I recently did a month of Disney+ when they sent me promo for first month for $2.99.

During that month I watched the Pixar movies Soul, Luca, and Turning Red (and rewatched Onward). I also watched the Disney movies Raya and the Last Dragon and Encanto. And Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs. Oh, and also the latest Dr. Strange and Thor Marvel movies, plus the Loki series.

Are you seriously claiming that all that was garbage?

Isle of Dogs is great! Disney+ is hardly the only place you can watch it though, and a lot of the other original Disney programming feels like Marvel-driven padding. The latest Pixar stuff is pretty mediocre relative to what they were making a decade ago, and Disney's modern films are... sketchy.

If you get a kick out of it, then more power to ya. Disney even gives you a place to put your money where your mouth is. For my money though, there's a lot more entertainment value to be found elsewhere.

What they were making a decade ago was Cars 2 and Brave.

Brave was pretty good, but I'm having a hard time seeing it as better than Soul, Luca, or Turning Red. And I'm having an even harder time seeing that for Cars 2.

Haven't seen Turning Red yet, but I enjoyed Brave more than Soul or Luca by a country mile. Different strokes for different folks, I guess, but Pixar's best work feels well behind them now.

NGL, until the last sentence I thought you were going in a completely different direction with this comment. I haven't seen Isle of Dogs, but the rest of that sounds like garbage / kids' stuff.
