I remember seeing this in theatres and gettings scared of all the human characters in the film.

I thought the writing was confusing and offensive and took shots at superheroes in general (Edna).

The scenes often flip-flop between scenes and actions in two extremes that suggest bipolarism.

The characters are abrasive and ugly, and I remember being traumatized by Syndrome, Gilbert, the teacher, Edna, and Jack Jack all who I despise with a burning passion because I was overstimulated by the over-the-top acting.

I would prefer to read actual superhero comics because they had better writing and art even though this blockbuster was intended as a homage to the medium but I found it offensive.

The workplace scene was just…horrible.

Makes me grateful not to work in an office.

Honest Trailers did an episode praising the film but I disagreed because I didn’t like the film at all.

No other film has come close to traumatizing me since I watched the film when I was younger.

    I don’t think it makes much sense to say the movie is bad because it scared you as a kid.

    Coraline scared me as a kid and it’s one of my favorite films of all time.

    This is my personal childhood favourite film, so upvote because of actual unpopular opinion, I guess 😅

    The characters were ugly because at the time, no one knew how to animate humans. Pixar especially had no experience with humanoid characters at the time; their art style was favoured more towards non-human characters so they went with wacky humanoid characters instead.
