Alice in Wonderland:
"Weird in the worst ways, songs written by the deaf & blind in addition to awful voice acting. The only redeeming quality is the animation which isn't that spectacular in and of itself."
"Even as a little girl, when this first came out, I was disappointed in it. Disney later admitted that he undertook his version before reading Alice, and discovered that he didn't like the main character!"
"Disney's Alice is not the critical observer Carroll created at all. She is indistinguishable from all of that era's Disney heroines - helplessly feminine and mindless, but sweet. Thank goodness everyone has moved on."
"Not one of Disney's better animated films, this 1951 adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic is pretty lame. The songs are one-note. The dialogue is uninspired. Do yourself a favor. Skip it and read the book. UGH!"
"They are really cute, and you think they will learn a lesson but be all right when they don't listen to their mother, but the big walrus guy eats them. When my little boy figured this out, his face just dropped. Before that he liked it because of the really cute baby oysters."
"The mad hatter has this tongue problem that his tongue is always hanging out of his mouth. Combine that with the obnoxious worm that keeps breathing smoke in Alice's face saying who are you very annoyingly and I was thoroughly irritated."
"The charactors are annoying, especially Alice. The whole movie she's whining about going back home. Urgg! I got so sick of hearing her whine and complain I almost turned the movie off! The other charactors are stupid, the songs are bad, and the plot is boring and confusing."
"Very simply, this movie is a mess."
"With the voice talents of Kathryn Beaumont(Disney's much better "Peter Pan"), Ed Wynn("Mary Poppins"), and Verna Felton(Disney's "Sleeping Beauty"), this movie should have been much better than it is. It is sunk by passionless, directionless storytelling which only vaguely resembles its superior source material. Additionally, an unwelcome feeling of boredom begins to creep in AFTER Alice gets to Wonderland. Where was the creativity Walt Disney had mustered just the previous year for "Cinderella?" This whole effort feels like he wanted to do it simply because "Alice in Wonderland" was a great fairytale he had not yet adapted at that point."
"Disneys first true stinker"
"Along the way Disney has made a few bad ones a few stinkers with horrible unmemerable characters and stupid stories. This was there first. Alice in Wonderland is not the worst Disney film ever but it is close."
"Rather then befriending some of these weird characters and saving this world from some distaster she simply walks through meeting one annoying character after another accomplishing nothing, learning nothing, just getting annoyed in a world of jerks and idiots."
"It is too rude for children"
"It teaches no lessons other than to be mean (the queen of hearts)"
"They first problem we had was when there was a walrus SMOKING A CIGAR? Thought it was odd for a children's movie, but got over it. Later in the film a butterfly is seen floating on a giant MUSHROOM, SMOKING A BONG?!?! It is hard enough to shield our children from the evils that exist in the world. We do not need to introduce them to [this] via cartoons in their pre-school years!!! Shame on you Disney!"

Ratatouille:
"Rataphooey"
"Rat's talking to a dead person thru movie"
"I found this film terribly lame. I think my kids got a mild degree of enjoyment out of it... but they have never asked to watch it again."
"Are you asleep yet? The arch enemy is what? A food critic. Uhhhh..."
"I suppose that the redeeming message of this film is supposed to be something like - "follow your dreams". Maybe the message is "follow your heart" or "do what you love." You know, the basic idea is that you should believe in yourself and you will succeed in the end. Yeah right - and maybe you should go to college and get an undergrad degree in art, philosophy, psychology, history, or one of the many other worthless degree programs. You can also follow your heart to the kitchen, where you will be doing dishes and taking out the garbage."
"Ratatouille is a crime against our youth. It says - hey kid, you might be rat, but guess what? You just go on being a rat and stick to your dreams because some day you will go off to the big kitchen college in the city and cook your masterpiece. You will get the girl and your friends will all realize they are wrong and see what a smart rat you were."
"It made no sense and no one in our family was ever on the edge of their seat, nor laughing nor cared how it was going to turn out in the end. Disney can not market anything for this movie either which surprised me that they even considered it. No toys, no clothes, no characters at Disney, no future rides."
"While on the whole Pixar does create brilliant animated work(the "Toy Story" films and the more recent "Up" numbering among those), this film was a colossal bomb which they hid behind admittedly impressive animated views of Paris and an appeal to snobbery under the guise of satirizing French cuisine. Additionally, the audience is treated to several views of thousands of digitized rats swarming together. It was massive, foolish hubris to think that it was possible to marry rats with cooking, and make it work. Human nature itself rebels against the notion."
"This movie really draaaaaaaaaags in spots and is boring."
"Shame on Pixar. This is not Pixar quality. The animation is good of course. But for me, I just couldnt get past all the rats all over the food... UGH!!!! The story line was boring. I know that kitchen reality shows are all the rage now. (LOVE GORDON RAMSAY!!!) But this I could have done without. This movie was just dumb. Dont bother. AND AGAIN, EEEWWWW RATS !! Even though it was a cartoon, I kinda wanted them all to get snapped in Rat Traps. MMMWWWAAA HA HA HA HA."
"I quite literally had nightmares for several nights after seeing this film. I hated this movie! You could not Make me see this again, not for love or money."
