Remember when direct-to-video was a pejorative? The expectations of a direct-to-video movie aren’t as high as something you see in the theater. It’s also a term that is quite dated and I’m probably showing my age just by uttering it as if it’s a phrase that most moviegoers use. Planes is the most recent film that I can think of that was supposed to go straight to video but was redirected when Disney thought they had a low-key hit on their hands. That film was OK, but it wasn’t in the same league as Cars, or even Cars 2. Those were the days when every animated film had the aurora of somewhat being worth ticket prices (and snacks) in movie theaters.
