It's still a good film in it's own right but Pixar is showing some fatal flaws at this point. They have these great concepts and they keep reducing them to the same story formats and it's lazy, it's soulless (hahahaha), and worse of all, between this and Onward, it's getting kind of boring.
Since the film itself is fine, I'll give it a 6/10 but I'm starting to really lose patience with Pixar now.

I haven't watched Soul or Onward yet in their defence, but I do miss the fun adventures of Movies like Cars, The Incredibles, and Monster's Inc, or the really creative Wall-E.
Now it all feels grounded in normal reality based Emo Drama that even the CW would reject imo.