"Pixar Disney's latest installment in animated banality actually managed to make me vomit it was so bad. Seriously, the film ended, and I was so overcome with anger at it's sheer stupidity and absolute lack of humor that I retched up some of my dinner. Congratulations."
"Rats are not cute, they are disgusting. Rats in kitchens and around food are revolting. Rats are a source of filth and disease. Hundreds of millions of human beings have died because of rats. Is the moviegoer supposed to enjoy the frission of revulsion? What comes next? A movie about dancing maggots?"
"Ratatouille turned out to be another over-the-top, soulless, conceited Hollywood animation gimmick to lure a big box office with over-the-top high-definition animated graphics, over-the-top, gratuitous action scenes (bordering on violent and scary), and lazy, contrived attempts at humor and storytelling which were nothing more than a rehash of tired old stereotypes, slapstick vaudeville routine, and use of any ethinic, social or psychobabble urban mythology which might possibly provoke an audience to force themselves to laugh."

Tangled:
"What is wrong with Disney?!!!! After seeing this movie with my daughter I was really disturbed. I studied fairy tales when I was a graduate student and I am familiar with their traditional meanings and messages (always positive). This is a very twisted version of an antique story. The changes brought to the story created an extremely negative underlying message. People might not be rationally aware of the "moral" of a tale, but it creates a deep impression and it is effective in molding people's feelings and their perception of reality. The moral of this story is next to unbelievable. For the way it is presented it could be summarized as "rebel to your parents, if they tell you to to be wary of the world they are lying". Indeed one of the theme songs of the movie goes "mothers know best". Of course in the movie it is just a big lie and it is repeated over and over and over. In order to start living Rapuntzel has to rebel and flee this mother-witch who tells many of the things that we mothers usually say to our daughters, including warnings about the dangers of the world (which are very real for innocent girls). But in the movie all of her advice is just fake, evil, interested. All her assertions of love (the mother-daughter exchange: "I love you", "I love you more", "I love you most") are just a cover up for self interest and exploitation. Seeing this, my daughter was almost scared and looked at me saying, "how do you know if a mother is really good"? Indeed this is not, as it could seem, a story with the usual and traditional wicked step-mother. Cinderella's step mother was clearly a villain, from the beginning she was cold and cruel, she did not resemble a normal mother giving heart felt advice to her daughter. Gothel in this movie mirrors in many disturbing ways a regular mother who gives regular advice and also makes "surprises" to her daughter (in the form of a special soup she liked). For sure we can't imagine any traditional villain doing this. And for very good reasons! They should not in your mind overlap with your parents in any way! So in the end Rapuntzel is happy beacuse she learnt the lesson: " fight all this fake affection, all this overprotection, because it is just selfish and to your complete disadvantage and it is intended to keep you away from all the fun and happiness that is out there". This message is absorbed by our unaware children. This message sneaks in our sons and daughters unconcious perception of things. Do you like it? I don't. No matter how nicely packaged it comes."
"But, the crowning horror: the evil fake mother ACTUALLY STABBING, with a knife, the thief/boyfriend in the side. I didn't see it coming, and I was horrified. Oh- yes, let's not forget my daughter, who had just turned 5, bursting into tears as the thief died. "That's the saddest thing I ever saw!" she said, in a choked little voice. Major applause for the movie-makers who talked themselves into thinking that was ok. One question: are you nuts? This isn't ok. A princess movie with that kind of horror-movie stuff? No, in case you need a little help thinking it through, it's really not part of classic fairy tales to have this kind of realistically-depicted violence. You can't justify that scene as some kind of truth-in-art."
"The evil queen needing the princess's magic hair to stay young/beautiful? Hey- where was that in the original story? It wasn't. Just more Hollywood-style women-bashing. Sending the message to young girls, run away from home, your mother's just jealous of your beauty and doesn't want you to have fun, or get the guy. Wow. Did NONE of this occur to someone in charge at this movie studio? The least you should be is embarassed, the truth is you should be ashamed. Any fathers of daughters, husbands of wives, working there? At all?"
"I'm going to get alot of comments on this, but I don't care. And when I write a review, I usually don't put a spiritual spin on things. But this movie leaves me no choice, as an Apostolic Pentecostal. This movie offended me, and my wife. I find it interesting that Disney, and most people today. Say that the hair means nothing, but that's not true. The Bible is very specific about a woman's hair, and I find it interesting that those who defend the short brown hair look. Over look the fact, that after that happens. Rapunzel is the one who asks Flynn to marry her, not the other way around. Which by the way, is a feminist view on things. I'll get comments for that. How dare the man be the one to ask, woman are equal to men. Said sarcastically, and yes. The mother figure, portrayed as being evil, is killed. But it's okay to disobey, because we don't believe in absolutes anymore. such as, an authority figure can't tell me what to do, I'm my own person. I would say, if you want to enjoy good Disney movies. Watch the ones from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. And a few from the 90's, by the way, for those who defend this movie, it's not even close to the original story of Rapunzel. Just a thought."
"long golden locks = power and short brown hair = not...etc. And then we wonder why our kids are nuts."
"The mother who steals Rapunzel stabs the boyfriend-And they show it. Not appropriate for children. Poor message overall."
"BOO"
"I saw it at the beach and it scared me and I hated it. Now my sister has it and I have had to watch it at least 900 times. So there you have it. As you know I hate,hate,hate the movie."
