All I can say is...wha?

Dont they know by now to keep 90's movies where they belong! In the 90's! 

As said... Not like we have any reason to doubt their filmmaking excelence... I finally got around to seeing Wall-E the other day and LOVED it. Havent seen the original two Toy Stories reciently enough to really compare, but at the moment, Wall-E is probably my favorite Pixar movie to date. Only pixar movies I have yet to see are Monsters Inc. and Cars.

And why is everything 3D?

3D is extremely hard to bootleg.

Toy Story 3 was written before Toy Story 2, back before Disney began to interfere, so I'm hopeful.  The director they chose co-directed TS2, Monsters, and Nemo, plus he edited the early stuff (TS1, A Bug's Life).  I think it's in good hands... though he did go to USC.

On a side note, Up received applause at Cannes.  Pixar is 10 for 10 so far.

The Incredibles was one of my favorite animated movies of all time

I was talking about the other half of your post lol but ok 

Only pixar movies I have yet to see are Monsters Inc. and Cars.

Cars is "merely" very good.  Monsters Inc was Step 2 of my three-step rehabilitation.  I'll explain.

I saw the teaser for Finding Nemo, and I said, "eh".  Then I saw it.  Very good movie.
I saw the teaser for Monsters, Inc, and I said "that looks okay, I guess".  Then I saw it.  EXCELLENT movie.
I saw the teaser for The Incredibles, and I said "what a step back.  They don't even look very realistic anymore.  Boo."  Then I saw it.  Three times in theaters.  Best Pixar movie I ever saw and made be a Brad Bird film for life.

After those three, I stopped doubting Pixar in any way, shape or form.  They said "our next movie is about talking race cars".  I said "bring it".  They said "our next movie is about a rat that cooks".  I said "sweet".  They said "our next movie is about a trash-compactor robot that travels into space".  I said "awesome".  Until they make a bad movie, I will never ever ever doubt them again, no matter how un-awesome the idea of the movie may seem at first.

The teasers are ALWAYS almost completely unrelated to the film's content.  Just a little something to riff on the main characters a bit.  Pixar seems to be pretty good about saving quite a bit of their best stuff for in the theaters, which I appreciate.  I hate seeing all the best parts in the trailer.

 I pretty much completely agree with you, Schaef, except about Cars. It was merely an okay movie. It was way too long, not enough funny stuff happened, and it's really hard to get emotionally involved with anthropomorphic automobiles. But as far as I'm concerned, The Incredibles is one of the best animated films of all time, probably top 3 overall, along with Beauty and the Beast and almost any Miyazaki/Ghibli film. You'll have to pick your favorite there, but mine is a tie between Princess Mononoke and Castle in the Sky.

 That said, YAY for TS3!! It's about time!
