons. I loved the family that picked them up hitchhiking. I know I have a Minion as my avatar, but it was just too cute and they got rid of my Cheshire Cat

I am not really an uber fan. We haven't seen Inside-Out yet, but only because DS was at Grandma's when it was released and saw it with her. It's in our Netflix queue. I think we tend to like the "cerebral" ones, since Wall-E and Up are some of our favorites.
I am cerebral all day at work, so sometimes it's nice to see something silly, fun, and cute. I used to love watching Beavis & Butthead before I went to bed and college. It was a good way to relax the mind

I would have to say that a lot of the Disney stuff isn't exactly cerebral, especially most of the princessy stuff. Frozen was barely there. It was cute the first time I saw it, but I am getting pretty sick of it now. DS still loves it, but he's in choir and loves to sing the songs
